| |
| − | | |
| − | '''IMPORTANT:'''
| |
| − | The Klimax speakers are heavy; take great care when moving them. <br>
| |
| − | When unpacking, lifting or moving them, we recommend using two people to avoid personal injury.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * Do not lift your speaker using the amplifier module, this will cause damage to your loudspeaker.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Do not lay the loudspeakers on their front face or the amplifier on the rear 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Loudspeakers are packed individually with a separate package containing both speaker stands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * 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).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Stand the loudspeaker box on its base.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cut the bands holding the end caps in place
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remove the cardboard sleeve by lifting it straight up until it clears the top of the
| |
| − | cabinet
| |
| − | | |
| − | Leaving the top end cap on (to protect the loudspeaker) turn the Akubarik upside down.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remove the bottom end caps to allow the stand to be fitted, see below
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Once the stand has been fitted, carefully rotate speaker onto the stand. Lift the loudspeaker out of the top end-cap and remove its protective bag.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Leave the packaging between the amplifier module and the cabinet and the 3-K Array cover in place until the loudspeakers have been moved to their final position.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | [[Image:350_Secure_screws.png|130px|right|Image:350_Secure_screws.png]]
| |
| − | Remove the two M5x35 hex bolts with the yellow marker from the amplifier module using a 5mm Allen key.<br><br>
| |
| − | If the 350 Exakt loudspeaker is to be moved any distance or shipped then these securing bolts should be refitted to prevent damage to the internal module mounts.
| |
| − | <br><br><br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once you have positioned the loudspeakers, remove the two packaging pieces between the amplifier and the cabinet and VERY CAREFULLY snip the plastic tie holding the 3-K Array cover in place and remove it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == '''Fitting the Stand''' ==
| |
| − | <!--[[Image:Klimax 350 Stand.jpg|centre|300px]]-->
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | On a clean, level surface that will not damage the loudspeaker; carefully stand the speaker upside-down using an end-cap for stability without laying it on its front or rear face.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remove the ten bolts holding the transit plinth in place using a 2.5mm/4mm Hex key.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remove the transit plinths and retain with the packaging in case you need to transport your loudspeaker(s) in the future.
| |

| |
| − | <br><br><br>
| |
| − | Position the speaker stand above the speaker as shown above and attach using the four bolts and eight washers (large washer between stand and speaker, small washer between bolt head and stand) supplied with stand.

| − | == '''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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As the Klimax loudspeaker low frequency performance will be better if the loudspeakers are pulled out from the wall, 10-20cm from the rear wall and 30-40cm from the side walls are a good starting point, but adjustment will be required to get the best results. Additional benefit will be heard in the upper midrange and high frequencies by placing the loudspeakers away from the rear wall.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Linn 3K Array used in the Klimax 350 loudspeaker offers exceptional dispersion characteristics. This means that there should be little or no need to toe-in your loudspeakers.

| − | <br><br><br>
| |
| − | Screw the spikes into the corners of the stand.
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | Fit the lock nuts but do not tighten at this stage.

| − | [[Image:Level_350_spkrs.jpg|right|Image:Level_350_spkrs.jpg ]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | [[Image:Tighten spikes.jpg|right|300x150px|Image:Tighten spikes.jpg]]
| |
| − | Use the spirit level as before and continue to adjust the spikes as required.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
