Positioning
the
BP
8s in
Your
Room
It
is
important, because
of
the BP 8B's unique bipolar (front and rear)radiation
pattern, that some simple set-up recommendations be
foil
owed in
order
to assure
optimum performance in your room. Please rememberthat although these recom-
mendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening set-ups
are
somewhat unique,
so do not be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whatever sounds
best to you
is
correct.
In most rooms the speakers should be placed 6 to
12
inches from the rear wall in
ocder
to
allow the rear radiated sound
to
freely reflect off the back wall. Placement
closer to the rear wall
will
increase the bass output while placement further from the
rear wall
will
decrease the bass output.
The speakers should usually be placed 6
to
8 feet
apart
and kept away from the
side walls and corners. A good rule of thumb
is
to place the speakers separated by
one half the length of the wall they are positioned along, and each speaker one quar-
terthe length of the back wall away from the side wall.
Speakers may be angled in towards the listening position
or
left parallel with the
rear wall. Generally,
we
recommend angling the speakers in which will result in a
some what brighter, clearer, more detailed sound with a more focused central image.
Leay ing the speakers parallel with the wall
will
result in a less bright, more diffuse
sound. Try
to
leave the space on the sides of the speakers as open and as unobstruct-
ed as possible
so
that there
will
be no interference with the
rear
radiated sound.
The BP
8B
can also be used as an exceptional rear
or
side surround effects speaker
in home theater installations. When used as a side speaker, locate the BP
8B
behind
and to the sides of the listeners. When used as a rear speaker, the BP
8Bs
can be
located 6-12" from the rear wall and pointed towards the listeners,
or
placed sideways
on the rear wall with the drivers facing
at
each other and towards the side walls.
