ENGLISH
With the GALLiA SYSTEM, Cabasse proposes a 5.1 audio
video system based on the Spatially Coherent Source
(SCS) principles coming from our high end ARTIS range
of speakers.
With these 2-way speakers combined with a GALLiA active
subwoofer, you can get a very high quality system, in a 5.1
configuration (5 channels system) or 6.1…
UNPACKING
Open carton flaps; leave one by one all the components.
If the speakers or the subwoofer appear damaged, do not
use them. Repack everything in the original packing and
contact your authorized Cabasse dealer immediately. We
suggest you to retain the packing for future use.
Caution !
Handle with care the 35.5 lb (16 kg) of the subwoofer. Use good
lifting practice to avoid injury.
Caution !
To avoid electric shock or fire hazards, do not expose speakers
to rain or moisture.
Caution !
To avoid danger of suffocation keep the plastic bags that wrap
these speakers out of the reach of children.
SETTING UP
j
The components of your system:
n
5 GALLiA speakers, 5 black front grills, 5 grey front grills,
5 wall supports, 1 support for the centre way, screws to
fix the supports.
n
1 GALLiA active subwoofer, 1 black front grill, 1 grey
front grill, 1 MAX (Multichanel Audio Crossover) Cabasse,
2 CINCH cables, 1 power cord.
The GALLiA speaker can be placed on a shelf
k
, fixed on
a wall
l
or fixed on a stand
m
, a set of 2 stands to be
mounted for GALLiA speakers is sold separately.
POSITIONNING
n
n
GALLiA speakers have all the same technical features;
they can be used on any channel. All the speakers are
magnetically shielded to prevent interference with the
image of your television set; they can thus be placed
near any screen.
n
Speakers are delivered with a front grill to protect
drivers. It is possible to use them without this front grill, but
we recommend this protection to be kept on to prevent
accidental damage to the drivers.
n
No solid object or piece of furniture should be placed
between the speakers and the listener.
n
Front left and right speakers must be directed towards
the listening area and placed on either side of the screen
with at least a distance of 7 ft and 16 ft (2 and 5 m)
between the 2 speakers.
n
The centre satellite should be placed as close as
possible to the screen: on the top, below, or directly on
your television set. Place the satellite at the vertical of
the screen for a perfect cohesion and precision between
dialogues and picture.
n
Surround speakers should be placed against the side
walls, at listening height or higher if possible and slightly
behind the listening area.
n
The GALLiA subwoofer should be placed in the front
listening area. To get the best result, it is always necessary
to carry out tests according to the acoustics of the room.
To prevent interference with the screen of your television
set, place the subwoofer at least 2 ft (0,6m) of your
television set.
CONNECTIONS
o
Caution !
Before making any connection turn off your AV amplifier and
unplug it from the outlet. Not doing so may result in damage to your system.
Caution !
It is imperative before any connection to respect the setting in
phase by connecting the ter/red of the AV amplifier to the terminal
+/red of the speakers. Proceed then in the same way for terminals -/black.
Caution !
The use of the MAX Cabasse module is essential to the correct
operation of GALLiA SYSTEM; therefore, it is necessary to respect the following
connection instructions.
n
The cables connecting the GALLiA speakers to the AV
amplifier must have a section between 1 and 2 mm².
n
Connect each output of the AV amplifier directly to the
matching GALLiA speaker: “FRONT LEFT”, “FRONT RIGHT”,
“CENTRE”, “SURROUND LEFT” and “SURROUND RIGHT”.
n
Use the MAX module and the 2 CINCH cables for the
connection of the subwoofer. Low frequencies coming
from the 5 channels of your AV amplifier are taken directly
from the AV amplifier with the MAX module and directed
with one of the CINCH cable to the MAX IN input of the
subwoofer. For the MAX module, cables are standardized;
they can be connected to any speaker’s outputs of the
amplifier. It is absolutely necessary to respect the polarity
(+/red, - /black) while connecting the 5 pairs of cables of
the MAX in parallel with the speaker’s cables connecting
the AV amplifier to theGALLiA speakers.
n
Then connect the input LFE IN of the subwoofer to
the output SUBWOOFER/LFE of the AV amplifier using the
second CINCH cable.
Check all the connections carried out on the speakers,
the subwoofer and the amplifier. Ensure that each speaker
is connected according to its position in the room. Check
that all the speakers are well in phase (+/red in +/red
and -/black in -/black). Once this checking made you
can connect your amplifier and the subwoofer to the
sector.
Caution !
To prevent the risks of electric shock take care to completely
insert plugs of sector cords.
SUBWOOFER ADJUSTING
p
Take care of positioning the sector switch 115V/230V on
the right position according to your country.
The switch ON/OFF (located on the back) of the subwoofer
has 3 positions:
n
ON
n
AUTO
Automatic, the system is put automatically on
ON or OFF according to the presence of signal coming
from the AV amplifier. Put the switch ON/OFF on AUTO
or ON position.
n
OFF
