SET-UP

The components of your system:

2, 3 or 5 iO2 speakers

1 Santorin 25 active subwoofer

iO2 speaker on base

The wall mountable version of the iO2 speaker requires a single
screw to be positioned on a wall

. The base of this version

is also designed for the iO2 speaker to be positioned on fur-
niture like a bookshelf or a TV-set.

The magnetic link between the sphere and its foot enables a very
easy orientation towards the listening area

. The foot is fit-

ted with 3 cables outputs (in its centre and in both ends) and
the bottom panel integrating the Cabasse logo can be turned
180°, so that you can choose the most elegant way for the
cables.

Attention,

the vent hole located at the back of the sphere

should not be sealed by the base.

iO2 speaker stand version

The stand version is supplied with adjustable spikes for a per-
fect stability even if the
floor is not horizontal.

iO2 SYSTEM positioning

Positioning of the speakers: if possible, try to match with the

drawing, with the Santorin 25 subwoofer in the front area facing
the listening spot. 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.

CONNECTIONS

It is imperative to respect the correct phasing when connecting:
+ to + (red) and - to - (black). To connect the speaker cable to
the terminals of the iO2 speaker, pull out the bottom plate
from the base. If your cables are coming out from the wall
just behind iO2 speaker, have the cables go through the bot-
tom plate before connecting them to the iO2 speaker terminals.

e n g l i s h

With the iO2 SYSTEM, Cabasse proposes a Hi Fi / audio video system based on the Spatially
Coherent System (SCS) principles coming from our high end ARTIS range of speakers.
With these 2-way very compact speakers combined with a Santorin 25 active subwoofer,
you can get a very high quality system, either in a 2.1 configuration (standard stereo),
in a 5.1 configuration (5 channels system), 6.1 or 7.1…

The Santorin 25 Cabasse subwoofer
is dedicated to iO2 SYSTEM.

Mercure, Santorin 21 or Santorin 30i
Cabasse subwoofer series can be used with
iO2 speakers. If you wish to use another
active subwoofer, check that the frequency

bandwidth of the subwoofer is adjustable up to 150 Hz with
a very 24 dB slope at 200 Hz.
We recommend the use of the Santorin 25 or Santorin 30i
subwoofers for their power handling capacity, especially
for a 3 channels or more set-up.

Attention!

Before connecting the

active subwoofer to the

mains, be assured that

the 115-230V switch is

set up according to the

local voltage.

Attention

Do no connect the active subwoofer

to the mains with the supplied

power cable before having comple-

ted all the other connections. After
