User manual CABASSE ANTIGUA IN WALL

[. . . ] N The speakers should be located so that their diffusion follows the longest dimension of the room. N No solid object or piece of furniture should be placed between the speakers and the listener. An effect of mask, even partial, disturbs completely the sound reproduction as it attenuates the high frequencies and also, in most cases, the midrange frequencies. [. . . ] 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). Mark around the outside of the template and cut the aperture neatly. N Position the frame in the wall or ceiling and screw in the 6 screws visible from the front of the frame. These screws swing out clamping dogs that locate behind the drywall. n Ensure that they have located properly and tighten the screws. 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. Do not re-nish the drive units or bafe area behind the grille. 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. They should not be positioned far behind the listening zone. [. . . ] Thanks to the above information, your installation is now nicely set up and we hope you will enjoy your speaker system for many years. 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.
