Input Connections - Linn Powertek Owner's Manual

INPUT CONNECTIONS

WARNING - The pre-amplifier and the power amplifier must be switched off before connecting or
disconnecting any of the plugs on the rear panel.
For all the following input connections ensure that the left channel plug from the source is connected to
the left channel socket on the pre-amplifier, and likewise for the right channel connection.
Two sets of RCA phono sockets are provided on the rear of the POWERTEK. These are labelled
LINE INPUT and LINE OUTPUT and allow chaining the signal from one Powertek to another in multi-
amplifier applications.
In conventional use (in a system with a single power amplifier), the signal from your preamplifier should
be routed to the LINE INPUT sockets of the POWERTEK. The LINE OUTPUT sockets will remain
unused.
If you have speakers that allow passive bi-amplification or tri-amplification (or you are using multiple
POWERTEKS to drive several sets of speakers), the signal from the preamp is routed to the LINE
INPUT sockets of the first POWERTEK. The signal is then chained to the second POWERTEK by
connecting an RCA phono interconnect cable from the LINE OUTPUT of the first POWERTEK to the LINE
INPUT sockets of the second POWERTEK. This connection procedure is repeated for each
POWERTEK in the chain.
When bi-amplifying with an INTEK integrated amplifier, route the signal from the INTEK PRE-OUT,
POWER-IN sockets to the LINE INPUTS of the POWERTEK.
