Installation

Important:

It is strongly recommended that your AKURATE amplifier is installed and configured by an authorised Linn retailer.

Unpacking

Each AKURATE power amplifier is supplied with the following accessories:

•mains lead

•interconnect cables - cable type will suit amplifier's input connection (balanced or phono), one cable per amplifier channel (e.g. 4-channel amplifier will receive 4 cables)

•warranty card

•this manual

Positioning

Ventilation requirements

Despite the efficiency of the design, your AKURATE amplifier still requires to dissipate considerable power in the form of heat. It should therefore be sited in a position that does not restrict the airflow around it.

For best results:

•The unit should be placed on a flat, stable and rigid surface.

•Allow at least 4" (10 cm) free space above and at each side of the unit.

•If the unit is sited in a cabinet, air must be able to flow through from front-to-back. An enclosed cabinet will severely restrict heat dissipation.

•Ensure that nothing is placed above or below the amplifier that might block or restrict the vents.

•Do not place anything directly in front of the amplifier.

AIR FLOW

If the AKURATE amplifier has inadequate ventilation and/or is played very enthusiastically for a period of time, its temperature may rise above the designated operating level and the affected channels will shut down until they have cooled sufficiently.

Other devices

Ideally, your AKURATE amplifier should not be located directly above or adjacent to other heat-producing products such as radiators, other power amplifiers etc. If multiple amplifiers are being used and space is restricted, placing them side by side is preferable to stacking.

As with all hi-fi equipment, it is advisable to site your AKURATE amplifier away from (and if possible connected to a power socket on a different circuit from) powerful electrical or electronic products such as TV sets, computers, cookers, fridges etc. This will prevent the possibility of the strong electrical and electromagnetic emissions or interference given off by such devices adversely affecting the performance of your amplifier.
