User manual CABASSE ANTIGUA IN WALL

[. . . ] Because of technical improvements already under way in our constant search for optimum quality, Cabasse reserves the right to modify all the models presented in specication sheets, advertising materials and manuals without prior notice. Please read carefully these instructions before setting up your speakers. N The speakers should be located so that their diffusion follows the longest dimension of the room. [. . . ] Placement near a wall/ceiling junction or in a corner is to be avoided as it may give rise to too much bass and a boomy quality to the sound. Damping the wall cavity In addition, loosely ll the whole section of the cavity with wadding. Fibreglass and mineral wool matting supplied for heat insulation are suitable, but not closed cell foam or expanded polystyrene. Check that there is no debris that may fall into the speaker (especially in ceiling mount situations). N Position the frame in the wall or ceiling and screw in the 6 screws visible from the front of the frame. A certain amount of exing of the frame is allowed to take up unevenness in the mounting surface, but do not over tighten the screws as excessive distortion of the frame may occur. Customising The frame has a paintable white semi-matte nish, ready if necessary to be renished to match your own decor. Powerful drivers generate magnetic elds that can extend beyond the boundaries of the speaker cabinet. In addition to the position of the speakers, their location in the listening room, as well as the acoustical characteristics of the room, are also very important. As it is impossible to indicate a typical location of speaker systems without a few tests, we suggest several general rules that are important to apply in order to obtain the best listening results. Setting up a multi-channel Audio-Video system requires great care when positioning the specic AV speakers. N The centre speaker should be placed as close as possible to the screen and where it sounds best from your listening spot while offering the optimal picture/ dialogues cohesion. Theoretically, the screen should be located within a virtual triangle formed by the acoustical centres of the main speakers and the centre speaker. Practically speaking, this means that the principal speaker should be placed above the screen if the main speakers are below it, and below the screen if the main speakers are above. N The rear speakers or surround should be placed in the side walls, at listening height. N The subwoofer should be placed in the front listening area, its position against a wall reinforces the extreme low register and limits the reections between 80 and 200 Hz. [. . . ] We receive every day letters from customers expressing the ever growing satisfaction and musical emotion they have been getting with our speakers over the years. If « d » is the distance between the two speakers, this distance must be higher than 5 ft (1. 5 m) and the two speakers must be at equal distance from the listening area which forms with them an equilateral triangle.
