Linn Lingo - SPEED SELECTION AND SITING; Selecting Turntable Speeds; Turntable and Power Supply Siting; Power Supply Placement

The circuitry should be given a few seconds to settle down before switching
the motor on.
The LP12 with LINGO power supply has been designed to give optimum performance
at both 33
1
⁄ 3 rpm and 45rpm.
33

⁄ 3 rpm. The LP12 has electronic speed change. To engage 33
1
⁄ 3 rpm press the
switch on the LP12 once and the red LED on the switch will light, indicating
33
1
⁄ 3 rpm. To stop press the switch once again.
45rpm. Press and hold the switch on the LP12. The red LED will light, then the green,
indicating 45rpm. To stop press the switch once again. Note, if the platter is
deliberately stopped while in operation at 45rpm, the turntable will not automatically
re-start. To re-start it is necessary to switch off the turntable, wait a few seconds and
re-select the speed or manually spin the platter.
NOTE
The platter will take a few seconds to reach 45rpm. (The LED will dim when
correct speed is attained).
In most cases, installation of the LP12 will be completed by the retailer, but the
following points should be noted.
POWER SUPPL
Y SITING The LINGO power supply is mains powered and has a
torodial mains transformer. The hum filed from this transformer is extremely low;
however, care should be taken not to position the LINGO too close to signal leads or
preamp. Your dealer should be able to help you get the best position.
FLOOR MOUNTING
Place the deck on a small, light, rigid table, e.g., small coffee
table. Ensure that the table is sitting level on the floor and not rocking.
W
ALL MOUNTING Wall mounting may be preferable where a highly sprung floor
exists or where there is a risk of damage by children. The shelf used should be
light and rigid, and it should be supported by, but not firmly screwed or glued to its
brackets.
To open the lid requires a clearance of 3” (7.5cm) behind the plinth and at least 13”
(33cm) above.
It is quite normal for the deck suspension to settle slightly afetr installation. This
will not affect performance.
