There are differences in the method of performing loudspeaker calibration on a standard
EXOTIK and an EXOTIK+DA:
Standard EXOTIK
You will need a test disc that contains a tone signal for each loudspeaker in your system.
Your specialist Linn retailer may be able to supply you with a suitable disc.

Add a Linn UNIDISK player (or other multi-channel disc playing source) to the
EXOTIK by following the source setup instructions in the next section.
Exit setup and change source to the UNIDISK/multi-channel disc playing source.
Re-enter setup and return to the SPEAKER CALIBRATION sub-menu.
Play the tracks on the test disc for speaker calibration while selecting the
appropriate loudspeakers from the EXOTIK’s menu.
If the tone signal coming from a particular loudspeaker is louder or quieter
than from the other loudspeakers, use the

trim the volume as required.
