User manual FOCAL CUB 3

[. . . ] Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus. To completely disconnect this equipment from the mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the receptacle. [. . . ] Connect up the loudspeaker cables and re-fix the Sib onto its wall mounted base. User manual Sib&Cub 3 15 Connexion As with any performance product, Sib should be connected to the amplifier using a high quality pure copper cable of at least Ø 1. Connect the “+” from the amplifier to the “+” on the Sib (red) and the “-” from the amplifier to the “-” of the Sib (black). BASH® 150Wrms amplifier: high-performance digital amplification technology for high power and high quality sound. Auto on/standby system: the BASH® amplifier automatically switches on or off (standby). LFE direct input: direct mono input to connect to the subwoofer output of home theatre amplifiers. When the power control is set on auto-mode, the subwoofer will automatically switch on as soon as an audio signal is detected. When set to power on, the signal detector is disable and the subwoofer is continuously on. Conversely, if no signal is detected during a period of about 3 minutes, the detector automatically set the subwoofer to standby mode. If you expect not to use the subwoofer for a long period, it is recommended to set the power selector to “off”. A User manual Sib&Cub 3 17 Connections Low-level inputs on RCA When using a two-channel amplifier with pre-out line outputs, the Cub3 must be connected through RCA stereo inputs "line inputs Right/ Left" (fig. LFE input When using an audio/video multichannel amplifier, the single LFE input of the Cub3 should be connected to the mono "Subwoofer" output of the audio/video amplifier (fig. In that case, all controls of the Cub3 will be off, except the volume control. Considering the fact that the audio/video amplifier already features all the necessary functions, this configuration is recommended for home theatre use only. L R L R Pre-out B Subwoofer C User manual Sib&cub 3 18 Positioning Contrary to conventional high fidelity loudspeakers which have to be placed at a reasonable distance from walls and the listening area corners, we advise you to place your Cub3 subwoofer in a corner of the listening area. If the subwoofer is placed against only one wall or too far from the walls, the very large wavelength of the bass delivered by the subwoofer will excite the resonance of the listening room in an unpredictable way. Frequency response linearity will then be damaged and therefore the sound rendition will be affected (lack of depth, “boomy sound”, poor bass, difficult or impossible coupling with the other used loudspeakers). If you put the Cub3 in a corner, the resonant frequencies of the room will be more linear and predictable. [. . . ] Guarantee cover extends at least to that granted by the legal guarantee in force in the country where the original purchase invoice was issued. Your Focal-JMlab product was developed and manufactured with high-quality materials and components which can be recycled and/or re-used. This symbol indicates that electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from normal garbage at the end of its operational lifetime. [. . . ]
