In most rooms the speakers should be placed 5 to 36 inches from the rear wall in order to allow the rear radiated sound to freely reflect off the back wall. Please note that they can go closer to, or further from, the wall if desired. Placement closer to the rear wall will increase the bass output while placement further from the rear wall will decrease the bass output (which, of course, can be compensated for with the speakers’ low frequency controls). Sometimes placement further from the rear w

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

Hooking Up With Speaker Wire Only The simplest implementation of use with DTS or Dolby Digital is to simply hook-up your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006 with speaker wire as described above and set your receiver or processor’s menu to “Large” left and right main speakers and “no” subwoofer. The bass management system will then send the LFE .1 channel into the left and right channels and it will be reproduced by the subwoofers in your BP7002/BP7004SC/BP7006s giving you all the benefits of the discrete LFE s

Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your Receiver or Amplifier Normally we recommend that you set the “Bass” and “Treble” controls on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. If you want more bass, raise the subwoofer’s “Level” control on your BP7002/ BP7004/BP7006, keeping in mind that even a little turn of the knob can make a big difference in the sound. Also, if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recommend that you leave it flat. The reason for this

Setting Low-Frequency Balance When Using Separate LFE Input We suggest that when you are using a separate LFE input, you set the bass level on your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006s to sound balanced when listening to music in stereo and use the .1 channel or bass level control in your Dolby Digital channel balancing procedure on your decoder to raise or lower the bass level for movie sound effects as you require. Normally the level control of the left speaker will be set the same as the level control of th

Using your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006 with an Additional Subwoofer Although the built-in subwoofers in your BP7002/BP7004/BP7006s deliver superb low frequency response and are all that are required for amazing performance, some listeners go for the ultimate performance and add an additional powered subwoofer to their system. If you choose to do so, we strongly suggest using a Definitive PowerField SuperCube, PowerField or ProSub in order to achieve the highest level of sound quality possible. This s
