This document provides guidance for setting up the most common Linn systems. Many other system configurations using Linn and 3rd party products are also possible.

System Setup

The Konfig application allows you to select a Linn preamp and a Linn disc player to be connected to a DS product. Make sure you have the most up to date software installed on all your Linn equipment (DS, Preamp, Disc Player and Konfig ) and follow the appropriate system instructions to help you to setup your custom system.


Klimax DS & Klimax Kontrol (& CD12)

Klimax Kontrol Setup
Klimax System
Wiring Diagram - click to enlarge
  • Enter setup by holding the standby button on the front panel for 2s (device must be in standby mode originally)
  • Ensure RS232 Connection is set to Enabled
CD12 Setup
  • Only responds to CD handset commands
  • Klimax DS should be set to respond to DVD commands only from Konfig (Advanced Configure tab)
Connection Setup
  • From Konfig, set Linn Preamp Connected to Klimax Kontrol, and set Linn Preamp Connected on Com Port to the Port number on the DS you have connected to the Rs232 IN port of the Klimax Kontrol
  • From Konfig, set Linn Disc Player Connected toCD12, and set Linn Disc Player Connected on Com Port to the Port number on the DS you have connected to the Rs232 IN port of the CD12
  • Reboot the Klimax DS once you have completed the connection setup
Source Setup
  • Select the Klimax Kontrol from Konfig and select Source Setup.
  • Select the Source (Input) you have connected the Klimax DS on and select the Klimax DS from the drop down box for Source Name.
