Unpacking Your BP9000 Speakers Please unpack your system carefully. We recommend saving all cartons and packing materials in case you move or need to ship your system. It is important to save this booklet, as it contains the serial number for your product. You can also find the serial number on the back of your BP9000 speaker. Each loudspeaker leaves our factory in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our factory.
Positioning the Speakers in Your Room Your BP9000 speakers are very flexible in terms of positioning and placement. To optimize their performance, please follow these simple guidelines. Although the following recommendations will usually yield the best results, all rooms and listening setups are different, so do not be afraid to experiment with the speaker placement. Whatever sounds best to you is likely correct.
Connecting Your Loudspeakers 1. IDENTIFY MARKINGS ON WIRE AND ASSIGN +/– 2. APPLY BANANA PLUGS OR SPADES AT THIS POINT IF APPLICABLE (SPEAKER) (HEIGHT) STRIP 1/4" (6MM) WIRE 1. UNSCREW BOTTOM SET OF BINDING POST AND CONNECT WIRE 2.
Connection Options: Speaker-Level Only or Speaker-Level + LFE w/ "Y" Connector Use the manual speaker setup functions in your receiver or processor to set speaker configuration, speaker distance and channel balance. Consult your receiver/processor manual to learn how to access and use the setup menus. We recommend that you use the settings called for in Figure 4/5.
Connection Option 2: Speaker-Level + LFE with “Y” Connector "Y" CABLE NOT INCLUDED For additional advanced connection methods, please visit the Definitive Technology website or give us a call. FIGURE 5 – Speaker-Level + LFE with "Y" Connection Diagram For those who demand greater customization, Option 2 gives you the ability to control the amount of low frequencies (those below the crossover point set in your receiver/processor) sent to the subwoofer.
Powering the Active Subwoofer Your BP9000 speakers contain built-in powered subwoofers that must be plugged into an electrical socket. The BP9000 has a signal detection feature that only turns the amplifier on when a signal is present. The LED on the back will turn from Red to Blue when a signal is sensed. The "D." LED logo on the front will also turn on if enabled (see Definitive Technology "D." LED Logo section for more information).
Definitive Technology “D.” LED Logo To highlight the integrated powered subwoofers, you will note an LED logo at the bottom front panel of each BP9000 tower speaker. This logo will default to “on” but can be completely disabled by simply pressing the LED ON/OFF button on the back of the loudspeaker. When enabled, the LED logo will engage only once it’s receiving an active signal from your receiver/processor. It will automatically turn off/standby after 20 minutes of no active signal.
