Linn PRETEK - Operations and Controls; Listening and Recording Paths

THE LINN PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGE. In many cases it is possible to use the Linn PRETEK
preamplifier with multiple power amplifiers to increase significantly the performance of the system. For
more information on the performance advantages of passive bi-amplification or tri-amplification, and
AKTIV multi-amplifier systems, consult your local authorised Linn retailer.
OPERATIONS & CONTROLS When the mains is applied and the power button is pressed, the power
LED will light up immediately and the amplifier will operate a few seconds later.
The LISTEN switch selects which source is fed to the “Pre-out” sockets at the rear of the unit. These
sockets should be connected to the input sockets of the power amplifier.
The RECORD switch selects which source is fed to the two pairs of tape output sockets.
NOTE When recording make sure you do not switch the RECORD selector to the tape that you are
using to record as it may result in an alarming noise from the tape machine. The LISTEN switch selects
which signal source is fed to the loudspeakers.
The MONO switch converts the signals fed to the loudspeakers to mono i.e. it adds left and right
together.
The MUTE switch completely silences the loudspeakers without affecting the volume control setting.
