2.1 Unpacking
Please unpack and inspect your new amplifier for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If damage is found,
notify the transportation company immediately. Only you as the consignee may initiate a claim for shipping damage.
CODA Audio will be happy to cooperate fully as needed. Please save the shipping carton as evidence of damage for the
shipper's inspection.
Even if the amplifier has arrived in perfect condition, save all packing materials for any future transport of the unit.
When shipping the LINUS14/14D amplifier, always use the original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum
protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
NOTE: Never ship the amplifier without the original packaging materials.
2.2 The amplifier
The LINUS14/14D amplifiers offer a power output of:
- 7000 W peak per channel @ 4 Ω
- 6500 W peak per channel @ 2.7 Ω
- 5200 W peak per channel @ 2 Ω.
For a complete overview of rated power data please refer to Chapter 5 `SPECIFICATION´.
The LINUS14/14D power amplifier is fitted with a dual voltage Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) with automatic
voltage range selection for 115 V/230 V operation, which significantly reduces the weight and size (only 2U) of the
amplifier. Using SMPS, the seamlessly regulated symmetrical supply voltages of the power amplifier are more stable and
efficient than the power supplies used in conventional amplifiers.
The LINUS14/14D uses microprocessors for controlling and motoring the power amp. This has four main advantages over
more traditional power amp systems:
1. Integrated remote control
2. Extreme fast and accurate motoring of all amplifier parameters
3. Very fast triggering of protection features
4. Fast detection of failures.
The LINUS14/14D has been designed as an intelligent and powerful amplifier for performing specialised tasks within a
complex audio system. Users can adapt the power amp to meet their specific audio requirements before use. The display
mounted on the front of the LINUS14/14D amplifier allow the different functions to be accessed. Since there are a lot of
parameters available, it is important that users should familiarise themselves thoroughly with the entire range of settings
and programmable features before using the power amp. If you have any questions regarding features and/or functions
of your LINUS14/14D amplifier, CODA Audio will be pleased to provide you with further information. Alternatively, contact
your dealer or distributor.
