• Installation & Use Tips

Source Connections

All Cetacea speakers can be hooked up to a variety of different A/V devices using stereo or mono speaker cables with 3.5 mm mini jacks. Common devices include: projectors, DVD/VCR's, microphones, whiteboards, and portable music players (iPod®). Refer to your product's Quick Start Guide for input specifications and hookup diagrams.

• The Astronaut and Ensémble speakers have a built-in 3-channel mixer which accepts up to 3 simultaneous devices (A, B, C channels).
• Do not connect 3rd party amplifiers to Cetacea powered speakers as they could overdrive the speakers, causing distortion or premature failure.
• Most fixed and variable line outputs are suitable sources. If distortion or other audible noise is detected, make sure the source is functioning and any applicable software is set up correctly.
• Stereo connections: Max input voltage should not exceed 300mv per input channel.

• Mono connections: Max input voltage should not exceed 150mv per input channel. Cetacea speakers require line level, not microphone level inputs.
• When connecting to a fixed line output, a separate attenuator must be purchased to adjust volume. There is no remote volume control for the Ensémble or Astronaut products.
• Always plug AC power in last after plugging in all source cables.
• Observe all audio 101 installation standards when routing cables across a ceiling. For instance, do not lay source cables parallel to power cables or place them too close to fluorescent light ballasts. This may cause unwanted noise or hum
