The components of your system:

CONNECTIONS

It is imperative to respect the correct phasing when connecting: + to + red and - to - black.
2, 3, 5, 6 or 7 Ki speakers 1 Thor II Cabasse active subwoofer
Configuration 2.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 horizontal 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 horizontal position, the base offers you 2 ways for Ki speaker positioning in order to get the best direction 4: 30 position perpendicular from the wall
2 Ki speakers + 1 Thor II subwoofer
Connect with speaker cables the amplifier outputs to the terminals HIGH LEVEL INPUT L (left) and HIGH LEVEL INPUT R (right) of the Thor II subwoofer and connect the outputs HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT L (left) and HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT R (right) of the Thor II subwoofer to the Ki speakers inputs 7.
5 Ki speakers + 1 Thor II subwoofer or 2 main speakers + 3 Ki speakers + 1 Thor II subwoofer
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 perfect stability even if the floor is not horizontal.
When the processor of your audio video amplifier includes a 2.1 set-up (subwoofer for stereo reproduction), connect each speaker output of the 5.1 amplifier directly to the matching Ki speaker (front right, front left, centre, surround.). Connect the subwoofer CINCH RCA output of the amplifier to one of the CINCH RCA LINE IN terminals of the Thor II subwoofer 9. Then adjust the set-up menu of your audio video amplifier:
5 Ki speakers + 1 Thor II subwoofer FRONT CENTER SURROUND SUBWOOFER / LFE SMALL SMALL SMALL YES

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 necessary 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 radiations throughout the diaphragm of the tweeter. You should then place the Ki TV speaker 10 cm away from the top of the TV.

INSTALLATION
With a crossover point below or around 150 Hz, the installation position of subwoofers is not limited as human ears and brains are not able to identify the emitting point of such low frequencies. To get the best result, it is recommended to try different positions and choose the one giving the best response in the low frequencies, taking into account the room acoustics. - CROSSOVER FREQUENCY (9) This potentiometer adjusts the cut-off frequency which determines the working bandwidth of the subwoofer. This adjustment should be done according to the specifications of the main speakers and the room acoustics. Choose the best frequency after various listening tests. - PHASE (11) For a better sound integration of the subwoofer in the main system, the PHASE (11) of the subwoofer might have to be inverted (180 position), depending on the distance between the subwoofer and the main speakers. You have to check the PHASE (11) each time you move your speakers and each time you adjust the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY (9). Attention, if you use 2 subwoofers, both phase switches must be on the same position.

HOOKING UP THE SYSTEM

2 possibilities are offered to connect the subwoofer with your system: - the low level one requiring the use of the CINCH RCA LINE IN (7) and LINE OUT (6) terminals and shielded coaxial connectors, - the high level one requiring the use of the speaker HI LEVEL INPUT (5) and HI LEVEL OUTPUT (4) terminals, and standard loudspeaker cables. The inputs are stereo ones, the mix of the L (left) and R (right) low frequencies being done by the amplifier of the subwoofer. If the input signal is already mono, only one input L (left) or R (right) should be used. 2.1 Interconnections with the CINCH RCA connectors - Connections to the LINE IN (7) connectors If your preamplifier or your integrated amplifier is fitted with a stereo low-level output, then connect its L (left) and R (right) outputs to the L (left) and R (right) LINE IN (7) inputs of the subwoofer. If your amplifier offers a one mono output, connect it to either the L (left) or the R (right) subwoofer LINE IN (7) inputs. - Connections from the LINE OUT (6) connectors The signal from the L (left) and R (right) LINE OUT (6) plugs is the one being brought in by the L (left) and R (right) LINE IN connectors filtered at 80 Hz. These outputs can thus be used to bring the signal to the amplifier powering the main loudspeaker. 2.2 Interconnections with the speaker terminals - Connections to the HI LEVEL INPUT (5) plugs If the preamp section of your Hi-Fi or audio-video system is not fitted with a lowlevel output, you should then connect the subwoofer by using its loudspeaker terminals. When connecting the L (left) and R (right) speaker outputs of your amplifier to the HI LEVEL INPUT (5) plugs of the subwoofer, be careful not to cross (-) and (+) cord of either L (left) or R (right) channel. Such a phase inversion might damage your main amplifier. - Connections from the HI LEVEL OUTPUT (4) plugs These outputs can be used to bring the signal to the main loudspeaker systems or to a second subwoofer in a parallel mono configuration. In the last lay-out, the L (left) and R (right) HI LEVEL OUTPUT (4) terminals must be connected to the L (left) and R (right) HI LEVEL INPUT (5) ones of the second subwoofer. The input signal must then arrive into the first subwoofer by its L (left) and R (right) HI LEVEL INPUT (5) terminals. The signal from the L (left) and R (right) HI LEVEL OUTPUT (4) plugs, filtered at 200 Hz is the one being brought in by the HI LEVEL INPUT (5) connectors. These outputs can thus be used to bring the signal to the main loudspeaker systems. 2.3 Power supply The AC IN (3) cord must be connected to the mains to supply the subwoofer. The selection of the right voltage 115 V - 230 V is done with the selector 150 V - 230 V (2). Switch POWER (1), on AUTO or ON. With the switch on the AUTO position, the unit will mute after a few minutes without input signal. The system turns on automatically when signal comes back. Attention, before operating the unit, be sure that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with that of your local power voltage. 2.4 Adjustments - LEVEL (10) For a first volume adjustment, position the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY (9) at around 120 Hz, and turn slowly the volume LEVEL (10) clockwise from minimum level up to a position where you feel that the subwoofer sound level is appropriate. A check of the level adjustment will be necessary after following steps.
