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 resis-
tance. To help you in choosing the minimum correct cable
gauge, follow diagram.
Phase
In order to maintain the phase relationship and frequency
balance of the loudspeaker system, both loudspeakers must be
properly connected to the power amplifier. When properly
connected, the cones of the drivers of both loudspeakers will
move in the same direction when driven by identical speakers
will move in the same signals. If the cones move in opposite
directions, the resulting out of phase signals will create a per-
ceptible power loss, particularly in the low frequencies. The
stereophonic message will also be degraded. 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
both channels. To check that the speakers are in correct pha-
se, switch the system to mono while music is being played. if
the amplifier does not have a phase inversion switch, it will
be necessary to change over the connections on one only of the
loudspeakers. If in correct phase, the image should be dis-
tinctly located between the loudspeakers with a slight loss of
bass and low midrange level. If the image is confused and not
centrally located and there is a drastic loss of bass and low
midrange level, recheck your connections.
MAINTENANCE
The Altura cabinets are made of medium density fiber panels,
either veneered with natural wood and protected by 4 coats
of varnish or protected by 5 layers of high gloss lacquer. The-
se hi-tech finish do not require any specific care. Use a wet cot-
ton waste for cleaning, or any cleaning device for wood or
plastic.
