Linn Klout - Manual (Page 11)

VENTILATION Every power amplifier requires ventilation. Position the KLOUT in
such a way as to allow free movement of air around the heatsinks. Up to five
KLOUTs can be stacked on top of each other without risk of
overheating. We do not recommend stacking the KLOUT on any other product. The
KLOUT will automatically shut down if it gets too hot. If this happens,
provide more ventilation.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
The KLOUT has one pair of RCA phono sockets per channel labelled LINE INPUT
and LINE OUTPUT These phono sockets provide connection to the pre-amplifier
and enable the signal to be chained from one KLOUT to another in multi-amplifier
applications.
WARNING The pre-amplifier and the power amplifier must be switched off
before connecting or disconnecting any of the plugs on the rear panel.
Ensure that the left LINE OUTPUT of the pre-amplifier is connected to the left
LINE INPUT on the KLOUT, and likewise for the right channel connection.
In a single KLOUT system the signal from one of the three KAIRN line
outputs should be connected to the KLOUT
LINE INPUT sockets. The KLOUT
LINE OUTPUT sockets remain unused.
In multi-amplifier installations, we recommend that each KLOUT is connected
individually to one of the three KAIRN line outputs. However, in installations
where minimal cabling is required, it may be desirable to use the
LINE INPUT and
LINE OUTPUT sockets on the KLOUT to link the power amplifiers.
The signal from the pre-amplifier is routed to the LINE INPUT sockets of the first
KLOUT. The signal is then chained to the second KLOUT by connecting an RCA
phono interconnect cable from the
LINE OUTPUT sockets of the first KLOUT to
the LINE INPUT sockets of the second KLOUT. This connection procedure is
repeated for each KLOUT in the chain.
