- Positioning
- Try varying the distance your loudspeakers are apart from each other. If they are too close together, this may result in poor stereo imaging. This is when sound moves from left to right or right to left, for example a car in a movie sound track. But if you place them too far apart, there will be a big gap in the imaging. When listening to music through your speakers, if you have them set up correctly, you shouldn’t notice that the speakers are even there, the music should sound as if it is coming from the centre of the two speakers.

Connecting your Bronze BR-FX
The Bronze BR-FX’s are supplied as right hand and left hand units and both can
be configured to either bi-pole or di-pole. The factory setting is bi-pole as
illustrated in fig. 1 below.
In bi-pole mode, all speaker units (mid/bass unit and tweeters) are in phase.
This feature is for when the BR-FX is set up as a rear/surround speaker in a
typical 5.1 channel system. In di-pole mode, one of the HF units (tweeter) is out
of phase with the other tweeter and mid/bass unit. It is best to implement this
configuration when using the BR-FX as part of a 7.1 channel system, with the
BR-FX’s taking up positions on the sidewalls.
Please note that the BR-FX’s are left and right handed specific. This
is not an issue when used in bi-pole mode as a rear surround
speaker. It is essential that they are positioned correctly if used in
a 7.1 channel system.

Before changing your BR-FX’s from bi-pole mode to di-pole mode, please ensure
that the speaker wires are disconnected from your loudspeakers. This helps to
protect your amplifier.
To change from bi-pole, to di-pole mode, the toggle switch on the crossover
panel needs to be moved from its factory set position (fig. 1) to the di-pole
position (fig. 2).
