SPEAKER OUTPUT
Min 4 Ohms WIRE CONNECTION (LAN) TO THE ETHERNET NETWORK
The wired Ethernet connection guarantees an optimum and constant transfer rate
in any environment. Use this if Wi-Fi mode operation shows untimely cuts or
stops of music, signs of a saturated Wi-Fi network, or too much router-to-
stream distance.
Connect an RJ45 cable between the speaker and your router (or Box Internet).
The connection is established when the STATUS diode changes to solid blue. The
WIFI connection is then automatically disabled.
CAUTION: DHCP mode of the router must be enabled.
WARNING!
An update of software can start automatically as soon as an internet
connection is made.
The beginning and the end of the update are announced by voice.
Do not turn off or disconnect your speaker during updates that may require
several minutes.
WIRELESS DLNA CONNECTION (WLAN) TO WIFI NETWORK WITH THE CABASSE STREAM CONTROL APPLICATION
- Install the Cabasse Stream CONTROL App on your tablet / smartphone from “Play Store” for an Android device, or “App Store” for an Apple product.
- Open the application and follow the tutorial
- Follow the instructions and upon request select the wi-fi network to be used and enter the network password.

the main features of the application.
USE / SYNCHRONIZE WITH A TV SET
MODE TV
- Please connect the primary speaker to the TV with the TV cable, please connect the primary speaker to the secondary speaker with the optical cable.
- If you find latency between the picture and sound of your speakers, please try the time delay or audio synchronization feature of your TV set if available.
- If the TV icon does not appear on the primary speaker display, the TV connection is not found. Check your connections or replace the TV cable.
- With this connection, you can control the volume of your system via your TV remote control.
ADJUSTING THE LATENCY OF YOUR SPEAKERS
Choose the coaxial SPDIF solution.
There are 3 modes that will allow you to adapt the latency of your audio
system to your needs:
- TV/DIRECT: This mode does not use the network. The sound is broadcast directly from the audio input to the device. Therefore, the sound must be distributed to each device in the zone and all must have the same configuration.
- Low latency: This mode allows the streaming of one device to the others. The latency is less than 1 second, the stability of this setting will depend on the quality of the network and the bandwidth. If one of your devices cuts out, it is generally due to a lack of buffering data, a wired Ethernet connection is preferable to a wireless connection.
If this setting remains unstable, we advise you to configure the direct TV mode so as not to depend on your network.
DEACTIVATION OF THE SPEAKERS OF THE TELEVISION
Turn on the TV, open the TV menu, and look for a tab such as Audio, Sound or
Speakers. Use the menu function to switch off the TV speakers. This menu item
may for example be labeled «Speaker On / Off» for speakers on / off. If this
function does not exist, bring the TV sound volume with the TV remote control
to the minimum level.
ACTIVATION OF THE OPTICAL OUTPUT OF THE TELEVISION
If there is no sound with an optical connection, set the chosen optical output
in the TV menu if necessary.
