NTRODUCTION The Linn KLOUT power amplifier has many unique attributes which set new standards in both mechanical and electronic Iengineering. The KLOUT is designed to partner the Linn KAIRN pre- amplifier, from which it can be operated directly. The KLOUT is housed in a one-piece, solid extrusion, engineered to maximise strength and heat dissipation. Three pairs of speaker outlets per channel allow easy bi-wiring or tri-wiring. A screened transformer enables the KLOUT to be positioned close

INSTALLATION Unpack the KLOUT and retain the packing for future transportation. CAUTIONTake care when handling the KLOUT. It weighs 11kg and should be lifted carefully to avoid damage to yourself and the product. Do not stack a KLOUT with other products which will obstruct the airflow, or which cannot support the weight. WARNING Never attempt any home maintenance. Large capacitors, containing LETHAL voltages, remain charged for a considerable time after the KLOUT is switched off and disconnect

VENTILATION Every power amplifier requires ventilation. Position the KLOUT in such a way as to allow free movement of air around the heatsinks. Up to five KLOUTs can be stacked on top of each other without risk of overheating. We do not recommend stacking the KLOUT on any other product. The KLOUT will automatically shut down if it gets too hot. If this happens, provide more ventilation. INPUT CONNECTIONS The KLOUT has one pair of RCA phono sockets per channel labelled LINE INPUT and LINE OUTPU

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. OUTPUT CONNECTIONS Connection of the KLOUT to the loudspeakers should be made with a good quality cable. We recommend the use of Linn K series speaker cable and Linn KNEKT speaker plugs. Linn speaker cable is marked with the Linn logo to indicate directionality. The cable s

ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS To operate the KLOUT via the KAIRN, connect the KAIRN REMOTE IN socket to the KLOUT REMOTE OUT socket. Additional KLOUTs can be chained using phono-phono interconnects from the REMOTE IN socket of one KLOUT to the REMOTE OUT socket of the next KLOUT. MAINS CONNECTION WARNING The KLOUT must be switched off and disconnected from the mains before checking the fuse. The KLOUT will be fitted with the correct fuse by your dealer. Before plugging into the mains, check that the v
