QUICK PLUG & PLAY
Place the STREAM AMP on a solid shelf
close to a mains plug, with enough available
headroom above, under and around, for the
optimum efciency of the Bluetooth and
WIFI antennas and proper ventilation of the
amplier.
Connect 2 or 4 loudspeakers to the
STREAM AMP. For a single pair of
loudspeakers, use SP1 (right speaker) and SP2
(left speaker) binding posts.
CAUTION: be assured that all “+” inputs are
effectively connected to “+” outputs as well as
all left outputs to left inputs.
Impedance range selector:
Position “I” (factory preset): power output is 2
x 50 W or 4 x 25 W RMS for loudspeakers with
a minimum impedance value below 6.4 ohms.
It goes down to 2 x 25 W and 4 x 12.5 W for
loudspeakers with minimum impedance value
above (or equal to) 6.4 ohms.
Position “II” : use this position to get 2 x 50 W
or 4 x 25 W RMS with minimum impedance value above (or equal to) 6.4 ohms, for instance
Cabasse Antigua IW or Archipel models.
Connect the power cable to the STREAM AMP, plug it to the mains and position the POWER
ON/OFF switch on "ON". STREAM AMP is ready to play when the LED
1
turns on. Press key
1
either on the STREAM AMP or the remote to get STREAM AMP on.
NOTE: the DLNA mode of STREAM AMP is available when the PWR (Power) LED has turned
from red to green, around 40 seconds after powering on the STREAM AMP.

LAN WIRE CONNECTION TO THE ETHERNET NETWORK
The LAN wire connection ensures a constant and optimum transfer rate. Use it if music reproduction
stops or is erratic under Wi-Fi mode, because of a saturated Wi-Fi bandwidth or the distance between
the router and the Stream unit being too long.
Use a RJ45 type cable to connect STREAM AMP to the domestic router.
The connection is running when the blue LED “ETH” stops ashing and remains on.
ATTENTION: set up the router on DHCP mode.
Press "RESET" before starting a new
connection process (wired, auto, easy,
manual) or connecting to a new router.
WIFI DIRECT MODE
Wi-Fi direct allows to play with wi quality all the audio tracks available in the tablet or the smartphone
as well as those availble in the hard-disk or USB-stick connect to the USB input of STREAM AMP,
without need of a wi network. Internet sources such as Vtuner, Deezer and the STREAM AMP rmware
updates are not available.
Activate the STREAM AMP, Install and open the Cabasse app on your tablet/smartphone and select
"Use this device in standalone mode" instead of "congure this audio device". Follow the instructions
and start playing your music.
