  • Page 7: Stands/Grilles

    GRILLES The KEILIDH grille is unusual in that it has no frame and fits directly onto the front baffle. This avoids the problems of rattling and diffraction which a frame can introduce.

    "bright". To compensate for such an environment, or for source equipment that may be similarly "bright", an ad- justment can be made to the KEILIDH to reduce the amount of treble slightly. Your Linn retailer will carry out this modification if required.

  • Page 9: Maintenance

    CONFIGURATION The Linn KEILIDHs 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.
  • Page 10 KEILIDH AKTIV crossover allows better filtering and more accurate amplitude and time response correction for the loudspeaker than is possible with a passive crossover. If you use the Linn power amplifiers, the AKTIV circuitry can be added inside the power amplifiers, giving substantial sound performance advantages.

  • Page 11: Integral/Composite Base

    NSTALLATION 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. INTEGRAL BASE If you are using the KEILIDHS with the standard base, you will need to install the spikes.

  • Page 12: Connection

    CONNECTION Connection of the loudspeaker to the amplifier should be made with good quality cable. Linn K400 series cable is ideal for bi-wiring. The leads should be terminated with the connectors supplied. These ensure optimum contact and the use of other connectors could degrade the signal.

  • Page 13: Configuration

    Refer to the pictures overleaf for the correct arrangement of linking plates for the passive configurations. The AKTIV configurations are complex and are therefore always installed by a Linn retailer. IMPORTANT Don't remove all the collars at once. Note that the lowest pair of sockets is only used in AKTIV mode.

  • Page 14: Single Wiring

    SINGLE WIRING Install a linking plate between the top two negative sockets, and between the top two positive sockets. Leave the bottom two sockets unused. BI-WIRING Remove both linking plates. Leave the bottom two sockets unused. BI-AMPING The exact method of wiring your system in this configuration depends on the pre-amplifier and amplifiers you are using.

  • Page 15: Positioning

    The distance between the speakers should be no more than the distance from the listening position to either loudspeaker. KEILIDH 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"...
