General considerations
The R-800, R-400C and R-88Sub are high output, full range systems that are designed
to be installed in the wall. If there is a room adjacent to the wall where the system is
installed, low frequency bass sound will be heard there due to natural sound
transmission. The Installer should take the utmost care with the wall preparation to
reduce natural vibrations. See details in the Installation section.
Proper Hookup:
All Radia in-wall speakers have binding post connections clearly
marked “+” and “ –“.
Connect Red speaker terminal post to positive (+) amplifier post.
Connect Black speaker terminal post to negative (-) amplifier post.
The R-800 must be bi-amplified by running separate dedicated loudspeaker wires from
BGA-2500 amplifier to its woofer section and from your power amplifier to ribbon line
array section of this speaker system.
Break-In Times:
Typically a BG loudspeaker requires not less than 48 hours of
operation at moderate sound level before reaching its optimum sound quality. This
improvement may be subtle yet noticeable for a trained listener. Note: Do not play your
loudspeakers excessively loud to try to accelerate this process.
Amplifier:
BG loudspeakers are extremely accurate and deliver a high degree of
detail and resolution at low distortion. Use an SPL meter to verify playback levels. A
good 100-250 watt per channel amplifier or receiver is needed to deliver adequate
power for a typical room size. Your authorized BG Dealer can recommend an amplifier
and other components and accessories best suited to your needs.
