Product info
- Product Name: Urika II
- Date of Introduction: Jan 2018
- Type: MC Phono Stage using Exakt technology
- For use with Linn DS/DSM with Exakt sockets
- Requires a Radikal power supply
Features
- Moving coil (MC) internal phono stage for LP12
- The most precise implementation of the RIAA curve
- Converts music signal to digital at the earliest point possible
- Lossless digital output over Exakt Link
- Component manufacturing tolerances measured and corrected
- Optimised for your chosen cartridge
- TOSLINK digital output (192K / 24bit)
Support
Manuals
Konfig for setup of the Urika II
Back Panel Connections
- RADIKAL INPUT - For connection to the RADIKAL LP12 motor power supply. 1'
- EXAKT LINK- For connection of Exakt products (Linn DS/DSM with Exakt sockets/speakers/ExaktBox).
- TOSLINK DIGITAL OUTPUT - To connect to an external Digital recording device 2
- EARTH GROUND - For connecting the unit to an earthing terminal
1 The RADIKAL will only supply power to the URIKA II when the turntable is rotating.
2 This will provide 192k/24bit PCM stream. Note that this connection cannot be used on its own, the Urika II MUST be connected, using the Exakt-link, to a Linn DS/DSM. The Exakt-link provides power triggers and master clock operation.
EXAKT LINK Connections
Operation
Requirements for operation
- Linn Radikal: to supply power to the Urika II
- Linn DS or DSM with Exakt-link connections: to allow audio/control & configuration from the Linn DS/DSM. Speakers can be analogue connections from the Linn DS/DSM sockets or Exakt speakers from the same Exakt-link connections
Cartridge selection
A selection of MC cartridges are available preset up for the Urika II in Manage Systems, such as:-
- Linn: Akiva, Kandid, Klyde, Krystal
- Benz: Mace Ace S
- Denon: DL-103
- Dynavector: DV-20X, XV-15, XX2 Mk2
- EMT: JSD5, TSD15 SFL
- Lyra: Argo, Delos
- Sumiko: Pearwood Celebration II
- Van Den Huk: The Frog
- Audio-Technica: AT-ART1000
Note: It should be noted that information may at times be out of date and should not be used as a current list of what is supported.
Cartridges that that are not listed above can be added with with Gain, Input Resistance and Input Capacitance values. (The preset cartridge settings can be changed after cartridge selection)
ENSURE THAT
1. THE PLATTER IS ROTATING (POWERED ON USING THE RADIKAL) AND
2. THE LINN DS/DSM ARE OUT OF STANDBY BEFORE ANY CARTRIDGES ARE SELECTED OR SETTINGS MADE.
FALLBACK button
On the underside of the Urika II Trampolin base there is a small unmarked hole around the mid armboard location. This is the Fallback button.
Make sure that the Linn DS/DSM is powered on BEFORE you press the FALLBACK button.

Sample connection options
When you design an EXAKT-LINK cable run please remember that when the LP12 is OFF, (that is, the LP12 platter is NOT being driven by the Radikal), the URIKA-II is powered OFF. This will kill any EXAKT communication AFTER the URIKA-II. E.g. if you have an Exakt link from the Klimax DSM to Urika-II, then Urika-II to a Klimax 350E speaker. When the turntable is turned off, then the Klimax 350E will also turn OFF
