PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM

Choosing Proper Placement and Setup

The Beta ES250 surround speaker can be used in side or rear channel applications. Please refer to the placement and setup method for your application. The first step is to determine the application for which your Beta ES250 surround speaker will be used.

If you are using the Beta ES250 for surround channels in a 5-channel home theater system or for side channels in a 6- or 7-channel home theater system (Application 1), please follow the directions below.

If you are using the Beta ES250 as a rear speaker in a 6- or 7- channel home theater system (Application 2), please follow the directions on page 3.

The Beta ES250 also possesses the unique capacity to behave as two distinct loudspeakers from one enclosure. This allows you to use a single ES250 for both the left and right rear speakers in a 7-channel system. If you are using the Beta ES250 this way, please follow the instructions on page 3 (Application 3).

Placement (Application 1)

When using the Beta ES250 for the surround channels in a 5-channel home theater system or for side channels in a 6- or 7-channel home theater system, refer to Figures 1 and 2. The speakers should be placed perpendicular to or slightly behind the primary listening location, as shown.

Setting the Surround Configuration Selector

It is generally recommended that the selectable surround mode configuration be set to Bipole. This will provide a large ambient surround sound field while allowing for precise localization of sound effects that the filmmaker has placed in the surround tracks.

If the side walls on which the speaker will be mounted are more than about 14' (4.3m) from the listening position, setting the Surround Mode Configuration Switch to Monopole may offer

improved performance. It is also recommended that the Monopole position be selected if the speakers will be mounted close to a corner, as shown in Figure 2.

If you are using a receiver/processor with a THX® surround mode and have selected the THX surround mode, it may be beneficial to use the Dipole setting. This is a matter of personal preference and may change depending on the individual film soundtrack. It is also recommended that the Dipole setting be used with older recordings that are only recorded with a Dolby* Pro Logic* (not the newer Dolby Digital) soundtrack.
