Linn Sondek CD12, Manual

Page: 7 / 70

The CD12 includes extensive use of advanced digital circuit techniques to ensure
that the critical timing necessary for high-quality music reproduction is maintained.
The CD12 replay chain is completed with a very carefully implemented analogue audio
stage to ensure faithful reproduction of the high dynamic range available from CD.
Touch control
To keep the appearance of the CD12 as elegant as possible the front panel controls
have been eliminated. All the most important operations of inserting, playing, and
stopping a disc are performed simply by gently pressing on the disc drawer.
If you prefer to select tracks individually from a CD, or program a specific selection,
the Linn Hi-Fi Personal Handset supplied with the Sondek CD12 provides a flexible
range of additional options.
Once you have programmed a personal selection of tracks on a particular CD, the
Linn Sondek CD12 will recognise the disc when it is inserted at a later time, and play
your original selection. The Sondek CD12 can remember information for up to 50 CDs
in this way, allowing you to personalise your music collection in a way that was not
previously possible.
Digital output
The Linn Sondek CD12 provides a digital output on the back panel. By default this is
switched off, but it can be switched on if required by pressing and holding the 0
number key. The DIGITAL indicator on the front panel is lit when the output is on.
