distance from the listener as the main speakers.
The rear speakers or surround should be placed against the
■
side walls, at listening height. They should not be positioned
far behind the listening zone.
The subwoofer should be placed in the front listening area,
■
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.
Your AV processor enables the adjustment in level and delay of
each of the 5/6/7 channels of your system. Fine-tuning is neces-
sary to obtain a perfect sound stage.
Turn off all the amplifiers before interconnecting them to the
loudspeakers. In order to connect loudspeakers properly, it is
most important to keep in mind the following two factors:
cable section and phase.
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 correct cable gauge, follow
diagram.

WBT connectors
Cabasse has selected for Karissima the best connectors avai-
lable. Reliable and sturdy, they provide an optimum electrical
interconnection with bare wire, banana plugs or spades. When
bare wires or spades are being used, each binding post must
be nicely clockwise tighten before turning the amplifiers on.
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

cation sheets, advertising materials and manuals without prior notice.
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.
Single wiring and bi-wiring
When the Karissima are used single wired, with one set of
speaker cable between the amplifier and each loudspeaker sys-
tem, the supplied bridges must be on and nicely tightened for
a good contact
