CONFIGURATION
The Linn KABERs are an extremely versatile loudspeaker, and can be used in a particularly wide range of configurations, each with a distinct performance advantage. This makes it easy for you to develop your system over its lifetime, without having to change any substantial component. The configurations possible are:
- | SINGLE-WIRED | |
- | BI-WIRED | |
- | TRI-WIRED | |
- | BI-AMPLIFIED | |
- | TRI-AMPLIFIED | |
- | TRI-AMPLIFIED AKTIV | (dealer install only) |
KABERs are supplied configured for use in TRI-WIRED mode. The configuration can be altered by removing or inserting linking plates as appropriate on the terminal panel at the rear of the loudspeaker.
BI/TRI-WIRING
The subjective performance of a loudspeaker can be improved by having a separate cable for each crossover/driver section. This reduces inter-modulation effects and is particularly noticeable between extreme bass, where the currents are very large, and treble where the currents are very small. The KABER may be Bi or Tri-wired. In both cases the extra cost of loudspeaker cable is justified by the improved performance.
BI/TRI-AMPING
For further enhanced performance you can go one step beyond Bi/Tri-wiring and use either two amplifiers, one for bass and midrange (in which case these will benefit from Bi-wiring) and the other for treble, or three amplifiers, one for each section.
