Back Panel Connections

1. MAINS INPUT - To connect to the mains electricity supply.
2. FALLBACK - To put the device into Fallback mode (used when reprogramming)
3. ETHERNET - To connect to a network.
4. ANALOGUE INPUTS (XLR, line level) - To connect sources with balanced (XLR) outputs.²
5. ANALOGUE INPUTS (RCA, phono/line level) - To connect a turntable or line level source ³ with unbalanced (RCA) outputs¹+². (Default MC phono)
6. PHONO GROUND - To connect to a turntable grounding terminal.
7. ANALOGUE OUTPUTS (XLR,variable level) - To connect to a preamplifier (or power amplifier when internal volume control is enabled) with balanced (XLR) analogue inputs.²
8. ANALOGUE OUTPUTS (RCA, variable level) - To connect to a preamplifier (or power amplifier when internal volume control is enabled) with unbalanced (RCA) analogue inputs.
9. DIGITAL INPUTS (Spdif) - To connect sources with Spdif (RCA) digital outputs.

13. HDMI INPUTS- To connect sources with HDMI outputs.
14. HDMI OUTPUT - To connect to a display device with HDMI inputs.
15. EARTH GROUND - To connect to an earthing terminal if no mains earth is available or to join to the earths of other products in the system to improve performance in areas of poor/noisy electrical earth conditions.

¹ Input 3 is a configurable input, which is factory set as a moving coil phono input for connection to turntables. This can be changed by a Linn dealer to a moving magnet phono input or a line-level input.
² Analogue inputs (including front panel AUX IN), can be pass through an Analogue volume control to the Analogue out when Delay mode set to DIRECT on these inputs.
³ This input can be adjusted for different Phono stages or Line level by reconfiguring a circuit board within the Linn DS.

Front Panel Connections

1. MUTE BUTTON - Mutes/unmutes the audio
2. VOLUME ADJUST BUTTONS - Changes the volume up/down
3. SOURCE SELECT BUTTONS - Changes to the previous/next source
4. SLEEP BUTTON - Brings the unit in/out of sleep mode
5. FRONT PANEL DISPLAY
6. HEADPHONE OUTPUT - To connect to stereo headphones with a 3.5mm input
7. AUX SOURCE INPUT - To connect to a stereo audio source with a 3.5mm output ²
8. POWER SWITCH- Switches the power on/off

Installation

Please read the following carefully before installing the unit in your system – your unit may need to be reconfigured by your Linn retailer.

• Positioning Information

Front display information

Key points

• "No Network/LAN" indicates that the Linn DS/DSM/HUB does not have a live computer network connection. This can simply be that the cable is loose or that your computer network/LAN is off/not connected.
• ! indicates that the Linn DS/DSM/HUB is expecting to see all of the pre-configured Exakt devices, (Exakt speakers, Exakrbox.., Urika-II) connected but it cannot see them. This is typically because the Exakt devices are physically disconnected from the Exakt-link network, they physically have no power going to them or the Linn DS/DSM/HUB has prevously been configured for these products but have not been removed from its setup.
