Linn LK 100, Owner'S Manual

5

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 input connections, ensure that the left channel plug from the source is connected to the left
channel socket on the pre-amplifier, and the right channel plug to the right channel socket on the pre-
amplifier.

There are two sets of RCA phono sockets on the rear of the LKIOO, labelled 

LINE INPUT

 and 

LINE

OUTPUT.

 These phono sockets enable the signal to be chained from one 1K100 to another in multi-

amplifier applications.

In a system with a single power amplifier the signal from your pre-amplifier should be routed to the 

LINE

INPUT

 sockets of the LKI 00.  The 

LINE OUTPUT

 sockets will remain unused.

If you have speakers that allow passive  bi-amplification or tri-amplification (or if you are using multiple
LK100s to drive several sets of speakers), the signal from the pre-amplifier is routed to the 

LINE INPUT

sockets of the first LK100.  The signal is then chained to the second LK100 by connecting an RCA phono
interconnect cable from the 

LINE OUTPUT

 of the first LK100 to the 

LINE INPUT

 sockets of the second

1K100.  This connection procedure is repeated for each LK1OO in the chain.

CAUTION When passively bi-amping or tri-amping loudspeakers remove any connecting links that are at
the speaker input terminals.  Failure to do this will short the amplifier outputs together and may damage
the power amplifier.
