NTRODUCTION The Linn KLOUT power amplifier has many unique
attributes which set new standards in both mechanical and electronic
engineering. The KLOUT is designed to partner the Linn KAIRN pre-
amplifier, from which it can be operated directly.
The KLOUT is housed in a one-piece, solid extrusion, engineered to maximise
strength and heat dissipation. Three pairs of speaker outlets per channel allow
easy bi-wiring or tri-wiring. A screened transformer enables the KLOUT to be
positioned close to other audio products in your system without interference.
The KLOUT circuitry uses the latest surface mount technology for cooler, more
reliable operation. The vertically mounted circuit boards transfer the heat
from the power stages directly to the case. Sophisticated circuitry protects the
KLOUT against overload, and allows it to be used safely into the most complex
loudspeaker loads.
As with all components in the hi-fi chain, the quality of your system source -
turntable, tuner or CD player - is vital in ensuring that you get the best possible
results from the KLOUT power amplifier.

INSTALLATION Unpack the KLOUT and retain the packing for future
transportation.
CAUTION Take care when handling the KLOUT. It weighs 11kg and should be
lifted carefully to avoid damage to yourself and the product. Do not stack a
KLOUT with other products which will obstruct the airflow, or which cannot
support the weight.
WARNING Never attempt any home maintenance. Large capacitors,
containing LETHAL voltages, remain charged for a considerable time after
the KLOUT is switched off and disconnected from the mains. Any servicing
should be carried out by an authorised dealer.
