Recommended cartridge settings for Linn cartridges and phono stages.
| Cartridge | Phono Setting on Majik DSM/5 | Phono Setting on Selekt DSM |
| Adikt (MM) | 28mVrms | 28mVrms |
| Koil (MC) | 1.25mVrms | 1.2mVrms |
| Krystal (MC) | 2.5mVrms | 2.4mVrms |
| Kendo (MC) | 1.25mVrms | 1.2 or 2.4 mVrms |
| Kandid (MC) | 1.25mVrms | 1.2mVrms |
| Ekstatik (MC) | 1.25mVrms | 1.2 or 2.4mVrms |
The method for determining the MM/MC Input Level setting is to take the specified cartridge output voltage, multiply that by 4 then select the setting which is greater than or equal to that value.
For example the Linn Adikt he specified output voltage is 6.5mV
6.5 * 4 = 26
Setting = 28mVrms
