Installation
We recommend that your 360loudspeakers are unpacked, installed and adjusted by an authorised Linn retailer. To get the best from your 360 loudspeakers, it is important that they are positioned and levelled correctly.
Please note, in order to achieve the very best from your 360's, some adjustment may be required after positioning, levelling and connecting. See the Fine adjustment section.
Unpacking
IMPORTANT:
The 360 speakers are heavy; take great care when moving them.
When unpacking, lifting or moving them, we recommend using two people to avoid personal injury.
- Do not lift your speaker using the amplifier module, this will cause damage to your loudspeaker.
- Do not lay the loudspeakers on their front face or the amplifier on the rear as this will damage the loudspeaker.
- We recommend that you retain the packaging in case you need to transport your loudspeaker(s) at a later date.
- Loudspeakers are packed individually with a separate package containing both speaker stands.
- Take care when unpacking to avoid damage to the cabinets.
A video of how to unpack and fit stands can be found below:
Fitting the Stand
On a clean, level surface that will not damage the loudspeaker; carefully stand the speaker upside-down using an end-cap for stability without laying it on its front or rear face.
Remove the ten bolts holding the transit plinth in place using a 2.5mm/4mm Hex key.
Remove the transit plinths and retain with the packaging in case you need to transport your loudspeaker(s) in the future.
Position the speaker stand above the speaker as shown above and attach using the four bolts and eight washers (large washer between stand and speaker, small washer between bolt head and stand) supplied with stand.
IMPORTANT:
Take care not to over tighten the bolts.
Positioning
As with any stereo loudspeaker there are some fundamental principles which should be observed to get the best sound from your loudspeakers.
- The loudspeakers should be place at an equal distance from the wall behind the loudspeakers.
- The speakers should be a similar (not the same) distance from the walls to the outside of each loudspeaker.
- Any toe-in applied should be the same for each loudspeaker.
- The loudspeakers should be level with all four spikes in contact with the floor. Use Linn Skeets for hard floors.
For further assistance, try our customer support pages.
Levelling
Screw the spikes into the corners of the stand.
Fit the lock nuts but do not tighten at this stage.
Very carefully (do not scratch the cabinet), use a spirit level to check if it is sitting
level. If it is, gently rock the loudspeaker from front to back, side to side and
diagonally to check for any movement. If none is present and the loudspeaker is
sitting level, no adjustment to the spikes is necessary.
If the loudspeaker is not level, or moves when you rock it, loosen the appropriate lock nuts using the tool provided and use a screwdriver to turn the spikes to adjust their height. Adjust the spikes to level the speaker, using a spirit level placed on the stand.
Press down firmly on the top of the loudspeaker to ensure it is in close contact with your flooring.
Use the spirit level as before and continue to adjust the spikes as required.
Once the speaker is level and does not rock, use the screwdriver to hold the spike in place and fit and tighten the lock nuts with the spanner provided.
Note: To protect wooden or tiled floors, the spikes can be placed on Linn Skeets which are available from your Linn retailer.
