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 a part of the sound reproduction system and 
has a significant effect on sound you experience. This is especially true at 
lower frequencies (see subwoofer setup on page 9).

Locating your loudspeaker close to the wall increases bass output

.

 It may also 

increase the boominess of the bass and artificially alter the loudspeaker’s 
tonal  balance.  We  recommend  that  you  spend  some  time  adjusting  the 
position of the loudspeakers, moving them in and out gradually, to get the 
sound you prefer. You may toe them in or out (rotate them around their vertical 
axis towards or away from your listening position) to improve high frequency 
balance (as indicated by the dashed lines on the diagram). In general, best 
results  are  obtained  when  the  front  left  and  right  loudspeakers  have  their 
axis intersecting slightly behind the position of the listener. 

The relative location of your listening position to the loudspeakers is important 
as well. If possible, do not select a listening position less than three feet (one 
meter)  from  the  rear  wall  of  the  room. As  with  adjusting  the  placement  of 
your loudspeakers, you can also adjust your listening position to get the most 
desirable bass reproduction and high frequency resolution.

If you place your BG loudspeakers on a shelf or in a wall unit make sure 
the loudspeakers are not recessed too deeply and nothing is in front of or in 
close proximity to the drivers to obstruct the sound.
