Thank you very much for choosing Cabasse speakers.
Please read carefully these instructions before setting up your speakers.
Explanation of graphical
symbols - The lightning flash
with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert you
to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufcient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert you to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the lite-
rature accompanying the appliance.
Instructions - Carefully read through all the safety and ope-
rating instructions before switching on any device for the rst

used only with a cart or stand that is recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
> Portable cart warning
Installation on a piece of furniture and stands - Do
not place this device on an unsteady surface, i.e. a stand, tri-
pod, table, shelf, etc. It may fall and cause serious injury to a
nearby child or adult.
Ventilation outlets - The device shall not be placed in a
position that restrains the operation of its fans. Avoid ins-
talling the device on a bed, couch, blanket or other similar
surfaces that may prevent the appropriate air ow. Do not
install the device in a conned space, such as a book shelf or
other piece of furniture, that could prevent sufcient air from
owing freely.
Power - The device shall only be connected to a source of
power compliant to the one described in this manual or on
relevant printed labels on the product. If you are not sure of
the type of power available, please contact your reseller or the
local power company.
Power cords - The power cords must be laid out in such
a way that they cannot be walked on, pinched, bent under
other devices. Also pay special attention to the matching of
the plugs and the connection of the cord to the device.
Lightning - For better protection against lightning or if the
device must remain unused for long stretches of time, unplug
the power cord and antenna jack. This minimizes potential
damages due to lightning or line surges.
Overloads - Avoid overloading the power plugs, extension
cords or power relays. This could result in re or electric
shocks.
Foreign bodies and liquids - Avoid letting foreign mate-
rials or liquids enter the device. They could cause re or elec-
tric shocks. Never spill any liquid on the device.
Maintenance - Users must never attempt to maintain the
device on their own, except for those maintenance operations
described in this manual. Any task beyond regular user main-
tenance must be performed by qualied service operators.

power supply and have it checked by a qualied technician if:
The power supply or the plug is damaged.
Foreign bodies or liquid penetrated the device.
The device was exposed to dripping or splashing.
The device does not seem to work correctly under normal
operating conditions. Only operate the controls described
in this manual. Any other operation could damage the de-
vice and require on-site visit of a qualied technician.
The device has fallen or its housing is damaged.
The performances of the device are strongly altered.
Spare parts - If spare parts are needed to repair the device,
make sure that the technician followed the manufacturer’s re-
commendations or that the replacing parts feature the same
specications as the original ones. Non-compliant parts can
result in multiple damages, including re or electric shocks.
Checks - After any servicing of the device, ask the technician
to perform appropriate testing to make sure that the device
works safely.
Exposure to high temperatures - The device should be
kept away from heating sources, such as radiators, heaters,
ampliers or any other similar item likely to make the opera-
ting temperature rise excessively.
Applicable for USA, Canada or where approved for usage
Caution ! To prevent electric shock, match wide blade plug to wide
slot, insert fully.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
With the Alcyone 2 SYSTEM, Cabasse proposes a 5.1 audio
video system based on the Spatially Coherent Source (SCS)
principles coming from our high end ARTIS range of speakers.
With these 2-way speakers combined with a Alcyone 2 active
subwoofer, you can get a very high quality system, in a 5.1
conguration (5 channels system).

CONNECTIONS
6
+
2 bis
Connect the LINE INPUT terminal of the subwoofer to the
output SUBWOOFER/LFE of the AV amplier using the
CINCH cable.
Check all the connections carried out on the speakers, the
subwoofer and the amplier. Ensure that each speaker is
connected according to its position in the room. Check that
all the speakers are well in phase (+/red in +/red and -/black
in - /black). Once this checking made you can connect your
amplier and the subwoofer to the sector.
SUBWOOFER ADJUSTING
7
:
POWER MANAGEMENT
7
:
Take care of positioning the sector switch 110V/220V on the
right position according to your country.
The switch ON/OFF (located on the back) of the subwoofer
has 2 positions:
AUTO : Automatic, the system is put automatically on ON
or OFF according to the presence of signal coming from
the AV amplier. Put the switch ON/OFF on AUTO or ON
position.
OFF
SUBWOOFER VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
7
:
The adjustment of the volume will depend upon room
positioning, type of ampliers… With Alcyone 2 SYSTEM
the average position of the LEVEL potentiometer is on a
“2 o’clock” position. For an optimum adjustment of the
volume, we advise you to carry out it starting from a stereo
source (CD). Then use the TEST TONE of your AV amplier
to adjust the level of channel SUBWOOFER/LFE.
UNPACKING
Open carton aps; leave one by one all the components. If
the speakers or the subwoofer appear damaged, do not use
them. Repack everything in the original packing and contact
your authorized Cabasse dealer immediately. We suggest you
to retain the packing for future use.

