Back panel connectors and switches

1. SPEAKER outputs
Amplified output for connection to loudspeakers.
2. GAIN adjustment
For increasing or reducing the gain. IMPORTANT - only for use when a Linn AKTIV
module is fitted to the channel. If no AKTIV module is fitted, always leave set to 3
(default gain setting).
If an AKTIV module is fitted, this adjustment can be used to finely tune the AKTIV
system to match the room acoustics.
3. AUDIO IN
For connection of the incoming audio signal.
4. AUDIO OUT
Allows the AUDIO IN signal to be relayed to another amplifier channel or another device
(e.g. subwoofer).
For balanced models, due to space restrictions on the back panel, AUDIO OUT is not
available on all channels / models.
5. POWER switch
For switching the power to the amplifier on and off. Note - this is not a standby switch
but cuts the mains supply to the unit.
6. MAINS INPUT

Mains supply
The CHAKRA amplifier must always be earthed when connected to mains power.
Use the earthed, moulded mains lead supplied. Never use an unearthed mains plug,
socket or adapter with this unit.
The mains lead supplied may be fitted with a fused plug, depending on local regulations.
If this is the case, always replace this fuse with another of the same type and rating.
Your CHAKRA amplifier can be connected to any worldwide mains voltage with no
adjustment. The CHAKRA amplifiers incorporate Automatic Voltage Selection (AVS)
and the power supply automatically adjusts for the incoming mains supply.
