UNPACKING

1

After opening the top carton flaps, fold the carton flaps right

back, remove the cardboard sheet, the bag of accessories and

the foam half-shells protecting the speakers and the front grille.

Then pull out the grill and the speaker. We suggest you to

retain the packing for future use.

These speakers are very heavy, so 2 persons minimum are

required to unpack and re-pack them.

POSITIONING

Speakers positioning

Our speakers have been designed to function in a vertical 

position. Under these conditions, the polar response is most

uniform

2

.

The Egea 3 and Iroise 3 models are delivered with a set of

decoupling spikes

3

. These accessories are to be screwed in the

inserts on the base of the speakers after having removed the

caps (turn them anti-clockwise). Adjust the height of the spikes

by using the M4 Allen key delivered with the speakers. These

accessories ensure the stability of the speaker while limiting

resonance coming from certain types of grounds like wood

floors.

Speakers are delivered with a front grille to protect drivers. 

It is possible to use them without this front grille, by gently

pulling its top end in order to cut off its magnetic link with

the magnets to the front panel. To get the grill back in place,

position it in front of the speaker and approach it to the front

panel until the magnetic link is effective. These operations

must be carried out very smoothly in order not to damage 

prematurely the veneer covering the magnets on the front panel

of the speaker

4

.

Powerful drivers generate magnetic fields that can extend

beyond the boundaries of the speaker cabinet. We recom-

mend you keep magnetically sensitive articles (TV, computer

screen, computer discs, audio and video tapes, swipe cards...)

at least 1.5 ft (50 cm) away from the speaker. Cabasse centre

speakers or the ones marked «TV» are not concerned with

this, being magnetically shielded.

Positioning speakers in a room

In addition to vertical position of the speakers themselves,

their location in the listening room, as well as the acoustical cha-

racteristics of the room, are also very important. As it is impos-

sible to indicate a typical location of speaker systems without

a few tests, we suggest several general rules that are impor-

tant to apply in order to obtain the best listening results.

Optimal positioning for a 2.0 or stereo system

6

For the ideal positioning of your speakers follow diagram. 

If «d» is the distance between the two speakers, this distance

must be higher than 5 ft (1.5 m) and the two speakers must be

at equal distance from the listening area which forms with

them an equilateral triangle.

The drivers must be directed towards the listening area.

The speakers should be located so that their diffusion follows

the longest dimension of the room.

Generally speaking it is better to avoid putting the speakers

in the corners of a room as this amplifies the low frequencies

and tends to enhance the room resonances. If possible it is

better to place the speakers at least 8 inches (20 cm) from

the walls.

Moreover, in order to obtain a more accurate frequency 

response, it is recommended to raise a compact speaker from 12

to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm) above the floor by placing them on

stands. The tweeters of the speakers must be roughly at the same

height of the listener’s ear when the listener is in sitting position.

No solid object or piece of furniture should be placed between

the speakers and the listener. An effect of mask, even partial 

disturbs completely the sound reproduction as it attenuates 

the high frequencies and also, in most cases, the midrange

frequencies.

Placing the speakers in niches is not recommended. Unless

designed for this application, bookshelf placement will alter the

frequency response of the speaker, especially in the low fre-

quencies. If a bookshelf location cannot be avoid, the speaker

should be set up to minimize various resonance, and the visible

part of the grille must be outside the niche.
