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.
