User manual CABASSE SANTORIN 30 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Thank you very much for choosing Cabasse speakers. Please read these instructions carefully before setting up your speakers. sAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS Explanation of graphical symbols - The lightning flash with Arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. [. . . ] I 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. 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. Your AV processor enables the adjustment in level and delay of each of the 5/6/7 channels of your system. Fine-tuning is necessary to obtain a perfect sound stage. Select the right voltage with the 115 V ­ 230 V A1 switch and connect the A3 plug to the mains with a 700 W or more power chord cable (3 A / 230 V, 6 A / 115 V). Then power on the amplifier with the A2 switch. Finally press the POWER key of the remote control or any key on the front pad to get the system on play mode. Before operating the unit, be sure that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with that of your local power voltage. USE OF THE FRONT PANEL PAD: The 5 keys on the front panels of the Santorin 30 give access to all the here-under adjustable parameters. Use the " " and " " (TP6 et TP3) keys to select the parameters, then select the right option or value thanks to the " " et " " (TP6 et TP3) keys. The "ENTER" (TP1) key must be pressed down to confirm a setting and/or answer to "ENTER ?Turn off all the amplifiers before connecting them to the loudspeakers. In order to connect loudspeakers properly, it is most important to keep in mind the following two factors: cable section and phase. I MUTE ON: the sound signal is cut off, the subwoofer remains powered and all the parameters can be adjusted. i MUTE OFF: the subwoofer is on play mode. - PRESET 1, PRESET 2, PRESET 3 (RC4, RC5, RC6) : activation of the enduser presets - DISPLAY (RC7): Screen display : press this key to switch on or off the LCD display These 2 types of inputs can be used simultaneously depending on configuration. I R : right channel I L : left channel I R+L : right and left channels 1 CONFIGURATION : 2 satellites + 1 Santorin connected to a stereo amplifier Connect the right (R) and left (L) HI LEVEL inputs A5 of the Santorin to the loudspeakers' output terminals of your amplifier with loudspeaker cable. Be careful not to invert polarity and/or channels, the red (+) terminals of the amplifier must be connected to the red (+) terminals of the amplifier, and right amplifier's output to the right inputs of the subwoofer. Connect the right (R) and left (L) HI LEVEL outputs A4 of the Santorin to the terminals of both satellite speakers. Respect polarities and left and right when connecting the speaker cable between the subwoofer and the satellites. [. . . ] G2) MANUAL ROOM EQUALISATION This way of setting up might bring better results than the Cabasse autocalibration system only if skilled people with specific measurement equipment are involved. It can also be used to slightly modify some auto-calibration values for audio comparisons of different PRESETS ((RC6) keys) or use of sources with different sound balances. 1) Select PRESET ( 1, 2 or 3) 2)Use the « » and « » keys (TP6 et TP3) of the control pad , then « ENTER »to select one of the parametric modules : PARAMETRIC 1, PARAMETRIC 2, PARAMETRIC 3. 3)« CENTER »: choose the middle frequency of the bandwidth to be modified, between 30 and 200 Hz in 1 Hz increments.
