Connecting your Bronze BR-FX
The Bronze BR-FX’s are supplied as right hand and left hand units and both can
be configured to either bi-pole or di-pole. The factory setting is bi-pole as
illustrated in fig. 1 below.
In bi-pole mode, all speaker units (mid/bass unit and tweeters) are in phase.
This feature is for when the BR-FX is set up as a rear/surround speaker in a
typical 5.1 channel system. In di-pole mode, one of the HF units (tweeter) is out
of phase with the other tweeter and mid/bass unit. It is best to implement this
configuration when using the BR-FX as part of a 7.1 channel system, with the
BR-FX’s taking up positions on the sidewalls.
Please note that the BR-FX’s are left and right handed specific. This
is not an issue when used in bi-pole mode as a rear surround
speaker. It is essential that they are positioned correctly if used in
a 7.1 channel system.
Before changing your BR-FX’s from bi-pole mode to di-pole mode, please ensure
that the speaker wires are disconnected from your loudspeakers. This helps to
protect your amplifier.
To change from bi-pole, to di-pole mode, the toggle switch on the crossover
panel needs to be moved from its factory set position (fig. 1) to the di-pole
position (fig. 2).
