2NTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing our Linn INDEX LS120 Loudspeakers, the result ofextensive design and development work. The INDEX set new standards of performance in loudspeakers of this type. Remember, no loudspeaker is capable of improving the quality of the input signal, so the INDEX should be used with good quality ancillary equipment. INSTALLATION When removing the loudspeakers from their boxes, lift the cabinets out by their sides.This will avoid possible damage to the grilles and their drive units. Please retain all packing for possible future transportation.I

3 All loudspeakers perform best when rigidly mounted. To achieve this, Linn have designed a stand for the INDEX, which includes stabilising floor spikes. These stands give optimum sound quality and ensure that the drive units are correctly positioned for the listener. Connection of the loudspeakers to the amplifier should be made with a good quality cable. Linn K20 loudspeaker cable is ideal. The leads should be terminated with the connectors supplied to ensure optimum performance. The use of other connectors will degrade the sound quality of your system. The cable is marked with the Linn symbol to indicate directionality. The bare wires shown should he connected to the amplifier and the end marked with the circular logo should be connected to the loudspeakers. < LOUDSPEAKERSAMPLIFIER > Take care to ensure that the wiring is correct. The red socket is positive and the black is negative. The positive wire (red connector) is identified by a rib along the side of the cable. INDEX speakers are designed to perform best when placed close to a wall. Ideally the rear of the loudspeaker should be between 4" and 17" (10 and 30cm) from the wall and at least 18" (45cm) from any corner. INDEX can also benefit from being angled inward slightly by 5 to 10 degrees.STANDSCONNECTIONSPOSITIONING
