Setting Up Your BG Loudspeakers for Optimum Sound
Home Theater and Stereo Applications
Refer to the diagram on page 7 that depicts a recommended layout for BG
loudspeakers. This diagram is an overhead view of a typical listening room
with the video screen located at the top of the diagram (the front of the room).
Keep in mind that the room is an integral part of the sound reproduction
system and has a significant effect on your sound experience.
BG recommends locating your Radia R-17i loudspeaker symmetrically to the
left and right of the viewing screen (Plasma, LCD and DLP). Avoid mounting
left and right front loudspeakers close to a side wall as it may result in reduced
sound quality caused by reflections off the side wall.
The relative location of your listening position to the loudspeakers is also
important. We recommend when using the R-17i, the total spread distance
C
(LC+RC=C)
between them roughly equals to B so that all these distances
form an equilateral triangle. Your screen size also should be taken into
consideration. In most cases, C should be no less than 5 feet, with 7-10 feet
being optimal.
We recommend that the height of the loudspeakers be level with your flat
panel television for best visual appearance. However if your screen is installed
high on the wall, we recommend keeping the center of the loudspeaker under
5 feet, 3-4 feet being optimal.
