NUMERIK INPUT CONNECTIONS The NUMERIK has two S/P-DIF inputs, both on BNC connectors. CHANNEL 1 is intended for use with the Linn KARIK CD transport. CHANNEL 2 is provided for connection to any other high quality digital audio source.

NUMERIK OUTPUT CONNECTIONS Two stereo AUDIO OUTPUTS are provided for connection to your pre-amplifier, and direct connection to another system such as a multi-room application.

A SYNC OUTPUT is provided for each digital input. This should be connected to the corresponding SYNC INPUT on the Linn KARIK CD transport to facilitate Master Mode operation which eliminates data - related clock jitter.

INDICATOR LIGHTS These are located on the rear panel and are there to assist when setting up the NUMERIK.

When a particular input channel is selected the corresponding input channel indicator is lit.

When Master Mode is in operation, the indicator labelled MASTER is lit.

When the NUMERIK is correctly synchronised to an input signal, the indicator labelled LOCK is lit. When this light is off or flashing, the NUMERIK cannot synchronise to the input signal. This may be due to incorrect connections. Check all the leads are plugged into their correct sockets. If LOCK is still not achieved, there is a more fundamental problem, therefore please contact your Linn dealer.

When the sample rate is 44.1 kHz , the light labelled 44.1 kHz is lit. When the sample rate is 48 kHz , this light is off.
