GENERAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION

KARIK AND NUMERIK The KARIK and NUMERIK should be positioned on a level surface. Extensive internal screening in the KAIRN preamp, KREMLIN tuner, KARIK and NUMERIK facilitates stacking the products one on top of the other without interference, if desired.

POWER SUPPLIES Take care not to position too close to signal leads, turntables or pre-amplifier.

AMPLIFIERS Pre and power amplifiers may hum if positioned too close together. For minimum hum experiment by moving the components with the system at full volume but not playing music (although it is best to turn the volume down whilst actually moving the components).

LOUDSPEAKERS Loudspeakers should be positioned correctly. They should be mounted on rigid stands, and not subject to any rocking movement.

CLEAN CONTACTS It is important that the electrical contacts in a hi-fi system are kept mechanically sound and clean. Occasionally unplugging and replugging all the connectors will effectively clean contacts.

WARNING This should be carried out after the mains supply has been switched off.

INTERCONNECT LEADS Correct cables should be used. We recommend good quality copper cable for interconnect leads and advise 4mm2 multicore copper cable, such as Linn K20, for speaker leads.

Your Linn dealer can supply high quality interconnects for linking all your hi-fi components.
