Welcome
The Ensémble is a portable speaker used by professional presenters. This includes sales
people, health care professionals, fire and rescue, personal development, law enforcement, the
military and many other professionals in the presentation, training, and development fields. The
Ensémble is the smallest and lightest, most powerful speaker made anywhere in the world. Its
small size and light weight make it ideal for the road warrior. It is also easy to stow away or lock
up securely to avoid theft.
The Ensémble outperforms other speaker systems many times its size and weight and is more
economical to own and easier to use.
This remarkable speaker only weighs 8 ounces yet contains a 3-input mixer for up to three devices.
These connections make it easy to switch between a microphone, projector, or iPAD®during the
presentation.
Group Listening Technology™
Using patented “Group Listening Technology”, the Ensémble is a high technology device that is
specifically engineered to make business meetings more productive. The sound it creates is heard
the same and understood by everyone in the room regardless of where they are seated. This
technology makes speech more easily understood and audiences more relaxed and focused on
the presentation.
The Ensémble is the only portable powered speaker that allows the listeners freedom of position
within the room without loss of sound quality.
Designed like no other, the Ensémble takes the worry out of presentations and you can rest
assured that every one can hear you and also understand you.

Classroom Seating
Normal classrooms of up to 90 people can use one speaker as long as all listeners are within 40 feet of the
Ensemble Speaker.
Auditorium Seating
Wide seating arrangements can use one Ensemble if all listeners are within forty feet of the Ensemble. If not,
just add another Ensémble Speaker.

System Instructions
1-1 There are three (3) source-input jacks on
the Ensémble speaker base that can use
either mono or stereo inputs depending
on your “source”, i.e., computer, VCR,
DVD, projectors, microphones, etc.
1-2 The Ensémble does not have an internal
volume control. Use the volume control
on your source or, if required, use the
in-line volume control included in this kit.
The right angle plug of the volume control
must be plugged into the “source”. Use
the male-to-male extension cable to finish
the connection to one of the Ensémble
inputs labeled A, B, or C. Additional diagrams on page 6.
1-3 If your source has a BASS BOOST, or special effects like Spatializer, SRS, or controls that
say JAZZ, ROCK, BLUES, etc., turn them off for now.
1-4 Turn the volume down low before making the power connection.
1-5 The Ensémble speaker requires power
from the Cetacea Sound Corp approved
“Power Adapter/Conditioner”. Plug the
power adapter into a suitable source
of 110-220v power and the opposite
small end into the base of the Ensémble
speaker. (It will only fit in one location.)
1-6 Turn on the source and slowly turn up the volume (on both the source and the in-line
volume control). Be sure to use a high quality recording to fully appreciate the awesome
sound of the speaker. Once you are satisfied with the sound, add additional sources to
the other input jacks so you can use them without changing connections every time.

Room Arrangements
Conference Rooms & Translations
The clarity of the Ensemble makes it easy for small groups to collectively listen to soft or poorly recorded sound
tracks. When used with a microphone it also makes it easy to understand people with language difficulties or
assist listeners with hearing difficulties.
Horseshoe Seating
The omni-directional clarity of the Ensemble makes it easy for small groups seated at angles or even with their
backs to the presenter to understand speech.
When used with a microphone it also makes it easy to understand people who are moving about the room to
assist with written tasks or workshop assignments.
Room Arrangements
Isolated Rooms & Distance Learning
A) Presenter in same room as audience.
B,C,D) Audience in overflow rooms or listening to video stream from Room A.
Courtrooms, Dispositions & Grand Jurys
