Connecting
Your
Loudspeakers
It
is
critical for proper perfonnance that all speakers (left, right, center and rear) be
connected in proper phase. Note that one tenninal on each speaker
(+) is colored red
and the other (-) is colored black. Please make certain that you connect the red
(+)
tenninal on each speaker to the red (+) tenninal
of
its channel on your amplifier or
receiver and the black (-) tenninal to the black (-) terminal.
It
is essential that all
speakers be connected in the same way to the amplifier (in phase).
If
you experience
a great lack
of
bass, it is likely that one speaker is out
of
phase with the others.
Usually
if
distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven
at
loud levels,
it
is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud
and
not by driving the speakers with more power
than
they can handle.
Remember, most amplifiers
put
out their full-rated power well before the
volume control is turned all the way up!
If
your speakers distort when you
play them loud,
turn
down the amplifier
or
get a bigger amplifier.
Positioning
the
BPXs
in
Your
Room
For Rear Surround. Side Surround
or
Center Rear Speakers
The BPXs are designed to be extremely flexible in tenns
of
their placement
when used as rear surround, side surround or center rear surround speakers. Their
bipolar radiation characteristics make them perfect for Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby
Digital, Dolby EX, DTS
and"
allS.1,
6.1
and 7.1 decoding systems. They may be
used on the side walls, rear walls or in the rear comers
of
the listening room. When
placed along the side walls the speakers should nonnally be located adjacent to or
behind the listening position. The speakers may also be placed near the rear comers
of
the room or located on the rear wall.
If
you have your couch or listening position
near or against the rear wall, we suggest rear wall placement
of
the BPXs with them
positioned on either side
of
the couch and in from the side wall. High placement is
preferred; however, midwall or floor placement is acceptable. Nonnally speakers
would be hung on the wall with the input connection plate up against the wall;
however, the BPXs may also be placed on shelves or stands.
Of
course, experimen-
tation is encouraged to get the best perfonnance in your particular room. As a start-
ing point, we suggest mounting the speakers on the side walls behind the listening
position about 3-6 feet off the floor and halfway between the listening position and
the rear wall.
For Front
Main
(Left and Right) Speakers
Because
of
their superb perfonnance characteristics, the BPXs can also be used
as a front main system.
In
this configuration they should nonnally be placed about
6-8 feet apart approximately at ear level with the inside facing baffle, which has
drivers mounted on it, facing towards the listening position.
