NTRODUCTION Thank you for buying this Linn product. These Linn
speakers have been designed to give outstanding performance over an
extended lifetime.
Before purchasing any of our speakers, we expect you to have had an
opportunity to audition these speakers in a single speaker demonstration
room. It is important that you make your own decision about the performance
of our speakers with suitable ancillary equipment. We are confident that under
these conditions any of our range will easily outperform the competition.
You should only have one pair of loudspeakers in the room. Any other
transducer will unacceptably distort the sound. The speaker in your TV set or
even a telephone will have a detrimental effect on sound quality.

NSTALLATION One of the main objects of speaker installation is to
mount the speaker cabinet as rigidly as possible. All our loudspeakers
have purpose-designed stands with adjustable pointed feet, which are a
simple but effective means of preventing movement.. Kans and Saras
may be shelf-mounted.
To ensure consistency of performance, we have designed all our
loudspeakers to work best when positioned within 5 -10 cms from the wall, and
at least 45 cms from any corner, where possible.
Connection of the speaker to the amplifier should be with a good quality multi-
strand cable such as the Linn range of loudspeaker cables. The cables
should be terminated at both ends with the connectors supplied. Lesser
speaker cables will degrade the signal.

TANDS KAN/SARA. When assembling
stands, fit all the bolts loosely before final
tightening.
Ensure that the stand is level and that the
speaker rests firmly on the top.
We include small top spikes with the Kan and
Sara stands. These will bed slightly into the
base of the speaker. This ensures a firm
coupling between the speaker and the stands.
DMS/PMS. The current stand has a welded box
section. These stands feature spikes which bolt
onto the top and bottom of the stand. The top
spikes should locate into the pads on the base of
the speaker. To
fit these stands,
the speaker
should be
inverted with
care (use the
top piece of
original packing
to protect the
speaker) and
the top spikes
adjusted to give no play.
The stand should then be placed on the floor and the speaker placed on top.
The bottom spikes should now be adjusted to give the minimum amount of
movement. Once the spikes have been adjusted, then the locking nuts should
be fully tightened.
GENERAL. On wooden floors it can be useful to mount the bottom spikes onto
the heads of crosshead woodscrews. These should be fully screwed into the
floor boards, using the adjustment provided on the spike to take up any play
and ensure maximum rigidity.

AINTENANCE/SERVICE Linn speakers require no internal maintenance,
and on no account should you try to remove either the back panel or any
of the drive units.
Should any problems arise, contact the supplier prior to returning the
speakers. Always return the speakers as a pair, even if the fault only
manifests itself on one speaker.
Always use correct original packing in order to reduce the risk of transit
damage. When shipping Saras and DMS/PMS, the treble unit should be
protected from accidental damage by some adhesive tape.
If you are in any doubt as to the packaging, always consult your supplier, who
may be able to supply a replacement set if necessary.
ENERAL Care should be taken to avoid direct heat or sunlight on the
speaker cabinets. We would recommend using a standard furniture
polish to maintain the finish.
The Declon grilles on the Sara and the DMS/PMS will, over the years,
accumulate some dust, which can be removed by using the relevant vacuum
cleaner attachment. Handling of the cone of the treble unit should be avoided,
as this can result in damage to the unit.
Always ensure that the top grilles of the DMS/PMS remain in place to prevent
dust getting into the tweeter, and avoid placing heavy objects on the top of
these speakers, as pressure on the midrange and treble unit can result in
damage.
The Kan grilles are not removable. Any attempt to remove the grille is liable to
result in damage to either the grille or the cabinet.

CTIVE AND PASSIVE SPEAKERS All of our speakers are available in
active or passive versions. An active speaker is one which has no
internal crossover, each speaker being directly connected to Its own
individual power amplifier.
In this system the frequencies are separated before the signal is fed to the
power amplifier. This type of system has many advantages over a passive
system, as each amplifier has much greater control over the drive unit. This
results in a more accurate and revealing system. This type of system
therefore requires a very high quality turntable, arm and cartridge combination.
It should also be remembered that one better amplifier used in the passive
mode will outperform two or more inferior amplifiers in the active mode.
PGRADING HIERARCHY Under no circumstances can a loudspeaker
improve the signal fed into it. Therefore, when upgrading the system
you should always try to improve the quality of the signal.
Improvements to the turntable, arm, cartridge and amplifier should be made
before considering up-grading the speakers.
The final decision should be made following auditioning the proposed upgrade
against your existing system.
