Using the AV 5140 loudspeakers with a centre loudspeaker

If you are using the AV 5140 loudspeakers in an AV system, and you have a centre loudspeaker, they will benefit from being placed further apart. The centre loudspeaker should be slightly closer to the rear wall than the AV 5140 loudspeakers, so that the distance from the listener to each the loudspeaker is the same.

Positioning the AV 5140 loudspeakers near a television

The AV 5140 loudspeakers are fully screened and can therefore be placed as close as 50mm (2") to a television without causing interference to the television picture.

Fitting the stands

The AV 5140 loudspeakers are supplied with bases, and for stability we recommend you fit these to the loudspeakers.

Screw each stand onto the loudspeaker using the four cap screws and washers provided.

Adjusting the feet

The AV 5140 loudspeakers are supplied with adjustable spiked feet. To achieve the full performance from your loudspeakers you should adjust the spikes so that the loudspeakers are completely stable, with all feet in contact with the floor.

The standard spikes, which have been designed for use with carpeted floors, penetrate through the weave of the carpet without flattening the pile.

If you have wooden or solid floors you should use the spikes in conjunction with Linn SKEETS, to provide a firm base and protect the floor from scratches. These are available from your Linn dealer.

To adjust the feet loosen the locking nut using the spanner provided, move the spike by screwing or unscrewing it, and then lightly tighten the locking nut.
