CONNECTIONS OF 5.1 CONFIGURATION 6
Connect of the LINE IN inputs of the subwoofer to the
output SUBWOOFER/LFE of the AV amplifier using the
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.
CONNECTIONS OF 2.1 CONFIGURATION 6
Use the supplied loudspeaker cables to connect the speaker
outputs of your integrated stereo amplifier to the HIGH LE-
VEL INPUTS of the Santorin 21 M2, then connect the HIGH
LEVEL OUTPUTS of the Santorin 21 M2 to the terminals of
the eOle loudspeakers. ATTENTION: be assured that all “+”
inputs are effectively connected to “+” outputs as well as all
left outputs to left inputs.
SUBWOOFER ADjUSTING 7 :
Take care of positioning the sector switch 115V/230V on the
right position according to your country.
Connect the subwoofer to the mains and switch the power
button to «ON».
CROSSOVER : adjust the potentiometer on 140 Hz for 2.1
configuration and 200 Hz for the 5.1one.
VOLUME : the adjustment of the volume will depend
upon room positioning, type of amplifiers… With Eole 3
SYSTEM the average position is on a “11 AM” position.
For an optimum adjustment of the volume, we advise you
to carry out it starting from a stereo source (CD). Then use
the TEST TONE of your AV amplifier to adjust the level of
channel SUBWOOFER/LFE.
PhASE : usually it is necessary to position the potentiometer
on 0°, however 2 positions can be used 0° and 180 °.
- adjust the potentiometer on 0° when the subwoofer and
the front speakers are positioned at the same distance of the
listening area.
- adjust the potentiometer on 180° when the subwoofer is
positioned 5 ft (1.5m) ahead or behind the front speakers.
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.
SETTING UP
ThE COMPONENTS OF YOUR SYSTEM
1 :
5 Eole 3 speakers with magnetic cups for use on bookshelf
and on wall, 2 stands.
1 Santorin 21 M2 active subwoofer with its 4 spikes,
1 CINCH cable, 5 loudspeaker cables (3 x 6 m /
20 ft - 2 x 12 m / 40 ft).
The Eole 3 speaker can be placed on a shelf 2 , fixed on a
wall 3 or fixed on a stand 4 .
POSITIONNING 5 :
Eole 3 speakers have all the same technical features; they
can be used on any channel. All the speakers are magneti-
cally shielded to prevent interference with the image of your
television set; they can thus be placed near any screen.
No solid object or piece of furniture should be placed
between the speakers and the listener.
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.
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 per-
fect cohesion and precision between dialogues and picture.
Surround speakers should be placed against the side walls,
at listening height or higher if possible and slightly behind
the listening area.
The Santorin 21 M2 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.
CAUtion ! Handle with care the 23.5 lb (11.5 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.
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 set-
ting in phase by connecting the terminals +/red of the AV amplifier to
the terminal +/red of the speakers. Proceed then in the same way for
terminals -/black.
CAUtion ! To prevent the risks of electric shock take care
to completely insert plugs of mains cords.

ting.
