Positioning and levelling
To get the best from your Linn Majik 140 loudspeakers, it is important that they are
positioned and levelled correctly. The acoustics of a room are dependent on many
factors, including volume, shape and even furniture. The information below will
assist in helping you find the best position in your room for your loudspeakers and
will tell you how to level them correctly.
Positioning
It pays dividends to experiment with loudspeaker positioning. However, the very
nature of the 2K super-tweeter and tweeter array and its close driver proximity,
ensures uniform dispersion characteristics and therefore the loudspeakers should
not require any significant degree of toeing-in to improve performance.
Bass reduction
A loudspeaker placed too close to a wall will tend to over-emphasise bass
definition, so a minimum of 9” (23 cm) is recommended between the back of
a Majik 140 and the closest wall. If space is an issue, foam bungs are provided
for insertion into the loudspeaker’s rear reflex ports to seal the cabinet, which will
result in reduced bass.
An alternative method for reducing bass output is to make an internal modification
to the loudspeaker which will drop the bass by 2 dB. This modification can be
carried out by your Linn retailer.
