The position switch 

The position switch has three 

settings and is located on the 
socket panel. 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 distances are meant as 

guidelines, and you may, of course, 
set the position switch to any of 

the settings you prefer.

• 

WALL

 

Use this setting if the loudspeaker 
is placed more than 65 cm (25") 
from a corner. Shown by the grey 
areas along the walls in the 
illustration.

 CORNER

Use this setting if the loudspeaker 
is placed in a corner. Shown by the 
dark grey areas in the illustration.

However, we do not recommend 
that you place the loudspeaker 
closer to the corner than 20 cm 
(8"). Shown by the black areas in 
the illustration.

Placement:

 If the loudspeakers 

are mounted higher than 78 cm

be mounted with the acoustic lens 
downwards to ensure the best 
possible sound performance. In

"

–75.5

"

) above the floor.

If the loudspeakers are mounted 
on the wall with the acoustic lens 
upwards, we recommend that you 
place the wall bracket as follows:

– 

BeoLab 12–2

(7.5

"–45") 

above the floor

.

– 

BeoLab 12–3

bracket.
