Kloud Konfig / Cloud Management / Manage systems

Contents

Introduction

The Linn Manage systems/Kloud Konfig, will allow you to set up and re-Konfigure your Linn DS/DSM from a webpage. This can work with the Linn Konfig app, except for Space Optimisation.

These options are only a summary of what MAY be available on your Linn DS/DSM. (Due to software improvements and hardware improvements, these may change at any time.)

Installation

Linn Account creation and adding/removing Linn DS/DSM from your account

The Linn Account Manage system requires your Linn DS/DSM to be attached to a “Linn Account”. You can do this by using the Linn App:

First log into your Linn Account, (Or create one if you do not have one).

2. In the Settings Screen, the top section will show what Linn Account you are using.


3. If you are not logged into your Linn Account, then press the Linn Icon and proceed to the Login screen.
If you do not have a Linn Account, then select the "Sign-up for a Linn Account" text.






Add or remove products from your Linn Account

1. Make sure that you are on the same ethernet network as your Linn products. (In other words, make sure that you can see your Linn Products in the Linn App)
2. Check that you are logged into your Linn Account by pressing the Linn App settings button. The top of the settings menu will tell you the Linn Account used or show a Linn Account message to log in.

3. After you check, you are logged in

3.1 Click on the Settings > Linn Account Linn icon and "Add/Remove Systems"
3.2 This will show ALL the products on your network, even ones NOT of your Linn account, as well as the products already linked to your Linn Account.
3.3 Hit the + to add the product to your Linn Account
3.4 Hit the - to remove it from the Linn Account. If you are on the same local network as the Linn DS/DSM, this will allow you to remove ANY Linn DS/DSM on this local network from ANY Linn Account


4. Complete

LA.Add.Remove.products.png
Note
Registering a product does NOT add it to your Linn Account.


Note
Products, such as the Kustom DSM Z4/Z8, will not show in Kazoo room listing as they are not initially configured. But they WILL shown in this product listing and can be added to your account.


Accessing the Linn DS/DSM in your account

After adding the Linn DS/DSM players to your Linn Account:

  1. go to www.Linn.co.uk

    2. If you have just registered and added these to your Account, it may take a couple of minutes to show you Linn DS/DSM setup. If nothing changes then try refreshing your web-browser page, (typically function key F5 or CTRL-F5 in the browser).
    3. The Space tab will not appear until you have assigned speakers to your Linn DS/DSM in the “GENERAL” tab.
  4. with the speakers setup, you will now be able to create/update/delete/rename your Space Optimisation settings created by this application.

Note: If you have any issues logging in to your Linn Account, check your web-browser doesn't have some security/privacy blockers such as "Ghostery, uBlock etc. These "security or Privacy" apps can block the communication is allowed login.

Gain (dB)1: The gain, or attenuation, for this bass crossover point.
TREBLE SHELF1 (For all passive and/or Exakt speakers/Exaktbox channels)
Frequency (Hz): The crossover frequency of the Treble shelf.
Gain (dB)1: The gain, or attenuation, for this Treble crossover point.


SUBSONIK FILTER2 (for non-Exakt systems. I.e. Passive only channels)
[[ {{{2}}} | ADD ]]: Allows you to add a subsonic filter on the channels selected.
Frequency (Hz): Define the cut-off for this filter.


RESET TO SYSTEM: Load currently applied Custom filters values for further fine adjustment.
SET ALL OFF: Disable all Custom Filters

Note

1 The Gain and frequency values can be directly entered using the keyboard by clicking on the respective number value. This allows you to finely tune the frequency and again in smaller steps than available on the sliders.
2 This is for passive/Non-Exakt outputs only.The Sub-sonic filter brings immense benefits to midrange performance and improves the overall musicality of the system. By reducing the cone movement at inaudibly low frequencies, the bass/mid-drive unit retains better linearity through the midrange. The filter cut-off should typically be set quite low; about 7-12 Hz for a large loudspeaker, and 20-30 Hz for a small stand-mount speaker.
Do not use a bass heavy track to set this subsonic filter. You may find some recordings have studio noise that adds inaudibly low frequency to the recording. E.g. Bob Dylon's - Subterranean Homesick Blues. This would be an ideal setup track to improve the musicality of the system.
