User manual CABASSE SANTORIN 30 I BROCHURE

[. . . ] Any other operation could damage the device and require on-site visit of a qualified technician. Spare parts - If spare parts are needed to repair the device, make sure that the technician followed the manufacturer's recommendations or that the replacing parts feature the same specifications as the original ones. non-compliant parts can result in multiple damages , including fire or electric shocks. Checks - After any servicing of the device, ask the technician to perform appropriate testing to make sure that the device works safely. [. . . ] also pay special attention to the matching of the plugs and the connection of the cord to the device. Plastic bags - Keep them away from children to prevent any Cabasse centre speakers or the ones marked «TV» are not concerned with this, being magnetically shielded. In order to maintain the phase relationship and frequency balance of the loudspeaker system, both Attention, loudspeakers must be properly before operating the unit, connected to the power amplifier. Be sure that the operating voltage When properly connected, the of your unit is identical cones of the drivers of both loudwith that of your local speakers will move in the same power voltage. Direction when driven by identical speakers will move in the same signals. If the cones move in opposite directions, the resulting out of phase signals will create a perceptible power loss, particularly in the low frequencies. In either case, always connect red or plus to red or plus and black or minus to black or minus. To check that the speakers are in correct phase, switch the system to mono while music is being played. If the amplifier does not have a phase inversion switch, it will be necessary to change over the connections on one only of the loudspeakers. If in correct phase, the image should be distinctly located between the loudspeakers with a slight loss of bass and low midrange level. If the image is confused and not centrally located and there is a drastic loss of bass and low midrange level, recheck your connections. 3 possibilities are offered to connect the subwoofer with your system : the one requiring the use of the LOW LEVEL INPUT terminals 6 and shielded coaxial RCA-RCA connectors, For a stereo listening with 2 speakers or 2 satellites and 1 subwoofer, we recommend you to place the subwoofer in the front listening area. The placement of the subwoofer against a wall reinforces the low frequencies and limit the reflections from 80 to 200 Hz. However to obtain the best results, it is always necessary to carry out tests according to the acoustic of the room. Setting up a multi-channel Audio-Video system requires great care when positioning the specific AV speakers. I 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. The centre speaker should also, if possible, be set slightly back from the others, so that it is located at the same distance from the listener as the main speakers. I The rear speakers or surround should be placed against the side walls, at listening height. I The subwoofer should be placed in the front listening area, its position against a wall reinforces the extreme low register and limits the reflections between 80 and 200 Hz. However to obtain the best result, it is always necessary to carry out tests according to the acoustics of the room. [. . . ] Attention, before operating the unit, be sure that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with that of your local power voltage. For a better sound integration of the subwoofer in the main system, the PHASE 0 of the subwoofer might have to be inverted (180° position), depending on the distance between the subwoofer and the main speakers. You have to check the PHASE 0 each time you move your speakers and each time you adjust the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 9. Attention, if you use 2 subwoofers, both phase switches must be on the same position. [. . . ]
