Installation
Important:
It is strongly recommended that your AKURATE amplifier is installed
and configured by an authorised Linn retailer.
Unpacking
Each AKURATE power amplifier is supplied with the following
accessories:
• mains lead
• interconnect cables - cable type will suit amplifier's input
connection (balanced or phono), one cable per amplifier channel
(e.g. 4-channel amplifier will receive 4 cables)
• warranty card
• this manual
Positioning
Ventilation requirements
Despite the efficiency of the design, your AKURATE amplifier still
requires to dissipate considerable power in the form of heat. It should
therefore be sited in a position that does not restrict the airflow
around it.
For best results:
The unit should be placed on a flat, stable and rigid surface.
Allow at least 4" (10 cm) free space above and at each side of
the unit.
• If the unit is sited in a cabinet, air must be able to flow through
from front-to-back. An enclosed cabinet will severely restrict
heat dissipation.
• Ensure that nothing is placed above or below the amplifier that
might block or restrict the vents.
• Do not place anything directly in front of the amplifier.
If the AKURATE amplifier has inadequate ventilation and/or is played
very enthusiastically for a period of time, its temperature may rise
above the designated operating level and the affected channels will
shut down until they have cooled sufficiently.
Other devices
Ideally, your AKURATE amplifier should not be located directly above
or adjacent to other heat-producing products such as radiators, other
power amplifiers etc. If multiple amplifiers are being used and space is
restricted, placing them side by side is preferable to stacking.
As with all hi-fi equipment, it is advisable to site your AKURATE
amplifier away from (and if possible connected to a power socket on a
different circuit from) powerful electrical or electronic products such as
TV sets, computers, cookers, fridges etc. This will prevent the
possibility of the strong electrical and electromagnetic emissions or
interference given off by such devices adversely affecting the
performance of your amplifier.
