My Selekt DSM has a RED Linn symbol on the dial, what does this mean?
RED-LINN.jpg If you do not have a live network/LAN connection on the Selekt DSM the Linn symbol on the dial will go red.


If your network cable is plugged in and your network/LAN is alive then check that you have the network/LAN cable plugged into the LAN socket (#3 on the back panel diagram) and NOT the Exakt socket (#10 back panel diagram).


WHITE-LINN.jpg After a live network/LAN connection is made the LINN symbol on the dial will turn white after 5-10 seconds.



I get a flashing Linn icon on the volume dial, what does this mean?
Selekt-Fallback-50px.gif
This means that the Selekt DSM is in :
  • Searching for Exakt speakers after being woken from Sleep (typically only flashes for a couple of seconds after waking from Sleep)
or
  • FALLBACK mode : Fallback is a state that means that the product is waiting for a software update. To stop this flashing either:
  • Power cycle (Switch Mains Off for 10seconds and then switch mains On) and leave the Selekt DSM to startup for approximately 1min.
or
  • Use the Linn App to upload software in to the Linn Selekt DSM. Check >HERE< for more information.
What does the shimmering dial mean?
Dialpx150.gif


This is to show that the Selekt DSM is starting up after a mains power on. It will typically do this in 30–45 seconds, but if the Linn Selekt DSM is performing a software update, this may take a little longer.





What does a dim/bright dial mean?
Selekt-Dial-Mute-150px.gif



This is to show when the Selekt DSM is in Mute mode.






3. Volume level & Mute indicators
Click for more....
To show the current volume value and mute condition.
4. Software update available
Click for more....
This is your Selekt DSM telling you that a software update is available.
The update is not compulsary, just an indication that an update is available.
A Software update is performed by the Manage Systems - Software Updates, IR handset or Linn App. Instructions on how to do this update are listed HERE
5. Media information - This will show the source name/track name/Radio station that you are on.
Click for more....
Using the IR handset i button to wake up and further presses allow you to scroll throught the display available.
  • On the Playlist this is typically Artist, Album & codec information. The lower bar will show the track position information
  • On a Radio source this will show the information provided by the radio station and the codec information
......
6. Transport information
Click for more....
Shows the Play / Stop / Pause / Buffering symbols to show the current transport state.
(This is blank when a local input, such as HDMI, is selected)
if an No Network transport icon.png image appears, this indicates no network. After the network is re-established, this will go back to its last transport or blank state.

The Selekt power amplfiers have a slightly lower gain than other Linn power amplifiers, (Majik/Akurate..). If you are going to Bi-Amp a pair of speakers then we would recommend either ALL Selekt Power amplifier cartridges or ALL Selekt Line level cartridges with external amplifiers.

8 Some Electrostatic speakers may require a modification to work with Linn Selekt Class-D amplifier. Please refer to the speaker manufacturers website for information.

Selekt DSM Bi-Amp/Tri-Amp options

This is an example of a Tri-Amp PASSIVE system:
  • Each Selekt power amplifier output drive each loudspeaker crossover channel seperately. (Any shorting links/bridging strip across the loudspeaker back panel MUST be removed. Please refer to a Linn Retailer to ensure that this is done correctly)
  • If you wish to Bi-Amp you only need two Selekt power amplifier cartridges.
  • If you wish to use external amplifiers you only need one Selekt Line-Level cartridge and fed this single stereo line level feed to all external amplifier inputs.


Tri-Amp-Selekt DSM.jpg

Notes:

  • This is NOT an Exakt digital crossover. All Selekt Power Amplifier/Line-level outputs are FULL range.
  • No HDMI Switching module is required for this setup.
  • Do NOT mix Selekt power amplifier cartridges and Selekt Line-Level cartridges for Bi-Amp/Tri-Amp/Quad-Amp... system This is due to the Selekt power amplifier having a lower gain than other Linn amplifier. Therefore the feeds to loudspeaker inputs from the Selekt power amplifier and external power amplifier will be mis-matched in volume.



Selekt DSM with 5.1ch Surround integrated amplifier and an HDMI module with Linn Surround module

This is an example of use in a Surround system (check next point for more information of use):
  • All loudspeaker are driven by the Selekt power amplifier cartridges.
  • The Sub-woofer(s) are fed from the RCA output.The Linn Surround Module is fitted to the HDMI Switching module.

Selekt DSM with 5.1ch Surround with mixed cartridges and an HDMI module with Linn Surround module

  • This shows you that up to three cartridges can be fitted to a Selekt DSM.
  • These cartridges types can be mixed within the same Selekt DSM.

Click for more....
  1. COMBINED OUTPUT Cartridge (RCA & 4mm)1,2,4,5 & 6 - To connect to a Centre loudspeaker and two RCA socket to connect to Subwoofer(s)
  2. POWER AMPLIFIER OUTPUT Cartridge 1,2,4 & 6 - To connect directly to a pair of loudspeakers.
  3. ANALOGUE OUTPUT Cartridge (XLR & RCA)1,2,3 - To connect to a power amplifier.
  4. HDMI SWITCHING MODULE7-Add HDMI switching to the Selekt DSM.
  5. HDMI ARC - THIS CONNECTION IS NOT USED WHEN AN HDMI SWITCHING MODULE HAS BEEN FITTED. The HDMI ARC has been moved to the HDMI Switching module HDMI OUT socket
  6. EXAKT LINK- To connect to Exakt compatible devices (Exaktbox, Exakt Speakers, Urika II etc). This means that you not limited to only use these cartidges to output to speakers. You can also use Exakt speakers and/or Exakboxes.



Notes:
1 Each cartridge can be run with Standard or Katalyst DAC Module. (These are fitted internally to the cartridge.)
2 Each cartridge shares the same volume control. That is, change the Selekt DSM volume and all cartridges outputs change to this volume.
3 Analogue Output:

RCA - 2V rms, 300Ω
XLR - 4V rms, 600Ω

4 Power Amplifier outputs: These are CLASS-D amplifier outputs and speakers should ONLY be connected/disconnected when the product in is Sleep state or powered OFF.
5 Power Amplifier outputs: Max 100W/4Ω, 50W/8Ω per channel, Gain 20dB

The Selekt power amplfiers have a slightly lower gain than other Linn power amplifiers, (Majik/Akurate..).
  • If you are going to Bi-Amp a pair of speakers then we would recommend either ALL Selekt Power amplifier cartridges or ALL Selekt Line level cartridges with external amplifiers.
  • In Surround mode the gain offset can be adjusted on seperate channels to adjust for this offset.

6 Some Electrostatic speakers may require a modification to work with Linn Selekt Class-D amplifier. Please refer to the speaker manufacturers website for information.
7 Adding the HDMI Switching module will DISABLE the onboard HDMI-ARC socket. HDMI-ARC will now work from the HDMI Switch module HDMI OUT socket
