Tape deck 2 should be connected to the TAPE 2 sockets in the same way. OUTPUT CONNECTIONS The KAIRN has three identical stereo line outputs to enable the connection of up to three power amplifiers in your hi-fi system thereby avoiding the need for adapter cables. - Page 11 LISTEN Ph1 and LISTEN Ph2 settings on the pre-amplifier are relevant to the matrix output. Always use a line output from the KAIRN direct to the power amplifier for the primary system in your home. Additional systems may be connected through the matrix output.

Page 12: Operation
Two small dashes will appear on the display which will then revert to the setting in which the pre-amplifier was last used. The KAIRN will then unmute and operate at the last used volume level. Full performance will be achieved within minutes. - Page 13 Linn Mimik CD player. If either of the Kairn phono inputs has been disabled by the user function 6 (U6 - 1 or 2), the other phono input can be selected by pressing either of PH1 or PH2 on the Kairn remote con- trol handset.
- Page 14 MONO To select mono operation (ie combine left and right channels) press the MONO button. The display shows the legend MONO. To return to stereo operation, press the button again. The MONO legend is then extinguished. MONO NOTE A mono/stereo setting is provided for each input. When a new source is selected, the mono/stereo state will be the last set for the source.

The KAIRN pre-amplifier can be set to adjust the volume setting automatically to keep the listening level constant when switching between sources. This can be done... - Page 16 U10 0 disables the control of the Kairn by a Linn multi-room system. U10 1 allow the Kairn to be used in the main room of a Linn multi-room system. U11 0 allows the AUX/AUX1 input to be used as a general purpose line-level input.
- Page 17 When option 2 is selected, the listen source and volume setting at that instant are memorised. These settings are then used each time the Kairn is switched on. This option could be used, for example, to select the ‘tun’ source at volume level 60 at switch-on irrespective of the settings used last time.
