ENERAL INFORMATION If you are installing your KEOSAs
yourself, follow the detailed INSTALLATION GUIDE further on in
this manual. If you have any problems, please ask your Linn retailer
G
to help. Linn retailers and their staff have been extensively trained to ensure
that they have the knowledge and expertise to get the best possible sound
from our equipment, so it makes sense for you to call on this skill whenever
you need it.
SPIKES
All loudspeakers perform best when rigidly mounted. To achieve this, the
KEOSAs include stabilising floor spikes. These also keep the weight of the
loudspeakers from compressing your carpet. The spikes penetrate between
the weaves of the carpet, which will therefore quickly recover if the
loudspeakers are moved.
CAUTION If you need to move your KEOSAs, please note that the spikes are
sharp so the loudspeakers should be handled with care.
GRILLES
The KEOSA grille is unusual in that it has no frame and fits directly onto the
front baffle. This avoids the problems of rattling and diffraction which a
frame can introduce.
To fit the grille, ensure that the shiny side of the material is to the outside.
Find the knotted part of the grille elastic, and locate it in the slot below the
bass driver about a third of the way in from a corner. Pull the grille up evenly
over the baffle. Then find the joint in the rubber ring and locate it in the same
slot about a third of the way in from the other bottom corner and fit the ring.
A plastic ruler can be used to encourage the material and the rubber ring back
into the slot.
