  • Page 8 CONFIGURATION The Linn KABERs are an extremely versatile loudspeaker, and can be used in a particularly wide range of configurations, each with a distinct performance advantage. This makes it easy for you to develop your system over its lifetime, without having to change any substantial component.
  • Page 9 Although the highest quality components are used in Linn loudspeakers, they have to handle extremely high power without overheating, and are less suitable for handling the fine details of music.
  • Page 10 NSTALLATION GUIDE Lift the cabinets from the carton by their sides to avoid damaging the drive units. If you can, keep the packing for possible future transportation. COMPOSITE BASE To install the composite base, lay the speakers on their back or on top of a soft surface.
  • Page 11 CONFIGURATION As previously mentioned under GENERAL INFORMATION, KABERs are supplied configured for use in TRI-WIRED mode. (see below) To convert KABERs to BI-WIRED mode remove the black-ringed (negative) input terminal collars using the key provided. Fit the two way plate supplied over the bottom two sockets and replace the terminal collars.
  • Page 12 GRILLES To fit the grille, ensure that the shiny side of the material is to the outside. Find the knotted part of the grille elastic, and locate it in the slot below the bass driver that separates the top and bottom baffles. Place the knot about a third of the way in from a corner, then pull the grille up evenly over the baffle.

  • Page 13: Connection

    CONNECTION Connection of the loudspeaker to the amplifier should be made with good quality cable. Linn K600 series cable is ideal for tri-wiring. The leads should be terminated with the connectors supplied. These ensure optimum contact and the use of other connectors could degrade the signal.

  • Page 14: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE The Linn KABERs 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.
