Loadmem
With reference to Knekt RCUs, Loadmem is a function in the RCU which gives the RCU its best state of
readiness to receive a software upload. Loadmem can be achieved by removing power from the RCU (either
unplug the 8-way cable or use the Knekt Knife) and powering up while holding the Vol+ and Vol- keys
together. LOADMEM will be shown on the display. It is not absolutely necessary to use Loadmem when
downloading software but it often helps if there is a problem.
Local Room
A term used in Knekt systems which is used in similar situations as ‘Secondary’ and ‘Satellite’. Used to
describe rooms, products etc in a room in a Knekt system that are not the Main room. Tends to be used also,
however to describe products, systems etc in a room which is under discussion. For example, you might be
talking about the Master Bedroom and describe the sources there as the local sources. You may also talk
about one main room and another 3 local rooms.
Lock
When a Karik and Numerik are connected together, the Numerik detects the Karik connection and locks on
to the Karik – lock status can be viewed using the LEDs at the back of the Numerik. There are 2 lock modes
– Master and Slave (these are explained at ‘Master’ and ‘Slave’ below.)
LP12
Short for Linn Sondek LP12 - Our first turntable - in fact it was the first Linn product – the product that
launched the company. Currently is our only turntable. Introduced 1972.
M
Main room
In a Knekt system, the Main room is the room that contains the Driver or Intersekt and contains the source
products which you wish to distribute to Secondary rooms. The Main room need not be an actual room, it
may be a cupboard or attic or any area where the Intersekt is kept but the system requires this area be
defined as the Main room
Majik-I
Linn integrated amp. Introduced 1993. Also known simply as the Majik. There are 2 versions - a Phono
version (Majik-IP) and a line-level version (Majik -IL).
Master
Refers to ‘Master mode’ – when a Karik is using a Numerik as a D-A converter, there are 2 modes – Master
and Slave modes. Master mode is superior to Slave. Slave mode is the conventional method of locking a CD
player to a D-A converter where the CD player’s clock dictates the D-A converter timing. Master mode is
where the Numerik D-A converter clock dictates the timing of the CD player/Numerik combination. This mode
eliminates data related clock jitter and provides superior sound performances, as the timing is more
