Configurable source names

To give you total flexibility about the way you connect sources to the KOLEKTOR Preamplifier you can configure each input with a name to identify the source that you have connected to it. This also determines the handset key used to select the source. You can also omit inputs, so that they are not selected when you cycle through the sources.

Recording lock

When making tape recordings from the Linn KOLEKTOR you can lock the source you are recording to make sure that you cannot disturb the recording by accidentally selecting another source.

User options

The KOLEKTOR Preamplifier includes 12 user options to allow you to customise the way the KOLEKTOR works to suit your own preferences. For example, you can control what happens when you switch the KOLEKTOR on, how the display operates, and how the volume control behaves.

Intelligent operation with other Linn products

If you use the Linn KOLEKTOR with other Linn products, such as a Linn CD player or tuner, the KOLEKTOR can automatically select the appropriate input when you operate the handset controls for that source. This ensures that your hi-fi system is as intuitive as possible to use, and requires the minimum number of key presses to achieve what you want.

Optional computer control

The KOLEKTOR Preamplifier can be fitted with an optional RS232 interface to allow it to be controlled from a PC. For more information about the PC interface, and details of the upgrade, please contact your Linn dealer.
