1. MAINS INPUT - To connect to the mains electricity supply.
2. FALLBACK - To put the device into Fallback mode (used when reprogramming)
3. POWER SWITCH - Mains power switch
4. ETHERNET - To connect to a network (100Base-T)
5. HDMI ARC - To connect to a TV Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection
6. USB-B socket - To connect to a PC/MAC for Class 2.0 PCM Asynchronous USB Audio playback ⁹
7. DIGITAL INPUTS (Toslink)⁵ - To connect sources with Toslink (optical) digital outputs.
8. ANALOGUE INPUTS (RCAline level)^{1 & 2} - To connect sources with RCA analogue outputs.
9. DIGITAL INPUTS/OUTPUT (Spdif)⁵ - To connect sources with Spdif (RCA) digital outputs.
10. ANALOGUE INPUTS (RCA MM/MC)^{2 & 3} - To connect a turntable with unbalanced (RCA) outputs.
11. EXAKT LINK- To connect to Exakt compatible devices (Exaktbox, Exakt Speakers, Urika II)
12. PHONO GROUND - To connect to a turntable grounding terminal.
13. POWER AMPLIFIER OUTPUTS^{6 ,7 & 8} - To connect directly to a pair of loudspeakers.

Notes:
¹ Analogue inputs: Input range adjustable 1V-4V rms, 10kΩ impedance
² with ADC of 192kHz/24bit
³ RCA MM/MC:

MM input impedance 47k, 100pf

MM max voltage (1kHz): 67mV rms. (Gain +40dB)

MC input impedance 100Ω 470p

MC max voltage (1kHz): 5.5mV rms (Gain +54dB)

⁵ Digital inputs: 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz

SPDIF1 can be converted to an SPDIF output that will support up to 192KHz. This output is a fixed volume control output, that is, Volume Up/Down had no effect on this output.

⁶ 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.
⁷ 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.

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.
⁹ USB Supported Sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192
