Cabasse SANTORIN 30 - Manual (Page 12)

e n g l i s h
A) PARAMETERS ADJUSTABLE ONLY BY MEAN OF THE FRONT
PANEL :
- SOURCE : selection of the type of input/output being used :
■ RCA+HL: RCA “LOW LEVEL INPUTS” inputs and
« HIGH LEVEL INPUTS » ( speaker cable terminals). These 2
types of inputs can be used simultaneously depending on
configuration.
■ XLR : XLR inputs
- CHANNELS : selection of the input channels being used :
■ R : right channel
■ L : left channel
■ R+L : right and left channels
- VOLUME : adjustment of the subwoofer sound level, -30 dB to +6
dB, pressing the “+” and “-“ keys in 1 dB increments.
- LOW PASS FILTER: adjustment of the subwoofer’s low-pass frequen-
cy, 30 Hz to 200 Hz, pressing the “+” and “-“ keys in 1 dB increments.
- PHASE: setting of phase of the subwoofer output signal, 0 to 180
degrees, pressing the “+” and “-“ keys in 1 dB increments.
- AUTO ACQUISITION: automatic setting of the subwoofer parametric
filters. It requires the use of the microphone and the microphone pream-
plifier delivered with the Santorin 30.
- PARAMETRIC 1 – PARAMETRIC 2 – PARAMETRIC 3: these 3 para-
metric modules allow the room adaptation of the subwoofer response
in order to decrease the acoustical defaults of the listening room in low
frequencies. They can either be activated manually or with the AUTO
ACQUISITION process.
The manual setting implies the adjustment of the following parameters
listed in the “PARAMETRIC 1 – PARAMETRIC 2 – PARAMETRIC 3 “sec-
tions:
■ CENTER: it determines the middle frequency of the correction: it is
adjustable between 30 and 200 Hz in 1 dB increments.
■ BAND WIDTH: width of the correction, from 1/8 of an octave up
to 2 (16/8) octaves in 1/8 of an octave increments.
■ GAIN: intensity of the correction, adjustable from -12 dB to +4 dB
in 1 dB increments.
- POWER : Power management
■ ON: the subwoofer is ready for activation either by pressing down
the “POWER” key on the remote control or by pressing down any key of
the front panel.
■ OFF: the subwoofer is no longer activated. Activation requires to posi-
tion the POWER section on “ON” or “AUTO”
■ AUTO: automatic power management with activation of the sub-
woofer when audio signal is received by the subwoofer. This is the set-
ting we advise to be used after the correct setup has been achieved. The
remote control can be stored until new setting becomes necessary.
- DELAY: compensation of the time delay when the subwoofer is placed
between the listening spot and the main speakers. It is adjustable bet-
ween 0 and 6.8 meters in 0.34 meter increments.
B) PARAMETERS ADJUSTABLE WITH THE FRONT PANNEL AND/OR
THE REMOTE CONTROL
- POWER : on and off switch of the subwoofer
- MUTE :
■ MUTE ON : the sound signal is cut off, the subwoofer remains
powered and all the parameters can be adjusted.
■ MUTE OFF: the subwoofer is on play mode
- PRESET 1, PRESET 2, PRESET 3: access to the end-user presets
- DISPLAY : Screen display : press this key to switch on or off the LCD dis-
play
REMOTE CONTROL KEYBOARD :
- POWER (RC1) : subwoofer’s power switch
- MUTE (RC2) :
■
MUTE ON: the sound signal is cut off, the subwoofer remains
powered and all the parameters can be adjusted.
■ MUTE OFF: the subwoofer is on play mode.
- PRESET 1, PRESET 2, PRESET 3 (RC4,RC5,RC6) : activation of the end-
user presets
- DISPLAY (RC7): Screen display : press this key to switch on or off the
LCD display
II) CONNECTIONS AND CONFIGURATION :
The Santorin 30 has been designed for optimum results in almost eve-
ry audio and video application. These are the instructions for the main
domestic configurations:
2.1 CONFIGURATION : 2 satellites + 1 Santorin connected to a ste-
reo amplifier
Connect the right (R) and left (L) HI LEVEL inputs of the Santo-
rin to the loudspeakers’ output terminals of your amplifier with loud-
speaker cable. Be careful not to invert polarity and/or channels, the red
(+) terminals of the amplifier must be connected to the red (+) terminals
of the amplifier, and right amplifier’s output to the right inputs of the
subwoofer.
Connect the right (R) and left (L) HI LEVEL outputs of the San-
torin to the terminals of both satellite speakers. Respect polarities
and left and right when connecting the speaker cable between the
subwoofer and the satellites.
Connect the Santorin 30 to the mains and power it on.
Set the « SOURCE » and « CHANNELS » parameters as follow:
SOURCE = RCA + HL
CHANNELS = R+L
5.1 CONFIGURATION: 5 loudspeakers + 1 Santorin connected to an
AV-amplifier
Connect either the right(R) or the left (L) LOW LEVEL INPUT (A7) of
the subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER / LFE output with an RCA/RCA
cable. If the amplifier or preamplifier is also fitted with a XLR output
for SUBWOOFER/LFE we advise to choose it and connect it to one of
the (A6) BALANCED INPUTS of the Santorin 30.
Connect the Santorin 30 to the mains and power it on.
Set the « SOURCE » et « CHANNELS » parameters as follow :
■ SOURCE = RCA + HL or XLR if BALANCED INPUT is being used
■ CHANNELS = R or L
III) SANTORIN SET-UP PROCEDURE
Once the above connections have been fully done and the subwoofer
connected to the mains and switched on and activated with the
“POWER” of the remote control or any of the front keys, proceed to the
following set-ups using the front panel of the subwoofer.
A5
A4
A6
A7
A5
Attention ! The subwoofer might hum in such a configuration, depen-
ding on the ground specs of the other components. If so, the problem is
cancelled by joining the electrical grounds of the subwoofer and the
preamplifier with a RCA-RCA cable connected to one of the RCA inputs
of the subwoofer and to one available RCA input of the preamplifier.
