Positioning
the
BP
6Bs
in
Your
Room
It
is important, because
of
the
BP
6B's
unique bipolar (front
and
rear) radiation
pattern, that some simple set-up recommendations be followed in
order
to assure
optimum
perfonnance in
your
room. Please
remember
that
although
these
rec~m
mendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening set-ups are
somewhat
umque.
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
order
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 comers. 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-
ter the 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
somewhat brighter, clearer, more detailed sound with a
more
focused central image.
Leaving 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
6B 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
6B behind
and to the sides
of
the listeners.
When
used as a rear speaker, the
BP
6Bs
can
be
locat-
ed 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.
