LINEA operating instructions
INSTALLATION
The components of your system:
- 2, 3, 5 (with eventually other ALTURA speakers), 6 or 7 LINEA
- 1 or 2 LARGO Cabasse active subwoofer
- 1 Max Cabasse module if the processor of your audio video
amplifier doesn't include a 2.1 set-up (subwoofer for stereo
reproduction)
LINEA speaker on base plinth version
The wall mountable version of the LINEA requires 2 brackets
to be positioned on a wall, either in a vertical position (A) or
a horizontal position (B). The two pins -silent block- allows the
LINEA speaker to be positioned horizontally on/below a TV or
on a furniture such as bookshelf (C).
For vertical positioning on a bookshelf, use the supplied base
(D)
Floorstanding LINEA
The stand version is supplied with adjustable spikes for a per-
fect stability even if the floor is not horizontal.
Positioning of LINEA SYSTEM
Positioning of the speakers: if possible, try to match with the
drawing, with the LARGO subwoofer in the front area
S2
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.
Attention, on some sensitive TV-sets, the magnetic shielding of
the LINEA TV speaker might not be effective enough because
of the radiations throughout the diaphragm of the tweeter.
You should then place the LINEA TV speaker 10 cm away from
the top of the TV.
CONNECTIONS
S1
It is imperative to respect the correct phasing when connecting:
+ to + red and - to - black.
Configuration 2.1
S3
2 LINEA speakers + 1 LARGO subwoofer
Connect with speaker cables the amplifier outputs to the terminals
HIGH LEVEL INPUT L (left) and HIGH LEVEL INPUT R (right) of
the LARGO subwoofer and connect the outputs HIGH LEVEL
OUTPUT L (left) and HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT R (right) of the LAR-
GO subwoofer to the LINEA speakers inputs.
Configuration 5.1
S4
5 LINEA speakers + 1 LARGO Subwoofer or 2 main speakers
+ 3 LINEA speakers + 1 LARGO subwoofer
When the processor of your audio video amplifier includes a
2.1 set-up (subwoofer for stereo reproduction), connect each
speaker output of the 5.1 amplifier directly to the matching
LINEA speaker (front right, front left, centre, surround...).
Connect the subwoofer CINCH RCA output of the amplifier to
one of the CINCH-RCA LINE IN terminals of the LARGO sub-
woofer.
Then adjusts the set-up menu of your audio video amplifier:

YES
If your audio video has an adjustable crossover frequency, the
adjustement will be 80 Hz.
Configuration 5.1
with the Max Cabasse module
The processor of some audio video amplifiers doesn't include
a 2.1 setup (subwoofer for stereo reproduction), in this case
you will need a Max Cabasse module (available separately).
Connect 2 sets of inputs of the Max Cabasse module to the
speaker outputs L/left and R/right of the audio video amplifier,
in parallel with the speaker cables connected to the LINEA
speakers. The 2 inputs can be connected to any main speaker
outputs of the audio video amplifier, but be very careful in
not mixing polarities: always connect + to + (or red to red and
