User manual CABASSE SANTORIN 21

[. . . ] Instructions - Carefully read through all the safety and Operating instructions before switching on any device for the first time. Troubleshooting - You must unplug your device from the Power supply and have it checked by a qualified technician if: The power supply or the plug is damaged. The device does not seem to work correctly under normal operating conditions. Only operate the controls described in this manual. [. . . ] Lenght between recommanded To get the full sonic section potential of Cabasse amplifier and loudspeakers 4. 5 mm 2 the cables connecting 9m 3 mm 2 the speakers to the 12 m 4 mm 2 power amplifier must have the lowest possible electrical resistance. To help you in choosing the correct cable gauge, follow diagram. In order to maintain the phase relationship and frequency balance of the loudspeaker system, both loudspeakers must be properly connected to the power amplifier. When properly connected, the cones of the drivers of both loudspeakers will move in the same 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. Connections should be identical for both channels. 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 Attention, a slight loss of bass and low before operating the unit, midrange level. If the image is be sure that the operating voltage confused and not centrally locaof your unit is identical ted and there is a drastic loss of with that of your local bass and low midrange level, power voltage. 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. 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. The rear speakers or surround should be placed against the side walls, at listening height. They should not be positioned far behind the listening zone. [. . . ] These outputs can thus be used to bring the signal to the main loudspeaker systems. With the switch on the AUTO position, the unit will mute after a few minutes without input signal. The system turns on automatically when signal comes back. Attention, before operating the unit, be sure that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with that of your local power voltage.