POSITIONNING
5
:
Alcyone 2 speakers have all the same technical features; they
can be used on any channel. All the speakers are magneti-
cally shielded to prevent interference with the image of your
television set; they can thus be placed near any screen.
No solid object or piece of furniture should be placed
between the speakers and the listener.
Front left and right speakers must be directed towards the
listening area and placed on either side of the screen with
at least a distance of 7 ft and 16 ft (2 and 5 m) between
the 2 speakers.
The centre satellite should be placed as close as possible
to the screen: on the top, below, or directly on your televi-
sion set. Place the satellite at the vertical of the screen for
a perfect cohesion and precision between dialogues and
picture.
Surround speakers should be placed against the side walls,
at listening height or higher if possible and slightly behind
the listening area.
The Alcyone 2 subwoofer should be placed in the front
listening area, with the 4 spikes on. If the oor is fragile
(wood, marble...) use the 4 cups delivered with the spikes.
To get the best result, it is always necessary to carry out
tests according to the acoustics of the room. To prevent in-
terference with the screen of your television set, place the
subwoofer at least 2 ft (0.6m) of your television set.
CAUTION ! Handle with care the 22 lb (10 kg) of the
subwoofer. Use good lifting practice to avoid injury.
CAUTION ! To avoid electric shock or fire hazards, do not expose
speakers to rain or moisture.
CAUTION ! To avoid danger of suffocation keep the plastic bags that
wrap these speakers out of the reach of children.
CAUTION ! Before making any connection turn off your
AV amplifier and unplug it from the outlet. Not doing so
may result in damage to your system.
CAUTION ! It is imperative before any connection to respect the set-
ting in phase by connecting the terminals +/red of the AV amplifier to
the terminal +/red of the speakers. Proceed then in the same way for
terminals -/black.
CAUTION ! To prevent the risks of electric shock take care
to completely insert plugs of sector cords.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have a problem with your Alcyone 2 SYSTEM, turn off
your sound source and try the solutions below. If you still
have a problem, contact your Cabasse dealer to arrange for
service.
Problems Solutions
The system does not
function at all
• Make sure the amplier and the subwoo-
fer plugged into an operating AC wall
outlet and that the subwoofer is turned
ON or AUTO.
• Be sure that the right source is selec-
ted on the amplier (video, CD, DVD,
tuner…).
• Check the speaker connections.
• Turn the subwoofer on ON or AUTO.
• For digital sound, be sure a coaxial or
optical cable connects the digital output
of the DVD player with the digital input
of your amplier..
Not enough or
too much bass
• Move the subwoofer closer to a wall
or a corner to increase very low bass
frequencies.
• Move it farther away from a wall or a cor-
ner to decrease very low bass frequencies.
• Adjust the LFE level control of your AV
amplier
No surround sound • Check that the adjustments of your AV
amplier are correct.
CLEANING THE SPEAKERS
The cabinets of Alcyone 2 speakers may be cleaned with a
soft damp cloth. Do not use any sprays near the system or
allow liquids to spill into any openings. Also, do not use any
solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol,
ammonia, or abrasives.
The grill assemblies on the speakers may be carefully vacuu-
med, if necessary. Please note that the drivers are located di-
rectly behind the grille cloth, and are easily damaged if reaso-
nable care is not taken.
