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.



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 520 speaker upside down.

Remove the bottom end caps to allow the spikes and Anti-tilt bar (520 only) 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

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.

Operation

Image:Akubarik_Exakt_OFF_V2.jpg

General

If the Exakt DSM is in Standby, the Akubarik speaker is totally shutdown. No LED's or indicators are shown




Image:AkubarikE_ON_V2.jpg

When the Exakt DSM is brought out of Standby it will send trigger voltage and wake the speaker up. The LED's beside the Mains socket/Exakt link sockets will tell you the status. After approx 6seconds the Blue LED on the top of the speaker will illuminate stating "its ready to party!"




Image:No_Power.jpg‎

If you have brought the Exakt DSM out of standby and you only get this LED then the speaker has no Mains power. Check the Mains lead is fully inserted into the speaker and the wall socket mains switch is ON.
