A terminal key, for removing the loudspeaker terminals. Four tri-wire links (AV 5140) and two bi-wire links (AV 5120).

This manual.

In addition, each AV 5140 loudspeaker is supplied with:

A stand, which can be attached to the loudspeaker.

Eight cap screws and washers, to attach the stand.

A full-length grille, which can be attached to the front of the loudspeaker, is available as an optional extra (Linn part numbers: 5140 GRILLE and 5120 GRILLE).

We recommend you retain the packaging in case you need to transport the loudspeakers at a later date.

Positioning AV 5140 loudspeakers

Positioning the AV 5140 loudspeakers near a rear wall

The rear-facing bass unit allows the AV 5140 loudspeakers to be positioned much closer to a wall, or to the corner of a room, than conventional loudspeakers, without degrading the bass performance. Because bass frequencies are not directional, the rear-facing bass unit sounds as immediate and direct as the front-facing bass unit in most conventional loudspeakers, and it is hard to believe that the sound is not coming from the front of the loudspeaker.

They will produce good bass performance even when positioned as close as 150mm (6") from a rear wall. If positioned in a corner they should be at least 150mm (6") from each wall:

The spacing between the AV 5140 loudspeakers should be about two thirds of the width of the room, and this should be about the same as the distance from your listening position to each speaker. They will also benefit from being angled in slightly towards the listener.
