There are differences in the method of performing loudspeaker calibration on a standard
EXOTIK and an EXOTIK+DA:

Standard EXOTIK

You will need a test disc that contains a tone signal for each loudspeaker in your system.
Your specialist Linn retailer may be able to supply you with a suitable disc.
