Lets take these one at a time.......
Any source in the Main System can be distributed to any Room, simultaneously.
As opposed to a standard Line Driver based Knekt system where the Main System pre-
amp RECORD output is distributed to all Rooms, the Intersekt enables the distribution
and control of up to 16 sources to any Room simultaneously.
When accessing a source which is already being listened to (in another Room ) the RCU
will inform the customer, not bad eh ?
Contents 4
Main System sources can be controlled independently.
A Line Driver based system transmits all control commands to ALL Main System sources,
e.g. a [ PLAY ] command will be sent round the entire Linn Line Remote Loop AND
echoed from each IR repeater output.
This will only present a problem if a customer has, for example, 2 Kremlin tuners or 2
generic RC5 CD players or 2 VCR’s.
( Remember: In a Line Driver based Knekt system a Linn AND a non RC5 source of
the same type will not have this particular problem. e.g. a Karik and a Pioneer CD
player ).
With an Intersekt, each source is controlled independently: commands for Tuner 1 are sent
ONLY to Tuner 1, commands for Tuner 3 are sent ONLY to Tuner 3. Each source input
on an Intersekt has a corresponding set of control i/p o/p sockets.
For a Linn source, commands are sent and status is read back via two phono sockets
connected to the Linn Line Remote sockets on each individual Linn source.
For a non-Linn source, commands are sent via one phono socket (and a phono to 3.5mm
adapter ) to the IR repeater for that particular source.
The wee adapter....
RS part nr 177-734 app 47p
Tandy ( Radio Shack ) have them as well.
Contents 5
Individual Rooms can be allocated certain sources.
Up to Installation software V1.03.
With a Line Driver system all Main System sources are available in all Rooms. You could
determine the amount of control over each source but ALL sources can be ‘listened to’.
Installation software V2.00: Introduced with the Intersekt.
Main System sources can, in effect, be ‘unplugged’ from individual Rooms. This allows
the customer to determine in which Rooms, for example, the Karik CD player can be
accessed and listened to.
Contents 6
Main System sources can be situated remotely from the Main System pre-amp.
This is the one that seems to cause a certain amount of confusion so a diagram of each of
the configurations is included.
The main thing to remember is.....
1. To have Intersekt ‘in parallel’ with the Main System pre-amp AND have control of the
Main System pre-amp functions from the Main System RCU then that pre-amp MUST
be a Linn Kairn.
2. To have a ‘Phantom’ Main Room, i.e. all the sources and the Intersekt in a cupboard
under the stairs then the Main Room becomes ‘just another Room’.
Why MUST the Parallel system have a Kairn ?, well...... It’s all down to the electronics
within the respective pre-amps.
A Kairn will respond to pre-amp commands from the Linn Line Remote input.
A Wakonda/Majik does NOT have any Linn Line Remote sockets or circuitry.
When a Sneaky Receiver is installed in a Wakonda/Majik the Linn Line Remote sockets
are for comms with local Linn sources.
The Wakonda/Majik will NOT respond to pre-amp commands from the Linn Line Remote
sockets on the Sneaky Receiver.
( The Wakonda/Majik with a Sneaky Receiver responds to pre-amp commands via
the RJ45 socket, i.e. the RCU ).

Expandable - up to 16 sources distributed to up to 128 Rooms.
The Intersekt ‘boxes’ come in three configurations....
1. Intersekt R8S8a STANDALONE box that will distribute 8 sources to up to 8
Rooms. This box is NOT expandable, it is a one off solution for customers who will
NEVER have a requirement to exceed the 8x8 limit.
2. Intersekt SES8a Source Expansion box that can accommodate up to 8 sources.
There is a maximum of 2 SES8 expansion boxes per system allowing up to 16 sources.
3. Intersekt RER16 a Room Expansion box that can distribute to up to 16
Rooms. A maximum of 8 RER16 expansion boxes can be linked to allow up to 128
Rooms.
In the Hints and Tips section at the end of this document you will find various System
options depending on whether the customer has a ‘Phantom’ or ‘Parallel’ Intersekt and
whether he has 1 or 2 RECORD devices.
On the next two pages you will find layouts for each of the ‘boxes’ and a 16 source 32
Room setup.
