have occurred during transit. If damage is found, notify the transportation
company immediately. Only you as the consignee may initiate a claim
for shipping damage. CODA AUDIO will be happy to cooperate fully as
needed. Please save the shipping carton as evidence of damage for the
shipper’s inspection.
Even if the amplifier has arrived in perfect condition, save all packing
materials for any future transport of the unit.
When shipping the LINUS10 amplifier, always use the original shipping
carton and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as
it was originally packed at the factory.
NOTE: Never ship the amplifier without the original packaging materials.
2.2 The Amplifier
The LINUS10 amplifiers offer a power output of:
4900 W peak per channel @ 4 Ohm
5300 W peak per channel @ 2 Ohm
Using a bipolar class H high efficiency power amplifier output stage.
For a complete overview of rated power data please refer to chapter 8
Specifications.
The LINUS10 power amplifier is fitted with Dual Voltage Switched Mode
Power Supply (SMPS) with automatic voltage range selection for 120
V / 230 V operation, which significantly reduces the weight and size (only
2U) of the amplifier. Using SMPS, the seamlessly regulated symmetrical
supply voltages of the power amplifier are more stable and efficient than
the power supplies used in conventional amplifiers.
The LINUS10 also uses a microprocessor for controlling and monitoring
the power amp. This has five main advantages over more traditional power
amp systems:
1. Integrated Remote Control
2. Extreme fast and accurate monitoring of all amplifier parameters
3. Fast detection of failures
4. Very fast triggering of protection features
The LINUS10 has been designed as an intelligent and powerful amplifier
for performing specialised tasks within a complex audio system. Users can
adapt the power amp to meet their specific audio requirements before use.
The display mounted on the front of theLINUS10 amplifier allow the differ-
ent functions to be accessed. Since there are a lot of parameters available,
it is important that users should familiarize themselves thoroughly with the
entire range of settings and programmable features before using the pow-
er amp. If you have any questions regarding features and/or functions of
your LINUS10 amplifier, CODA AUDIO will be pleased to provide you with
further information. Alternatively, contact your dealer or distributor.

3.2 Cooling
Under normal operation of the power amp, overheating should never be a
problem. The air is taken in from the front and out through the back. It is
of course essential that, while the power amp is running, the air is able to
circulate around it freely. The efficiency of the cooling will depend on both
the immediate environment (e.g. an enclosed rack, direct sunlight) and
that the front filter is clogged. If the amp is installed in a case, the open
area at the back of the case must be at least 140 cm². This area should be
in line with the amp. If this cannot be achieved, a forced ventilation system
has to be used.
3.3. Mains
3.3.1 Mains supply
Only connect theLINUS10 amplifier to an appropriate AC circuit and outlet
in accordance with the requirements indicated in the second line on the
rating plate. Only use mains cables with original Neutrik powerCON®32 A
connectors for safety reasons.
For installation mains cable and amplifier protection, we recommend the
use of a 16 A mains breaker with C-type tripping characteristic for 230 V
operation for each LINUS10 amplifier! (or a 30 – 32 A breaker for 120 V
operation respectively)
Please do NOT use much larger mains breakers than recommended
here and especially do NOT connect several LINUS10 amplifiers to
one single (very large) breaker.
Always respect this rule of thumb for good installation practice for
guaranteeing long term reliable, robust and safe operation:
One LINUS10 – One circuit breaker
As soon as the amplifier is connected to mains, the primary capacitors are
charged through the inrush current limiter. At the same time the auxil-
liary power supply is activated, generating a 5 V standby voltage to the
main controller and the display. This allows powering up the main SMPS
from the switch on the amplifiers front panel.
NOTE: Turning the amplifier off from the user interface (1/0 switch) does
not disconnect the amplifier from mains.
Disconnecting the amplifier from the mains can only be achieved by
physically removing / disconnecting the mains cable. The mains cable
therefore has to be freely accessible at all times.
Attention: Never unplug the powerCON
® connector while the amplifier
is playing music. Always turn the amplifier off from the display menu
®
(see chapter 4.2) before disconnecting the powerCON connector.
Alternatively, you can disconnect the amplifier from the mains via an
external all-pole disconnection (e.g. a mains breaker).
Disconnect the mains cable during a lightning storm or when the amplifier
remains unused or unsupervised for a prolonged period of time.
If a power cut occurs while the amplifier is switched on, it will restart auto-
matically once the mains distribution has been restored. All settings prior
to the loss of power will be maintained.

