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 performance in your room. Please remember that 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 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 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- 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.
