Linn DSM Sources Configuration

DS Volume control

There are two way to control the Volume on a Linn DS system:

• Internal Volume control that will directly control the analogue audio level coming out of the Linn DS. This is good for directly connecting to a Power amplifier on your speakers.

• Or use an external preamplifier, this means that the Linn DS will always output Line-level audio.

If you have a Linn Pre-amplifier this can be set to be controlled by the Kinsky control software. Information for wiring and setup of these Linn PreAmplifiers can be found {http://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Systems Here]

If you have the new version of the Linn Akurate Kontrol

Delay Mode

There are 3 different delays modes with the Linn DSI/DSM

Direct - This will feed the audio in real-time to the local Linn DSI/DSM, but the audio fed to the other Linn DS products will be delayed by 100mS. If this is setup and the other Linn DS products are fairly close, the music will sound like an echo

Fixed - This will delay the audio to ALL Linn DS/DSI/DSM products to keep the audio in perfect sync. This common delay is 100mS

Variable - This is a lipsync delay. This will delay the audio to ALL Linn DS/DSI/DSM products to keep the audio in perfect sync, but the delay time is variable from from 100mS-2S either from the Konfig app or the IR handset.