3.3.2 Inrush current limitiation
The LINUS10 has a special processor dedicated to limit the mains inrush
current.
This limiter will take action anytime:
– when connecting the amplifier to the mains through the mains cable
– when switching the amplifier on through an external mains breaker
– the mains voltage was lost for at least 4 half-cycles or more (e.g. a short
voltage drop)
This limiter will confine the mains current to a value smaller than 17 A *.
rms
*: maximum rms value of inrush current over one half-cycle of the mains voltage according to DIN EN 55103-1.
NOTE: Even under normal conditions the mains current can reach levels up
to 32 A / 64 A (230 V / 120 V) and even higher for very short periods of time.
This could cause lamps to flicker if connected to the same mains as the am-
plifier. The impedance of the AC circuit should be less than 0,157 Ùto avoid
flicker according to EN61000-3-11 “Electromagnetic compatibility – Part 3-
11: Limits – Limitation of voltage changes, voltage fluctuations, and flicker
in the public low-voltage supply systems – Equipment with rated current ≤
75 A and subject to conditional connection”. If in any doubt, consult your
local power provider. Never attempt to measure this impedance level with
your ohmmeter. This may damage your meter and expose you to the risk
of electric shock!
3.3.3 Mains power consuption and current draw
Due to the huge output power of the LINUS10 , the mains current draw can
get very high when demanding large output powers. Please refer to follow-
ing table for an overview of mains currents and power cunsuption under
different operating conditions.

Measured with pink noise with crest factor of 12 dB to represent typical music signal.
For 120 V mains operation, the current values can be multiplied by 2.
*: duration limited by FuseProtect limiter
Please note that the values given here are typical values only, measured
on a standard 230 V / 50 Hz outlet. The actual mains current draw can vary
depending on the music signal and the mains characteristics (especially
the mains impedance) of any specific installation.

LINUS 10

3.4 Signal inputs
The LINUS10 amplifier offers two different input signal sources:
Analog
In this mode the analog signals connected to the XLR input connectors
will be used as input signal.
LINET
With the L INET setting the input signals are taken from the LINET Digital
Audio Network Interface.
3.4.1 Analog Input
XLR: Pin 1 = Ground (lifted via 15 Ùresistor to chassis / earth)
Pin 2 = Hot (in-phase, "+")
Pin 3 = Cold (out of phase, "- ")
We suggest to always use symmetrically (balanced) shielded cable to con-
nect the amplifier.
The LINUS10 amplifier has a 32 dB voltage gain.
The table shows input sensitivity per channel for a given gain and load.

3.4.2 LINET Input / Output
The L input and output connectors allow you to receive and send
multichannel digital audio streams to other LINET-compatible devices
(like other LINUS10 amplifiers for example). Please note that altough the
L connectors use the same connector type than standard Ethernet
(RJ-45), the physical transmission protocols are different. So any direct
connection between the L connectors and standard Ethernet con-
nectors will not work.
3.5 Remote control inputs (Ethernet / LINET)
The Ethernet Link network connector allows you to access the LINUS10
from a host computer for remote control, firmware update and download-
ing DSP presets. Please note that for setting up proper network connec-
tion you need to use the CODA AUDIO LiNUS-Live software.

3.6.1 SPEAKON Connection
Both SPEAKON®connectors are connected to the channel A and chan -
nel B amplifier outputs. Note that the wiring configuration of the second
(bottom) SPEAKON ®connector is inverted (channel A and B outputs
swapped).
®
The pin configuration of the SPEAKON connectors is as follows:
®
Upper SPEAKON : Pin 1+ Channel A amplifier output
Pin 1- Channel A ground
Pin 2+ Channel B amplifier output
Pin 2- Channel B ground
®
Bottom SPEAKON : Pin 1+ Channel B amplifier output
Pin 1- Channel B ground
Pin 2+ Channel A amplifier output
Pin 2- Channel A ground
WARNING!
®
SPEAKON connectors marked with the lightning flashes indicate
high voltages that are potentially life threatening.
Wiring to these terminals requires installation by an instructed person or
the use of ready-made leads or cords.
Custom wiring should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
To prevent electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with any of the
conductor portion of the speaker wire exposed.
NOTE: For reasons of safety and performance do only use high-qual-
ity fully insulated speaker cables of stranded copper wire. Use the
largest wire size that is economically and physically practical. Make
sure that the cables are not longer than necessary.
IMPORTANT: When connecting speaker cabinets in parallel (especial-
ly in Paralell Mono operation mode), always use both SPEAKON
®con-
nectors where possible for current sharing. Not doing so may cause
permanent damage to the connectors and may considerably reduce
performance.
