The KLIMAX AKTIV crossover Casework Each of the two parts making up the KLIMAX AKTIV casework is machined from a solid ingot of aluminium and then hard anodised. As undeniably beautiful as this is, the aesthetic charm of the casework is considered by Linn designers to be very much secondary to its main function, which is to isolate its circuitry from the outside world. -

Page 16: Connecting
Connecting Important notes Before making any connections, ensure that all products in your system, including the KLIMAX AKTIV, are disconnected from the mains supply. When using Linn interconnect cables, please note that the cables are directional. For best performance, the direction arrow on all cables should point (electrically, rather than physically) towards the loudspeaker. -

Wrong connection could result in damage to loudspeaker drive units. The KLIMAX AKTIV crossover should only be used with a loudspeaker that has been manufactured or upgraded to AKTIV specification. Using an AKTIV crossover with a passive loudspeaker will result in poor performance and could also damage the amplifiers and loudspeakers. -
Page 19: Fine-Tuning
Installation (continued) Fine-tuning Once your KLIMAX AKTIV crossover is installed, some tuning of the sound may benefit the performance. Firstly, ensure that your loudspeakers are correctly installed, positioned, levelled and connected.
