Your Linn KOLEKTOR
As the name implies we intended the KOLEKTOR to gather
together the signals from the ever increasing number of
sound sources, and control them with high quality,
direct signal handling and a simple, flexible
control system.
There are two main modules in the
KOLEKTOR, audio and control. In addition an
optional RS232 (computer) interface module
is available.
Audio module
The audio module carries the input and output sockets, the audio
circuitry, and the power supplies. In all our products we make the
audio path as short, simple, and direct as possible. A smaller circuit
works better and picks up less noise. The KOLEKTOR audio path
contains high-precision solid-state switches and an electronic gain
control. The amplification uses low-noise, low-distortion precision
operational amplifiers. All the components are surface mounted,
keeping the signal path as short as possible and minimising the
number of contacts.
A separate headphone amplifier drives high-quality headphones
with no compromises to the main audio path.
The precision-equalised, low-noise phono stage is fully integrated
and electronically switched, avoiding any mechanical connections
in the sensitive phono signal path.

Troubleshooting and
maintenance
Troubleshooting
Occasionally you may find that your KOLEKTOR fails to respond in
the way you expect when you press a key. This will often be
because you have pressed a key you did not intend to, which
makes your KOLEKTOR behave in an unfamiliar or unexpected way.
The following is a list of symptoms and cures.
There is no sound from the speakers!
Check that the MUTE indicator is not lit.
Check that your audio source is actually playing and that the
correct source is selected.
I cannot change sources!
Check that the LOCK indicator is not displayed. If necessary unlock
the source by pressing the RECORD button.
Poor response to handset commands
Direct sunlight, halogen lamps, and fluorescent bulbs can seriously
interfere with infra-red handset reception. Placing the KOLEKTOR
in the vicinity of any of these sources of interference can affect the
response to handset commands.
