Linn Kolektor Connecting a phono source, Connecting a tape recorder, Connecting headphones

We recommend using high-quality leads such as Linn Interconnect cables. These are directional and should be connected so that the arrow points from the source component towards the KOLEKTOR.

Connecting a phono source

Instead of using input 1 for a line-level source, you can configure the KOLEKTOR so that this input is suitable for the much lower level output provided by a moving magnet phono cartridge. For information about configuring this input see the section Configuring the inputs, page 19.

Connecting a tape recorder

To make recordings in conjunction with the KOLEKTOR connect the TAPE OUT sockets to the line inputs of the tape deck. Connect the line outputs from the tape deck to any pair of input sockets on the KOLEKTOR (input 3 is initially configured as TAPE) for playback.

Connecting to a power amplifier

To connect the KOLEKTOR to a power amplifier connect one pair of the line outputs from the KOLEKTOR to the line inputs of the power amplifier. The KOLEKTOR provides three sets of outputs to allow you to use multiple power amplifiers in conjunction with multi-amplifier or active speakers. The KOLEKTOR is ideal for use with any of the Linn high performance power amplifiers including the LK85, LK140, LK240, or KLOUT.

Connecting headphones

You can connect a pair of headphones to the headphone socket on the front panel of the KOLEKTOR, which is fed from a dedicated internal headphone amplifier. Switch your power amplifier off to mute your loudspeakers.
