Adapt the loudspeakers to your setup
The loudspeakers may be placed
almost anywhere in your room.
However, the most natural
sound is obtained if they are set
up as explained in this section.
SETUP switch
This switch has three settings: LEFT,
RIGHT and LINE. Set the switch to
LEFT or RIGHT when connecting
the loud speakers in a Bang &
Olufsen system. Set the switch to
LINE when connecting the loud
speakers in a non–Bang & Olufsen
system.
…To a Bang & Olufsen system:
Use Bang & Olufsen Power Link
cables to connect the loud speakers
to your system. Set the SETUP
switch to LEFT and RIGHT (the left
and right sound channel)
respectively.
…To a non-Bang & Olufsen
system:
Use a special adaptor with an
ordinary phono/RCA plug in one
end, and a DINplug in the other.
Depending on your setup, you may
also need to connect an adaptor
with phono/RCA and mini jack
plugs (optional accessories,
available from your Bang & Olufsen
retailer). Set the SETUP switch to
LINE.
POSITION switch
When a loud speaker is placed in a
corner or close to a wall, the bass
level is boosted compared to the
bass level from a loud speaker placed
in a more freestanding position.
To remove this excessive bass boost,
set the POSITION switch to ensure
that the bass level suits the
placement of the loud speaker. The
appropriate switch setting depends
on the distance from the loud speaker
to the walls and corners of the room.
Use the guidelines on the next page,
when deciding which of the three
POSITION switch settings to select
– on each loud speaker.
The position zones, shown on the
next page, are meant as guide lines
– you may, of course, set the switch
to any of the three settings you
prefer.
