User manual

Thank you for choosing Focal-JMlab

Caché 200 loudspeakers. Benefiting from

over 20 years of experience in the

loudspeaker and drive units markets,

the Caché 200 products incorporate

many unique Focal-JMlab technologies.

The cone membranes of the drive units

employed use our Polyglass technology:

hollow microspheres of glass are deposited

onto the cone surface to give a natural

timbre free from coloration.

Combining precision, transient speed

and smoothness the inverted dome tweeter,

with its unrivalled mechanical coupling

between voice coil and dome, uses the latest

generation Tioxid 5 surface treatment to

optimise damping.

Perhaps most importantly of all,

in respect to the Caché 200 products,

is the unique Focal-JMlab wall boost equalization circuit. This equalization corrects the upper bass

boost resulting from in-wall placement that would otherwise cause an effect called "masking". By

correcting this effect, a deep tuneful bass and uncoloured upper bass are resolved.

Caution

To ensure optimal performance from your Caché 200 loudspeakers, we highly recommend that

installation is carried out by a professional. They will be able to advise on the best placement within

your listening environment and adjust your system to achive the highest possible sound quality.

Positioning

Your Caché 200 loudspeakers use an exclusive filtering process known as OPC (Optimum Phase

Crossover) guaranteeing a perfect stereo image and outstanding sound definition. Additionally, in order

to reduce the "wall effect" inherent to any built in speaker, we have developed a wall boost equalization

circuit which corrects this phenomenon and makes it easier to position your speakers to suit your

preferences.

Hi-fi configuration

The ideal position for your loudspeakers is at ear height or slightly above. For optimal stereo, ensure

that you conserve a minimum distance of 1.5m between the speakers (as shown in figures 2.1 and 2.2).

The ideal listening position is situated at the top of an isocele or equilateral triangle. In simple terms,

you should ensure that your listening distance from the speakers is not less than the distance between

the two speakers.

User manual User manual

Home theater configuration

The performance of a home theater system is determined by its location and set-up. In a well installed

and set-up system sound effects should follow the screen action to give a convincing impression of

"being there". To achieve this, you should observe the location diagram as shown in figure 2.3:

a - use of in-wall speakers for the surround effects sound

b - use of in-ceiling speakers for the surround effects sound

Center channel

Where a projection screen is being used, position the speaker behind this if it is a dedicated perforated

acoustically transparent screen or underneath if it is not.

The Caché products are not screened, so if you intend to use a conventional television to display your

video images, you should first test the safe distance between the loudspeaker and your specific television.

Modern plasma screens are not suseptable to magnetic radiation, so in this case it is recommended

that the center loudspeaker is positioned as close as possible for the best correlation between image and

sound.

Installation

1. This should be carried out after all of the cables have been fitted. We recommend that you use a

marked cable in order to conserve the polarity of the speakers (+/-).

2. Existing construction:

Cut the dry wall using the template supplied (please see diagram).

Be sure to check that this is perfectly vertical using a spirit level before

you begin cutting.

Check construction plans of your room to make sure that you are

not drilling into a pipe, an electrical cable or any other specialised

installations behind the wall.

New construction:

a. Use the dedicated Caché 200 mounting kit.

b. Route the connection cables before installing the plasterboard.

c. Ensure that the speakers are connected before installing them into the wall!

d. The loudspeaker is firmly fixed into the wall using a system of clamps.To achieve this, place the

speaker into the cut-out and tighten the fixing screws in a clockwise direction using the 3mm

hexagonal key.
