Each AV 5150 loudspeaker comes in a box with the following accessories:

Phono-to-phono lead.

Mains lead.

Four spikes, nuts and washers.

Four casters.

This manual.

Linn badge.

Two fuses.

We recommend you retain the packaging in case you need to transport the loudspeakers at a later date.

P o s i t i o n i n g

The AV 5150 operates over the frequency range from 15Hz to 100Hz. In theory, because the wavelengths associated with this frequency range (20m to 3m) are so large, the positioning of the AV 5150 with respect to the other speakers in the system should not be critical. However, for the best music reproduction keep the AV 5150 within a few meters of the main system speakers. This is especially true if the AV 5150 is set to operate up to its maximum bandwidth, or if it is being used with very small main speakers.

The versatile design of the AV 5150 allows it to be used either horizontally or vertically, for floor-standing, rack, or video-wall mounting.

WARNING: The AV 5150 loudspeaker weighs 46kg (101lb). Do not attempt to lift it unaided.

Fitting the casters

The AV 5150 is supplied with casters, which you can fit to make it easier to move the loudspeaker.

Screw each caster into the recessed threaded hole in each corner of the base of the loudspeaker.

e t t i n g u p t

Fitting spikes

If you are positioning the loudspeaker on a carpeted floor we recommend you fit the spikes supplied with the loudspeaker, as these will penetrate the pile of the carpet and avoid damaging the carpet, while also giving a more stable performance.

This meticulous attention to detail is evident in the sleek finishes and elegant lines, effortlessly blending the speakers into any home decor.

Additionally, Linn's commitment to acoustic performance is reflected in their driver technology. The loudspeakers feature specially designed drive units that provide excellent transient response and low distortion. This results in clear highs, well-defined mids, and a robust low-end bass, ensuring an immersive audio experience.
