A good hi-fi works well enough to deliver these benefits. It also helps you appreciate music you never thought you would. At Linn we devote our energy to improving standards of music reproduction, because we know that the better the sound the more you'll enjoy music at home.

Your hi-fi system performs at its best when used with the highest quality source. The better the sound from your turntable, tuner or CD player the better the sound you will hear from your KELTIK AKTIV playback system.

CAUTION Take extreme care when handling the Keltik speakers – they each weigh 51KG. Your Linn Dealer is responsible for ensuring correct installation of the KABER AKTIV system. He is best placed to provide information, address your queries and resolve any problems. If this is not possible, please contact the Linn Products factory in Scotland, or your national distributor.
The KELTIK AKTIV crossover may be positioned by the pre-amplifier or near (but not on top of) the power amplifiers. The Kairn, LK1 and the KELTIK AKTIV can drive up to 20 metres of Linn interconnect cable, so that the power amplifiers and crossovers may be sited near the loudspeakers if desired.
It is generally easier to see the backs of the loudspeakers to check the installation. The leads provided allow for the KELTIK AKTIV to be sited a short distance from the pre-amplifier and power amplifiers, if this does not suit your installation, your dealer can supply the necessary length of cable.

LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS The KELTIK AKTIV system is pre-set at the factory for an accurate on-axis frequency response and this will suit most environments. However, the bass and/or treble may require adjustment to suit some rooms. A resistor pack is provided with the product to allow the dealer to carry out any necessary adjustments at installation.
LOUDSPEAKERS Loudspeakers should be positioned correctly. They should be mounted on rigid stands and not subject to any rocking movement. All Linn speakers except NEXUS and HELIX are designed to be placed very close to the wall. CLEAN CONTACTS lt is important that the electrical contacts in a hi-fi system are kept mechanically sound and clean.
Replace the fuse-holder, with the arrow pointing right, and snap the door shut If the new fuse blows, there may be a fault and the complete unit should be returned to your Linn dealer.
In the UK and other markets, extended warranty is offered to customers who register their purchase with Linn. A registration card can be obtained from your retailer and should be stamped by him. This will also enable you to receive the Linn RECORD Newsletter and details of music available from Linn.
