  • Page 2: Important Safety Information

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Explanation of symbols used in this manual and on the product : This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltages within the enclosure of sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important maintenance and servicing information in the instruction and service manuals.
  • Page 3 In addition to any statutory rights the customer may have we undertake to replace any parts which have failed due to faulty manufacture. To help us please ask your Linn retailer about the Linn warranty scheme in operation in your country.
  • Page 4 The addition of any Linn component will improve the sound quality of your system. Linn has a policy of continuously improving its equipment allowing customers to retro-fit most product upgrades.
  • Page 5 NTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing our Linn KEOSA loudspeakers, which join the family of Linn loudspeakers, and use much of the technology of the KEILIDH. As you may have noticed from the weight of the KEOSAs, they are most solidly built. The cabinet is braced over its entire height and contains fibre sound absorbent.

  • Page 6: Eneral Information

    GRILLES The KEOSA 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.

  • Page 7: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE The Linn KEOSAs normally need no maintenance, other than occasionally polishing the cabinet with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Take care not to touch the drive units behind the grille cloth. If you have to transport your speakers, remove the spikes and use the original packing.
  • Page 8 BI-WIRING The Linn KEOSAs are able to be single wired, bi-wired, or bi-amped. In the SINGLE-WIRED configuration, a single amplifier drives each loudspeaker through a single loudspeaker cable. The KEOSAs are delivered configured for this method of operation. BI-WIRING improves the performance of a loudspeaker. A single amplifier is still used, but this drives each loudspeaker through two loudspeaker cables, one for the bass/midrange section, and one for the treble section.
  • Page 9 NSTALLATION GUIDE Lift the cabinets from the carton by their sides to avoid damaging drive units. If you can, keep the packing for possible future transportation. SPIKES To fit the spikes to your KEOSAs, lay the loudspeakers on their backs or tops on a soft surface.
  • Page 10 Connection of the loudspeaker to the amplifier should be made with good quality cable. Linn cable is ideal. All Linn cable is marked with the Linn symbol to indicate directionality. The end marked with the circular Linn symbol should point to the loudspeakers, and the other to the amplifier.
  • Page 11 CONFIGURATION KEOSAs are supplied configured for use in SINGLE WIRED mode. The configuration can be altered by removing the linking plates on the terminal panel at the rear of the loudspeaker. To remove the linking plates, un-screw the four terminal collars and remove the two linking plates.

  • Page 12: Single Wiring

    SINGLE WIRING With both linking plates in place, connect the wiring to either pair of sockets. To ensure good connections and performance, check all four collars are tight! BI-WIRING Connect wiring to treble (top) and bass (bottom) sockets. To ensure good connections and performance, check all four collars are tight! BI-AMPING The exact method of wiring your system in this configuration depends on the pre-amplifier and amplifiers you are using.
  • Page 13 The distance between the speakers should be no more than the distance from the listening position to either loudspeaker. KEOSA 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"...
