Installation

We recommend that your Dorik stands are unpacked, installed and adjusted by an authorised Linn retailer. To get the best from your loudspeakers, it is important that they are positioned and levelled correctly.

Please note, in order to achieve the very best from your system, some adjustment may be required after positioning, levelling and connecting. See the Fine adjustment section.



Unpacking

IMPORTANT: The Dorik stands are heavy; take great care when moving them.
When unpacking, lifting or moving them, we recommend using two people to avoid personal injury.

  • Do not lay the loudspeakers on their front face as this will damage the loudspeaker.
  • We recommend that you retain the packaging in case you need to transport your loudspeaker(s) at a later date.


  • Take care when unpacking to avoid damage to the cabinets.

Move the (boxed) loudspeaker to an uncluttered, flat area adjacent to its eventual position (this will avoid any excessive moving and carrying of unpacked loudspeakers).

IMPORTANT: Take care not to over tighten the bolts.


Fitting the module to the Speaker

Akudorik Top plate-Transit screws.jpg


Any supported speaker can be fitted to any Dorik stand, you use the Konfig software to configure which speaker connects to which module. You will not get any Music from the speakers until this is done.

Remove the 2off transit screws (M4x25) from the Akudorik stand Top-plate


Place the speaker on the module, Dorik speakers can be bolted onto the using the 4off M8x16 screws supplied.

Check the orientation is correct - cooling find to the front of the speaker and power socket to the rear of the speaker


IMPORTANT: Take care not to over tighten the bolts.


Positioning

As with any stereo loudspeaker there are some fundamental principles which should be observed to get the best sound from your loudspeakers.

  • The loudspeakers should be place at an equal distance from the wall behind the loudspeakers.
  • The speakers should be a similar (not the same) distance from the walls to the outside of each loudspeaker.
  • Any toe-in applied should be the same for each loudspeaker.
  • The loudspeakers should be level with all four spikes in contact with the floor. Use Linn Skeets for hard floors.



For further assistance, try our customer support pages or the Linn Forum.


Levelling


Screw the spikes into the corners of the stand.
Fit the lock nuts but do not tighten at this stage.



Very carefully (do not scratch the cabinet), use a spirit level to check if it is sitting level. If it is, gently rock the loudspeaker from front to back, side to side and diagonally to check for any movement. If none is present and the loudspeaker is sitting level, no adjustment to the spikes is necessary.


If the loudspeaker is not level, or moves when you rock it, loosen the appropriate lock nuts using the tool provided and use a screwdriver to turn the spikes to adjust their height. Adjust the spikes to level the speaker, using a spirit level placed on the stand.

Press down firmly on the top of the loudspeaker to ensure it is in close contact with your flooring.

Use the spirit level as before and continue to adjust the spikes as required.


Once the speaker is level and does not rock, use the screwdriver to hold the spike in place and fit and tighten the lock nuts with the spanner provided.


Note: To protect wooden or tiled floors, the spikes can be placed on Linn Skeets which are available from your Linn retailer.

KONFIG setup

MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE USING THE LATEST VERSION OF KONFIG (at least V4.13.74)
(This version of Konfig will NOT work on MAC OSX Snow Leopard and these speakers CANNOT be configured with earlier versions on KONFIG)

The factory setting for the AkuDorik stand module has no speaker defined. This will mean that when you start playing music the speaker will be muted.

Use Konfig to configure the AkuDorik stand module to the attached speaker. With the AkuDorik speakers this MUST BE

Speakers: 1 x AKUDORIK
Variant: AKUDORIK EXAKT FILTER

IMPORTANT Any other setting may damage the speaker drive units so ONLY

Enter the Akudorik speakers' serial number that is fixed to that particular Akubarik stand module. (This will allow Konfig to download the speaker measurements from the 'cloud' and setup the AkuDorik stand for the Exakt setting for that speaker)

Operation

Image:Akudorik_Exakt_OFF.jpg

General

If the Exakt DSM is in Standby, the Akudorik speaker is totally shutdown. No LED's or indicators are shown




Image:AkudorikE_ON.jpg

When the Exakt DSM is brought out of Standby it will send trigger voltage and wake the speaker up. The LED's beside the Mains socket/Exakt link sockets will tell you the status. After approx 6seconds the Blue LED on the top of the speaker will illuminate stating "it's ready to party!"




Image:AkudorikE_No_Power.jpg‎

If you have brought the Exakt DSM out of standby and you only get this LED then the speaker has no Mains power. Check the Mains lead is fully inserted into the speaker and the wall socket mains switch is ON.
