===Selekt DSM Bi-Amp/Tri-Amp options===
 
:This is an example of a Tri-Amp <u>PASSIVE</U> system:
 
:*Each [[Selekt_DSM_Cartridges#SELEKT_DSM_CARTRIDGE_-_POWER_OUT|<u>Selekt power amplifier</u>]] output drive each loudspeaker crossover channel seperately. (Any shorting links/bridging strip across the loudspeaker back panel MUST be removed. Please refer to a Linn Retailer to ensure that this is done correctly)
 
:*If you wish to Bi-Amp you only need two [[Selekt_DSM_Cartridges#SELEKT_DSM_CARTRIDGE_-_POWER_OUT|<u>Selekt power amplifier</u>]] cartridges.
 
:*If you wish to use external amplifiers you only need one [[Selekt_DSM_Cartridges#SELEKT_DSM_CARTRIDGE_-_2Ch_LINE_OUT|<u>Selekt Line-Level</u>]] cartridge and fed this single stereo line level feed to all external amplifier inputs.
 
<br>
 
[[File:Tri-Amp-Selekt_DSM.jpg|center]]
 
Notes:
 
:* This is <b><u>NOT</u></b> an Exakt digital crossover. All Selekt Power Amplifier/Line-level outputs are FULL range.
 
:* No HDMI Switching module is required for this setup.
 
:*<span style="color:red"> Do <b><u>NOT mix</U></B> [[Selekt_DSM_Cartridges#SELEKT_DSM_CARTRIDGE_-_POWER_OUT|<u>Selekt power amplifier</u>]] cartridges and  [[Selekt_DSM_Cartridges#SELEKT_DSM_CARTRIDGE_-_2Ch_LINE_OUT|<u>Selekt Line-Level</u>]] cartridges for Bi-Amp/Tri-Amp/Quad-Amp... system This is due to the Selekt power amplifier having a <b><u>lower gain</u></b> than other Linn amplifier. Therefore the feeds to loudspeaker inputs from the Selekt power amplifier and external power amplifier will be mis-matched in volume.</span>

===Selekt DSM with 5.1ch Surround integrated amplifier and an HDMI module with Linn Surround module===
 
:This is an example of use in a Surround system (check next point for more information of use):
 
 
 
:* All loudspeaker are driven by the Selekt power amplifier cartridges.
 
:* The Sub-woofer(s) are fed from the RCA output.The Linn Surround Module is fitted to the HDMI Switching module.

===Selekt DSM with 5.1ch Surround with mixed cartridges and an HDMI module with Linn Surround module===
 
:*This shows you that up to three cartridges can be fitted to a Selekt DSM. <br>
 
:*These cartridges types can be mixed within the same Selekt DSM. <br>

# '''EXAKT LINK'''- To connect to Exakt compatible devices (Exaktbox, Exakt Speakers, Urika II etc). This means that you not limited to only use these cartidges to output to speakers. You can also use Exakt speakers and/or Exakboxes.

Notes:<br>
 
<sup>'''1'''</sup> Each cartridge can be run with [[Selekt_DSM_Cartridges#SELEKT_STANDARD_DAC_MODULE|'''Standard''']] or [[Selekt_DSM_Cartridges#SELEKT_KATALYST_DAC_MODULE| '''Katalyst''']] DAC Module. (These are fitted internally to the cartridge.)<br>
 
<sup>'''2'''</sup> Each cartridge shares the same volume control. That is, change the Selekt DSM volume and all cartridges outputs change to this volume.<br>
 
<sup>'''3'''</sup> Analogue Output:
 
:::RCA - 2V rms, 300&#937;
 
:::XLR - 4V rms, 600&#937;
 
<span style="color:red"><sup><i>'''4'''</i></sup> 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.</span><br>
 
<sup>'''5'''</sup> Power Amplifier outputs: Max 100W/4&#937;, 50W/8&#937; per channel, Gain 20dB
 
:The Selekt power amplfiers have a slightly lower gain than other Linn power amplifiers, (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.
 
::*In Surround mode the gain offset can be adjusted on seperate channels to adjust for this offset.
 
<sup>'''6'''</sup> Some Electrostatic speakers may require a modification to work with Linn Selekt Class-D amplifier. Please refer to the speaker manufacturers website for information.<br>
 
<sup>'''7'''</sup> Adding the HDMI Switching module will DISABLE the onboard HDMI-ARC socket. HDMI-ARC will now work from the HDMI Switch module HDMI OUT socket
