Ventilation outlets - The device shall not be placed in a position that restrains the operation of its fans. Avoid installing the device on a bed, couch, blanket or other similar surfaces that may prevent the appropriate air flow. Do not install the device in a confined space, such as a book shelf or other piece of furniture, that could prevent sufficient air from flowing freely.

Power - The device shall only be connected to a source of power compliant to the one described in this manual or on relevant printed labels on the product. If you are not sure of the type of power available, please contact your reseller or the local power company.

Power cords - The power cords must be laid out in such a way that they cannot be walked on, pinched, bent under other devices. Also pay special attention to the matching of the plugs and the connection of the cord to the device.

Lightning - For better protection against lightning or if the device must remain unused for long stretches of time, unplug the power cord and antenna jack. This minimizes potential damages due to lightning or line surges.

Overloads - Avoid overloading the power plugs, extension cords or power relays. This could result in fire or electric shocks.

Foreign bodies and liquids - Avoid letting foreign materials or liquids enter the device. They could cause fire or electric shocks. Never spill any liquid on the device.

Maintenance - Users must never attempt to maintain the device on their own, except for those maintenance operations described in this manual. Any task beyond regular user maintenance must be performed by qualified service operators.

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.
Foreign bodies or liquid penetrated the device.
The device was exposed to dripping or splashing.
The device does not seem to work correctly under normal operating conditions. Only operate the controls described in this manual. Any other operation could damage the device and require on-site visit of a qualified technician.
The device has fallen or its housing is damaged.
The performances of the device are strongly altered.

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.

Exposure to high temperatures - The device should be kept away from heating sources, such as radiators, heaters, amplifiers or any other similar item likely to make the operating temperature rise excessively.

Applicable for USA, Canada or where approved for usage

Caution! To prevent electric shock, match wide blade plug to wide slot, insert fully.

UNPACKING ①

After opening the top carton flaps, fold the carton flaps right back and invert the carton contents. Remove the documentation, the grilles, the cutting template and the upper foam form, then get the speakers out. Keep the grilles away from the work area until you are ready to fit them. We suggest you to retain the packing for future use.

Check the contents:

2 speakers
2 grilles
1 alignment template
1 manual and 1 product guarantee

SET-UP AND POSITIONING ④

Check that there is no conflict with other installations (pipe work, air conditioning, powercabling etc.). In existing construction, use a stud-finding tool to map the construction accurately and a pipe detector to scan the proposed installation position. Avoid installing the speakers in the same cavity as flimsy ducting, which may be induced to rattle. The speakers are designed to operate satisfactorily in a wide range of cavity volumes, ideally above 19 litres (0.53 cu ft). 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. If possible, keep the speakers more than 0.5m (20 in) from the ceiling edges.

Damping the wall cavity

In addition, loosely fill the whole section of the cavity with wadding. Fiberglass 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).

IMPORTANT: YOU SHOULD CHECK THAT THE MATERIALS YOU USE MEET THE LOCAL FIRE AND BUILDING REGULATIONS.

To get the best possible results, we advise you to use the appropriate optional item, either the Cabasse backbox (3) for Antigua IW and Minorca IW, or the kit for drywall mounting (4).

Set-up

Position the template on the surface as required. Mark around the outside of the template 4a and cut the aperture neatly 4b .
- Connect the speaker cable to the terminals 4c and to the amplifier. Respect the phase.
- Position the frame in the wall or ceiling and screw in the 6 screws visible from the front of the frame [4d]. These screws swing out clamping dogs that locate behind the drywall.
- Ensure that they have located properly and tighten the screws. A certain amount of flexing 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.
Position the grille in front of the speaker. It will automatically be fitted thanks to the magnetic link.

Customising

The grille has a paintable white semi-matte finish, ready if necessary to be re-finished to match your own decor.

Attention

Turn off all the amplifiers before interconnecting 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.

CONNECTION

Cable section

To get the full sonic potential of Cabasse loudspeakers and avoid power losses, the cables connecting the speakers to the power amplifier must have the lowest possible electrical resistance. To help you in choosing the correct cable gauge, follow diagram.

Length between amplifier and loudspeakers	Recommended section
4,5 m	1,5 mm²
6 m	2 mm²
7,5 m	2,5 mm²
9 m	3 mm²
12 m	4 mm²

Phase

Amplifier and speaker manufacturers typically indicate connection polarity in one of two ways: red and black or plus and minus. 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 all channels.
