Thank you for buying Lejonklou Källa!
Please read this manual carefully before using it.
Start
by connecting an Ethernet cable between the router of
your local network and Källa. Make sure
there isn't
excessive strain
on Källa's Ethernet port. It's often beneficial
to have a network switch (e.g. Netgear GS-108T) in between
the router and Källa. We recommend that the Ethernet cables
are kept as short as possible, but never shorter than 2.5 m.
Never connect Källa directly to the modem that provides you
with internet. Connect it to the router, which has a firewall
that protects Källa from being accessible from the internet.
Next
you connect the line level outputs of Källa to one of
the inputs of the pre, or integrated, amplifier in your HiFi
system. Use a good pair of unbalanced interconnects.
Make sure the RCA connectors are pushed all the way in, but
beware of using excessive force
as you might cause cracks
in the circuit board. If connectors are too tight (which is a
common problem) or too loose, the music will suffer.
If you need advice on how to adjust your connectors for
optimal pressure, please contact us, your dealer or our popular
forum on the internet! There you can also find tips on how to
further elevate the musical performance of your Källa.
Last
, connect the power cord between Källa and the same
power strip that powers your HiFi system. We strongly
recommend that you
use the supplied power cord
and don't
replace it with anything else. It's the best cord we've found.
On European models, make sure the
live
phase of your power
socket is on the same side as the
x
in the name
Volex
printed
on the pin side of the power cord plug. This will result in a
weaker electrical field around the power supply inside Källa,
which improves sound quality.
If you are using a network switch, power it from a different
strip than the one powering Källa and your HiFi system.
Now
,
switch on Källa. When it has established a connection
with your network, a short melody will play in your speakers.
Källa is now selectable from any iOS, iPadOS, macOS or tvOS
device connected to your local network (by WiFi or cable).
We highly recommend
that you set your Källa to 'Fixed IP',
as this will improve the music significantly. Please visit the
Källa page on our website for instructions on how to do this.
We hope you will enjoy listening to music with your Källa!
If you encounter any problems with it, please contact your
retailer or Lejonklou directly.
