Setting Up Your BG Loudspeakers for Optimum Sound
Multi-Channel Audio for Music and Home Theater
If you plan to use your BG loudspeakers for home theater or multi-channel
audio, here are some additional recommendations.
1. The center channel loudspeaker should be positioned on top of your
television or a shelf directly above or below it.
NOTE:
All Z-Series
loudspeakers are magnetically shielded.
2. If you are using a projector, you will need a suitable stand to position the
center channel loudspeaker on the floor in front of the screen or a bracket
above or below the screen. Aim the loudspeaker so it is pointed at your
listening position. The center channel loudspeaker should be as close as
possible to the screen so the voice soundtrack appears to come from the
video image.
The optimum position for all five loudspeakers requires the same distance
from the listening position (distance A, B and D are equal), see diagram
on opposite page. If it is not possible to get the distances equal, you can
use the delay and level adjustment functions available in most home theater
processors to compensate for the differences in distances. The diagram
shows the optimum placement for the rear loudspeakers. The subwoofer
should be placed beside or behind either the left or right front loudspeaker.
For multiple subwoofers see your authorized BG dealer for advanced setup
procedures.
If you place BG loudspeakers on a shelf or in a wall unit make sure the
loudspeakers are not recessed too deeply and there is nothing in front of or
in close proximity to the drivers to obstruct the sound.
Processor Setting - We recommend using the small loudspeaker mode on
your processor to protect your loudspeaker’s low frequency drivers from
extremely low bass signals. This setting will also allow you to achieve higher
dynamic range and cleaner sound at louder levels.
This manual addresses 5.1 surround sound systems. Where 7.1 or higher
systems are being utilized see your authorized BG dealer for advanced setup
procedures.
