SYSTEM INFORMATION

  • Product Name: KLIMAX EXAKT DSM & KLIMAX EXAKT 350
  • Date of Introduction: SEPTEMBER 2013
  • Features EXAKT TECHNOLOGY



KLIMAX EXAKT DSM/1

Back Panel

Image:Klimax Exakt DSM


  1. ANALOGUE IN RIGHT, LEFT - To connect sources with phono outputs.
  2. BALANCED IN RIGHT, LEFT - To connect sources with balanced (XLR) outputs.
  3. EXAKT LINK - To connect to Exakt compatible devices (Exaktbox, Exakt Speakers, Urika II etc)
  4. SPDIF IN - To connect sources with Spdif digital outputs.
  5. ETHERNET - To connect to a network (100Base-T)
  6. TOSLINK IN- To connect sources with Toslink (optical) digital outputs.
  7. MAINS INPUT - To connect to the mains electricity supply.
  8. FALLBACK - To put the device into Fallback mode (used when reprogramming)
  9. HDMI INPUTS - To connect sources with 1.4 & 2.03 HDMI outputs.
  10. HDMI OUTPUT - To connect to a display device with 1.4 & 2.03 HDMI/HDMI ARC inputs.


3 HDMI Premium certification.pngLinn recommend using Premium High Speed Certifiied HDMI cables for an optimal experience. (supporting HDCP 2.2 up to and including 60Hz UHD.)


LED Status

Each of the Exakt Link ports have two status LED's. The function of these LED's is given below:

LED0 Link Port Disabled Link Port Enabled n/a
LED1 No Link Product Discovered Activity










KLIMAX DSM/2

Back Panel

Image:Kli DSM 1 rear.jpg


  1. MAINS INPUT - To connect to the mains electricity supply.
  2. TOSLINK IN- To connect sources with Toslink (optical) digital outputs.
  3. ETHERNET - To connect to a network (100Base-T)
  4. SPDIF IN or SPDIF OUT - Configured in Manage Systems as either an digital input or digital output. (Default: Input)
  5. EXAKT LINK - To connect to Exakt compatible devices (Exaktbox, Exakt Speakers, Urika II etc)
  6. EARTH GROUND - For connecting the unit to an earthing terminal if no mains earth is available or for joining the earths of other products in the system to improve perfromance in areas of poor/noisy electrical earth conditions.
  7. BALANCED IN RIGHT, LEFT - To connect sources with balanced (XLR) outputs. 1 2 (input transformer can be by-passed using Manage Systems)
  8. BALANCED OUT RIGHT, LEFT 2,4 - To connect to a preamplifier (or power amplifier when internal volume control is enabled) with balanced (XLR) analogue inputs.
  9. UNBALANCED OUT RIGHT, LEFT .2,5 - To connect to a preamplifier (or power amplifier when internal volume control is enabled) with unbalanced (RCA) analogue inputs
  10. HDMI OUTPUT - To connect to a display device with 1.4 & 2.03 HDMI/HDMI ARC inputs.
  11. HDMI INPUTS - To connect sources with 1.4 & 2.03 HDMI outputs.
  12. FALLBACK - To put the device into Fallback mode (used when reprogramming)



1 XLR to RCA adaptors are supplied for connecting sources with unbalanced outputs.
Input transformer can be enabled or disabled in Manage Systems setup
Note: Configuring to RCA will add a ground link to the audio tranformer causing an imbalance in the HOT and COLD XLR connections

2 Only use the XLR(8) output OR the RCA(9) output, never use both outputs as the RCA will degrade the XLR(8) output audio.

3 HDMI Premium certification.pngLinn recommend using Premium High Speed Certifiied HDMI cables for an optimal experience. (supporting HDCP 2.2 up to and including 60Hz UHD.)

4 Output voltage 4 V RMS (0 dBFS , vol. 80) - Output impedance 300 Ω
5 Output voltage 2 V RMS (0 dBFS , vol. 80) - Output impedance 300 Ω

  1. MAINS INPUT - To connect to the mains electricity supply.
  2. EXAKT LINK - To connect to Exakt compatible devices (Exaktbox, Exakt Speakers, Urika II etc)
  3. ETHERNET - To connect to a network (100Base-T)
  4. RS232 PORTS - For connection to Linn source products without ethernet ports.
  5. FALLBACK - Used when reprogramming the unit.
  6. EARTH GROUND - For connecting the unit to an earthing terminal if no mains earth is available or for joining the earths of other products in the system to improve perfromance in areas of poor/noisy electrical earth conditions.
  7. UNBALANCED OUT RIGHT, LEFT - To connect to a preamplifier (or power amplifier when internal volume control is enabled) with unbalanced (RCA) analogue inputs.
  8. BALANCED OUT RIGHT, LEFT - To connect to a preamplifier (or power amplifier when internal volume control is enabled) with balanced (XLR) analogue inputs.


EXAKT LINK connection


Image:Exakt Link.jpg


Cables

Exakt Link uses readily available network cables:

  • CAT 5/5e UTP/FTP
  • CAT 6/6a UTP/FTP

Note: There is no change in the audio performance of the Exakt Link between Cat 5 or Cat 6 Cables.

Configurations

Exakt Systems can be configured either a star from the system master or as a daisy chain configuration. Examples of each configuration is shown below.

Star Configuration


Daisy Chain Configuration


Note: There is no change in audio performance between the star configuration or the daisy chain configuration.

For more examples and information check HERE

To enable Exakt options on the Exakt DS ensure that the internal volume control is turn ON in Manage Systems.
