Cabasse Ki System - Manual (Page 8)

INSTALL ATION
The components of your system:
■ 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7 Ki speakers
■ 1 Thor II Cabasse active subwoofer
Ki speaker on wall/base version
The wall mountable version of the Ki requires 2 screws to be
positioned on a wall, either in a vertical position
1
or in a hori-
zontal position
2
. The base of this version is also designed for
the Ki speaker to be positioned horizontally on furniture such
as bookshelf
3
. On the wall, either in vertical or in horizon-
tal position, the base offers you 2 ways for Ki speaker posi-
tioning in order to get the best direction
4
:
■ 30° position
■ perpendicular from the wall
Ki TV speaker on wall/base version
This shielded version must be used when the speaker is next to
or on top of a TV-set.
Floor standing Ki speaker
The stand version is supplied with adjustable spikes for a per-
fect stability even if the floor is not horizontal.
Positioning of Ki SYSTEM
Positioning of the speakers: if possible, try to match with the
5 drawing, with the Thor II subwoofer in the front area 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 neces-
sary to carry out tests according to the acoustics of the room.
Warning ! On some sensitive TV-sets, the magnetic shielding
of the Ki TV speaker might not be effective enough because of the radia-
tions throughout the diaphragm of the tweeter. You should then place the
Ki TV speaker 10 cm away from the top of the TV.
CONNECTIONS
It is imperative to respect the correct phasing when connecting:
+ to + red and - to - black.

e n g l i s h
With Ki SYSTEM, Cabasse proposes a Hi Fi / audio video system based on the Spatially
Coherent System (SCS) principles coming from our high end ARTIS range of speakers.
With these 3-ways speakers combined with a Thor II Cabasse active subwoofer, you can get a
very high quality system, either in a 2.1 configuration (standard stereo) or in a 5.1 configura-
tion (5 channels system) or 6.1 or 7.1...
The Thor II Cabasse subwoofer is dedicated to Ki SYSTEM.
