NTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing our Linn KABER LS500 loudspeakers, which join the family of Linn loudspeakers, and use much of Ithe technology of the KEILIDH and the KELTIK. The KABERS are the result of extensive development work and reach what we believe to be new standards of performance in loudspeakers at this price level. Remember, as no loudspeaker is capable of improving the quality of the signal it receives, the KABER should be used with good quality ancillary equipment. 4

ACTIVE/PASSIVE With a passive loudspeaker, the signal from the amplifier is divided into three frequency bands, (bass, bass/mid and treble) by a passive filter built into the loudspeaker cabinet. This is powered by the signal itself, absorbing some of the amplifier power, and preventing the amplifier from accurately controlling the loudspeaker. Although the highest quality components are used in Linn loudspeakers, they have to handle extremely high power without overheating, and are less suitab

Place the knot about a third of the way in from a corner, then pull the grille up evenly over the baffle. Then find the joint in the rubber ring and locate it in the slot below the bottom baffle, again about a third of the way in from a corner. Pull the ring up so that it l

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. All Linn cable is marked with the Linn symbol to indicate directionality. The end marked with the circular Linn symbol should point to the loudspeakers, and the other to the amplifier.

POSITIONING KABER speakers have been designed to perform best when placed close to a wall. Ideally the rear of the loudspeaker should between 4" and 12" (10 cm and 30 cm) from the wall, and at least 18" (45 cm) from any corner. The distance between the loudspeaker and your normal listening position should form part of an equilateral triangle. They also benefit from being angled inwards slightly by between 5 and 10 degrees. These are general guidelines and a little experimentation with positio
