These are examples of wiring a PASSIVE system in different Amplifier configurations:
In Linn Account Manage systems go into the GENERAL tab and open the "Network Player" page. Finally go to Change Configuration and select the STEREO PASS-THROUGH loudspeaker;

Any shorting links/bridging strip across the loudspeaker back panel MUST be removed according to the amplifier/speaker wiring. Please refer to a Linn Retailer to ensure that this is done correctly



Single Amp
With Single power amplifier cartirdge (with required DAC module) and single wired speakers

Bi-Amp
With two Selekt Power amplfier cartridges in a Bi-Amp configuration.
The speakers bridging links have to be removed to all one amplifier to directly drive the loudspeaker drive unit.
If no HDMI cartridge is fitted then the Selekt DSM will automatically setup each amplfiier with a Left + Right channel on each Amplfiier cartridge.

Tri-Amp
With three Selekt Power amplfier cartridges in a Tri-Amp configuration.
The speakers bridging links have to be removed to all one amplifier to directly drive the loudspeaker drive unit.
If no HDMI cartridge is fitted then the Selekt DSM will automatically setup each amplfiier with a Left + Right channel on each Amplfiier cartridge.

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.
  • In ALL setups, each Selekt Power Amplifier/Line-level Cartridge requires it OWN DAC module.
That is,
Two Selekt Power amplifier cartridges require TWO DAC modules,
Three Selekt Power Amplifier cartridges require THREE DAC modiles.
  • 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 intergrated power amplifier having a lower gain than any other Linn amplifier. Therefore the feeds to loudspeaker inputs from the Selekt power amplifier and external power amplifier will be mis-matched in volume.
