Unpacking

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

Please note, in order to achieve the very best from your Akubarik, some adjustment may be required after positioning, levelling and connecting. See the Fine adjustment section.

Operation

Fine Adjustments

Once your Akubariks are correctly positioned, levelled and connected, some tuning of the sound may benefit the performance. The acoustics of a room are dependent on many factors including size, shape, contents and textures. The information below will assist in helping you to achieve optimum sound from your loudspeakers in any setting.

The Akubariks are provided with two adjustment switches on the back panel. The factory settings will provide the best performance in the majority of room settings, however if a room's acoustics are found to be a little bright or perhaps a bit bass-heavy, these switches allow certain parameters to be fine-tuned, in order to allow the loudspeaker performance to match the room acoustics more closely.
