The POSITION switch
When a loudspeaker is placed in a corner, the bass level is boosted
compared to the bass level from a loudspeaker placed in a more
free­standing position.
To filter out this natural bass boost, the loudspeaker has a switch
marked POSITION. The purpose of the switch is to ensure that the
bass level suits the placement of the loudspeaker. The appropriate
switch setting depends on the distance from the loudspeaker to
the walls and corners of the room.
The POSITION switch has three settings:
• FREE
Use this setting if the loudspeaker is
placed more than 30 cm (12") from
the wall, and no closer to a corner
than 65 cm (25") – shown by the
large light grey area in the
illustration on the next page.
• WALL
Use this setting if the loudspeaker is
placed less than 20 cm (8") from a
wall, and no closer to a corner
than 65 cm (25") – shown by the
grey areas along the walls in the
illustration on the next page.
The loudspeaker may be placed
almost anywhere in your room.
However, the most natural
sound and best stereo
perspective is obtained if it is
set up as explained on these
pages.
• CORNER
Use this setting if the loudspeaker
is placed in a corner – shown by the
dark grey areas in the illustration on
the next page.
However, we do not recommend
that you place the loudspeaker
closer to the corner than 30 cm
(12") – shown by the black areas in
the illustration on the next page.
