Template:Selekt:Single Amp, Bi-Amp and Tri-Amp
- 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;
- Each Selekt power amplifier output drives each loudspeaker crossover channel separately.
- 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 cartridge (with required DAC module) and single wired speakers
- Bi-Amp
- With two Selekt Power amplifier 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 set up each amplifier with a Left + Right channel on each Amplifier cartridge.
- 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
- Tri-Amp
- With three Selekt Power amplifier 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 set up each amplifier with a Left + Right channel on each Amplifier cartridge.
- 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
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 modules.
- That is,
- 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 integrated 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 mismatched in volume.
