Connecting the mains supply

Connect the mains supply to the loudspeaker using the mains lead provided.

When you first apply power to the AV 5150 it switches on, as shown by a green indicator on the front panel.

After ten minutes of inactivity the AV 5150 automatically switches to standby, and the indicator changes to red.

The AV 5150 automatically switches on from standby when it senses a signal on the input.

Connecting the AV 5150 to a stereo preamplifier

Connect the left and right inputs of the AV 5150 to the left and right line outputs of the preamplifier, which already feed the main system power amplifier. The left and right signals are added inside the AV 5150 without affecting the left and right signals to the main system power amplifier.

Connecting to the AV 5103 System Controller

Connect the AV 5150 phono socket marked RIGHT INPUT to the SUB output on the AV 5103, using the phono lead provided.

Using more than one AV 5150

To use more than one AV 5150 in a system connect the DAISY OUTPUT from the first AV 5150 to the DAISY INPUT on the next AV 5150, using a phono lead. This takes the filtered output from the first loudspeaker to the direct input of the next loudspeaker, without further filtering. The soft clipper and phase response can be adjusted independently on each loudspeaker; see Protecting the Speaker, page 29, and Inverting the phase response, page 29.

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.

When it comes to connectivity, Linn AV Loudspeakers are versatile, supporting various input options to accommodate modern audio sources. Many models are equipped with wireless streaming capabilities, allowing for easy integration with contemporary streaming services and smart devices.
