Adjustments
■
LEVEL
w
For a first volume adjustment, position the
CROSSOVER
FREQUENCY
e
at around 120 Hz, and turn slowly the
LEVEL
w
clockwise from minimum level up to a position where you feel that
the subwoofer sound level is appropriate. A check of the level
adjustment will be necessary after following steps.
■
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
e
This potentiometer adjusts the cut-off frequency which deter-
mines the working bandwidth of the subwoofer. This adjust-
ment should be done according to the specifications of the
main speakers and the room acoustics. Choose the best fre-
quency after various listening tests.
■
PHASE
r
For a better sound integration of the subwoofer in the main
system, the
PHASE
r
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
r
each time you move your speakers and each time
you adjust the
CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
re
.
Attention, if you use 2 subwoofers, both phase switches must
be on the same position.
Our web site
www.cabasse.com
will give you the specific adjust-
ments we recommend for the use of our active subwoofers.
MAINTENANCE
The MC40 cabinets are made of medium density fiber panels,
protected by synthetically veneer with two coats of varnish
and a special anti-scratch film. This hi-tech veneer does not
require any specific care. Use a wet cotton waste for cleaning,
or any cleaning device for wood or plastic.
Because of technical improvements already under way in our constant search for optimum quality,
Cabasse reserves the right to modify all the models presented in specification sheets, advertising materials and manuals without prior notice.
