need emergency help with Tukans!!!!!!

Posted by: Justin on 06 February 2003

I just took delivery of a pair of Tukans. They are configured for active operation, but I need them passive. I thought I would be able to just connect a few jumpers, and that would be it.

But, as I look inside, it looks harder than that. In particular, there is even a space for a capacitor that isn't there.

Can somebody who knows how please walk me through this. Looks like I'll have to take the cross-over out to do it.

You need the Linn Speaker Service manual. This has a page detailing how to convert Passive Tukan to Aktiv, presumably reassembly is the reverse process.

Perhaps you have to go in through the front, remove the crossover, resolder the links, move the wires from B+Act to B+Pass, and T-Act to T-Pass and then reassemble.

Figured it out, thanks. Was easier than I thought.
