Installation

We recommend that your Series 5 loudspeakers are unpacked, installed and adjusted by an authorised Linn retailer. To get the best from your Series 5 loudspeakers, it is important that they are positioned and levelled correctly.


As this is an Exakt speaker the initial setup must be performed with a Local Area Network that has Internet access. Otherwise Konfig cannot set the speaker channel and Space Optimisation of these products

Unpacking

IMPORTANT: The Series-5 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 Series 5 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.




Move the (boxed) loudspeaker to an uncluttered, flat area adjacent to its eventual position (this will avoid any excessive moving and carrying of unpacked loudspeakers).

Stand the loudspeaker box on its base.

Remove the plastic clips holding the box together (four from the base and one from the sleeve).

Remove the cardboard sleeve by lifting it straight up until it clears the top of the cabinet

Place soft material on the floor to protect the loudspeaker and turn the 530 speaker upside down.

Remove the bottom end caps to allow the spikes to be fitted (see below).

Once the spikes have been fitted, carefully rotate speaker onto the stand. ALWAYS LIFT BY THE METAL BASE NOT BY THE GLASS PANEL

Finding Fabrik number

Fabrik px440.jpg

Setting up your Linn DS system in Konfig will ask for the Fabrik number of your 520/530 speaker.
This can be found on the inside of the zip of the Fabrik cover

Example: Harris Tweed - FABRIK4


The complete Linn Fabrik range is available to view on the Linn website








Repacking products

The reverse of unpacking making sure the following has been actioned:

  • Remove and pack Glass lid
  • Remove and pack Fabrik into shipping box
  • Remove and Spikes and Anti-tilt bars
  • Refit Transit screw to speaker and tighened to a maximum of 0.5Nm
  • Fit retaining band around speaker
  • Re-bag in protection bag and re-box


Due their size we advise that the 530 speakers are shipped on a pallet/skid

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.
