Exakt Prerequisites

Exakt Link Wiring

The Exakt system uses twisted cables Category 5 & Category 6.
These cables must comply with Ethernet termination pairing. All 4-pairs are used.

If you have any connection difficulties on the cable, we suggest having them checked with LAN testers

Konfig distances

The distance from the speaker to the wall are from the Front corner of the speaker cabinet, NOT the stand or any other part of the speaker.

We suggest that you generate a drawing with the Room layout and the speaker/listener locations within that room. similar to the diagram on this page

If you contact Linn Products regarding the operation of these Exakt products, please supply a copy of this dimensions/diagram.




Operational issues

No Sound from the speakers

If the DSM is playing but no audio from the speaker, check the LED's on the back of the Exakt Tunbok or Exakt Exakt Speakers

You MUST have at least:
LED_0 (Master port)- Flashing and
LED_1 (Audio Clock) - OFF If you have a second (Slave) Exakt Speaker/Tunbok connected to this device then
LED_2 (Slave port) - Flashing

  • If these LED's (LED_0-3) are all OFF and only the FALLBACK (RED) LED is ON: then the speaker is still in Standby. Check that the power to the Exakt speaker/Tunbox is switched on and the product power switch is ON

IF YOU HAVE ANY DIFFICULTIES TRY ANOTHER CAT-5 EXAKT LINK CABLE FIRST

LED_0(Master Port)

Permanently ON: There is no communications from the Exakt DSM: Solution: try a different Exakt Link cable from the Exakt DSM or Exakt Speaker Slave socket
Permanently OFF: Found by DSM, but no communications yet.
FLASHING: WORKING

LED_1(Audio clock)

Permanently ON: No audio clock detected on the cable, Solution: try a different Exakt Link cable from the Exakt DSM
Permanently OFF: WORKING
FLASHING: No audio clock is not locking, suspect poor cable connection, Solution: try a different Exakt Link cable from the Exakt DSM

LED_2(Slave Port)
