4 NTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing our Linn KABER LS500 loudspeakers, which join the family of Linn loudspeakers, and use much of the technology of the KEILIDH and the KEL TIK. The KABERS are the result of extensive development work and reach what we believe to be new standards of performance in loudspeakers at this price level.
5 ENERAL INFORMA TION If you have chosen to install your KABERs yourself, follow the detailed INST ALLA TION GUIDE further on in this manual. If you have any problems, please ask your Linn G retailer to help.
6 CONFIGURA TION 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.
7 ACTIVE/P ASSIVE With a passive loudspeaker , the signal from the amplifier is divided into three frequency bands, (bass, bass/mid and treble) by a passive filter built into the loudspeaker cabinet.
8 NST ALLA TION GUIDE Lift the cabinets from the carton by their sides to avoid damaging the drive units. If you can, keep the packing for possible future transportation. COMPOSITE BASE T o install the composite base, lay the speakers on their back or on top of a soft surface.
9 CONFIGURA TION As previously mentioned under GENERAL INFORMA TION, KABERs are supplied configured for use in TRI-WIRED mode. (see below) T o convert KABERs to BI-WIRED mode remove the black-ringed (negative) input terminal collars using the key provided.
10 GRILLES T o fit the grille, ensure that the shiny side of the material is to the outside. Find the knotted part of the grille elastic, and locate it in the slot below the bass driver that separates the top and bottom baffles. Place the knot about a third of the way in from a corner , then pull the grille up evenly over the baffle.
11 CONNECTION Connection of the loudspeaker to the amplifier should be made with good quality cable. Linn K600 series cable is ideal for tri-wiring. The leads should be terminated with the connectors supplied. These ensure optimum contact and the use of other connectors could degrade the signal.
12 POSITIONING KABER speakers have been designed to perform best when placed close to a wall. Ideally the rear of the loudspeaker should between 4" and 12" (10 cm and 30 cm) from the wall, and at least 18" (45 cm) from any corner .
