Speaker Break-In

Your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006s should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

Connecting Your Loudspeakers

Your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006s have a set of speaker level (high level) 5-way binding posts and in addition, each speaker has an LFE input. This input can be used with Dolby Digital* and DTS* 5.1 (6.1, 7.1) decoders to separately feed the discrete “Low Frequency Effects” channel into each subwoofer (which then combines with the low bass present separately in the left or right channel signals). Unlike a conventional system, where the subwoofer is driven only by an LFE subwoofer signal, the BP7002/ BP7004/BP7006s are much more sophisticated and are driven by the left or right channel signal as well as the LFE signal. For optimum performance, please read through these instructions fully and follow them.

If the BP7002/BP7004/BP7006s are your main set of speakers, you will hook up the left main/front channel red(+) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the red(+) terminal of your left loudspeaker and the left main/front channel black(-) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the black(-) terminal of your left loudspeaker. Connect the right channel main/front channel red(+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red(+) terminal of your right loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of the right main/front channel of your receiver or amplifier to the black(-) terminal of your right loudspeaker. It is essential that both speakers be connected in the same way (in phase) to its own channel of the amplifier. If you experience a great lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the other.

If you are using the BP7002/BP7004/BP7006 as side/rear surround speakers,

hook up the left surround red(+) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the red(+) terminal of your left surround speaker and the left surround black(-) terminal of your receiver or amplifier to the black(-) terminal of your left surround speaker. Connect the right surround red(+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the red(+) terminal of your right surround loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of the right surround channel of your receiver or amplifier to the black(-) terminal of your right surround loudspeaker.
