SELEKT DSM CARTRIDGE - 2Ch LINE OUT

Selekt-LineOut-Module.jpg

Description:

This is a cartridge with 2off line-level audio channels.
Each channel has a XLR and a RCA output. BOTH can be used simultaneously. That is, both XLR and RCA socket are always live and do not affect each other's performance.



DAC - Stereo Digital to Analogue Convertor module options
This will allow you to select the audio performance of this cartridge.


Option 1: Standard (Level-1)



Option 2: Katalyst (Level-2)



Option 3: Organik (Level-3)



Line Output:

RCA:

Output Level: 2V rms @volume 80

Output Impedance: 300Ω


XLR

Output Level: 4V rms @volume 80

Output Impedance:      600Ω




Note:

  • DAC's are sold seperately and ONE DAC module MUST be fitted to the the cartridge to get audio from this cartridge.
  • Different DAC's modules can be used with each Selekt Cartridge.
Either
  • Standard (Level-1) Stereo DAC is the standard DAC.
or
or
  • Only one type of DAC module can be installed in each cartridge.
That is, You CANNOT have a Standard and a Katalyst DAC module installed in the same Line-level, Power-amplifier or Hybrid 1.1 catridge at the same time.
  • These Standard and Katalyst DAC modules are interchangeable in different cartridges in the same Selekt DSM.
However Organik DAC modules CANNOT be used with Standard and Katalyst DAC modules in different cartridges, in the same Selekt DSM
  • The Organik MONO DACs can ONLY be used in the Mono Line Out Cartridge
  • You CANNOT mix Organik Stereo cartridges with Organik Mono Line Out Cartridges
  • Warning: Changing Selekt Cartidge(s) or Module(s).
Applies to: All Selekt DSM variants
To reduce the risk of damage to your Selekt DSM:
  • The Selekt DSM MUST be disconnected from Mains power supply by BEFORE any cartridge(s) or module(s) are removed/Inserted.




SELEKT DSM CARTRIDGE - POWER OUT

Selekt-PowerOut-Module.jpg

Description:

This is a module with 2off Class-D Power Amplifier channels
Each channel uses 4mm/Banana/binding post terminals



DAC - Stereo Digital to Analogue Convertor module options
This will allow you to select the audio performance of this cartridge.


Option 1: Standard (Level-1)



Option 2: Katalyst (Level-2)



Option 3: Organik (Level-3)



Power Amplifier Output:

Bridged Class-D amplifier with post-filter feedback using 4mm/Banana/binding post terminals.
      Max output power:




100W/channel into 4Ω load,


50W / channel into 8Ω load



THD+N: 0.001%
Dynamic Range      110dB
Gain: 20dB



Note:

  • An upgrade to the Selekt Power supply may be requried to use any new modules.
  • Power Amplifier outputs: These are CLASS-D amplifier outputs and speakers should ONLY be connected/disconnected when the product in is Sleep state or powered OFF.
  • Some Electrostatic speakers may require a modification to work with Linn Class-D amplifier. Please refer to the speaker manufacturers website for information.
  • The Selekt power amplfiers have a slightly lower gain than other Linn power amplifiers, (original Majik/Akurate..). If you are going to Bi-Amp a pair of speakers then we would recommend either ALL Selekt Power amplifier cartridges or ALL Selekt Line level cartridges with external amplifiers.
  • DAC's are sold seperately and ONE DAC module MUST be fitted to the the cartridge to get audio from this cartridge.
  • Different DAC's modules can be used with each Selekt Cartridge.
Either
  • Standard (Level-1) Stereo DAC is the standard DAC.
or
or
  • Only one type of DAC module can be installed in each cartridge.
That is, You CANNOT have a Standard and a Katalyst DAC module installed in the same Line-level, Power-amplifier or Hybrid 1.1 catridge at the same time.

To reduce the risk of damage to your Selekt DSM:
  • The Selekt DSM MUST be disconnected from Mains power supply by BEFORE any cartridge(s) or module(s) are removed/Inserted.




SELEKT DSM CARTRIDGE - 1.1 ( Hybrid power amp / subwoofer line)

Centre-sub.jpg

Description:

This is a module with:
  • single line-level audio channel with 2off RCA sockets sharing the same single feed. (e.g. Subwoofer)
and
  • single Class-D Power Amplifier channel with 4mm/Banana/Binding post terminals. (e.g.Centre channel speaker)
This is designed to work with Selekt Power Amplifer cartridges.

Note:

  • After this module has been installed please make sure that you are using the HDMI OUT on the Selekt-HDMI-Switch module and not the socket marked HDMI-ARC.
  • This may require a new power supply to be installed in your Selekt DSM. This will be checked at the time of ordering the Selekt HDMI switching module by your Linn Retailer
