FUNCTIONS

SMART DIGITAL DISPLAY

FIRST USE
Connect your speaker to the mains with the proper power cord. Your speaker is operational as soon as the LED on the left of the rear panel opposite is lit in solid blue. A voice announcement, if the volume of your speaker is not at a minimum, indicates the status of the network connection: in progress, success, fail.

COLOR CODES OF THE STATUS LED

• CYAN DLNA input: wifi, Ethernet, domestic streaming , internet streaming, AirPlay
• GREEN Spotify Connect
• WHITE Aux In Input
• YELLOW Optical input
• BLUE Bluetooth input
• RED (flashing) Connexion to network failed
• PURPLE Automatic calibration running + Update in progress

WIRED AND NON-WIRED INPUTS

POWER BUTTON
The On/off button located on the back of the device allows you to switch on or off your amplifier.

ANALOG INPUT
This input can be connected to an audio source (CD player, MP3 player, smartphone, TV) equipped with an analog output RCA. Use RCA / RCA cord / RCA cord (not included)

USB INPUT
This input is only useful for use in Wi-Fi / Ethernet mode (paragraphs 4,5,6 below). Connect a USB stick or hard drive containing audio files to this input to automatically network them. All files in formats recognized by the DLNA server are then listed in the Stream Audio Control application and can be read by all Cabasse Stream players connected to the same network. The USB socket has a 5V – 1A DC power supply for use with a portable hard drive without external power supply.

BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

1. Once the speaker is on, press the “Pairing” button on the back
2. The “Pairing” LED on the back should flash
3. Activate Bluetooth on your mobile
4. Select “ABYSS” from the list of available devices
5. Once the connection is successful, the LED “Pairing” on the back stops flashing

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

1. Install the Cabasse Stream CONTROL App on your tablet / smartphone from “Play Store” for an Android device, or “App Store” for an Apple product.
2. Open the application and follow the tutorial
3. Follow the instructions and upon request select the wi-fi network to be used and enter the network password.
4. Start listening to your favorite music from your smartphone, key or hard drive connected to THE device’s USB input, or using sources connected to its analog input or optical input. The sources connected to the analog and optical inputs of the device can be played by all the other Stream devices belonging to the same zone.

STREAM CONTROL APPLICATION

Open the Cabasse StreamCONTROL application and launch the tutorial to discover the main features of the application.

USE / SYNCHRONIZE WITH A TV SET

MODE TV

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 thebandwidth. 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.
