Duet Mode

 - 

Duet mode is a unique configuration which allows a single Ultra Surround 

speaker to be used as two independent speakers.  This means you can use just two (2) 

Ultra Surround speakers, and still have four (4) discrete side/rear surround channels for a 

true 7.1 surround setup.  
Duet mode is recommended for all home theater systems which have a 7.1 A/V receiver 

and use one (1) pair of surround speakers.  

Bipole Mode 

In bipole mode, both sets of speakers are in phase, which provides a more 

localized and directional surround sound effect.  Bipole mode is recommended for home 

theater systems which have a 7.1 A/V receiver and use dedicated side surround and rear 

surround speakers.  

Dipole Mode

 - 

In dipole mode, both sets of speakers are out of phase, which provides a 

more diffuse and non-directional surround sound effect.  Dipole mode is recommended for 

home theater systems which have a legacy 5.1 A/V receiver and use one (1) pair of 

surround speakers which are mounted directly to the sides of the listening position.
