BP2X Bipolar Surround/

Satellite Speaker System. These revolutionary

loudspeakers utilize state-of-the-art components

(homopolymer-coned bass/midrange drivers, moving

coil ferrofluid-cooled dome high-frequency radiators,

uniphase crossover networks, etc.), anon-resonant

monocoque cabinet and low-diffraction construction

in order to achieve the most lifelike sound possible in

your listening room for many years to come. These

compact, high-quality bipolar (equal sound radiates

marily for use as arear or side speakers in

Dolby

addition, they can also be

used as front "effects" speakers in multi-channel DSP

systems,

as front main left and right speakers.

Please Inspect

For

Shipping Damage

Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any

visible or concealed damage most likely occurred in handling

after it left our plant and should be reported at once to your

Definitive dealer or the shipping company which delivered

your loudspeaker. *Registered Trademark

Connecting

Your

Loudspeakers

It is critical for proper performance that all speakers (left, right, center and rear) be

connected in proper phase. Note that one terminal

each speaker (+) is colored red

and the other (-) is colored black. Please make certain that you connect the red (+)

terminal on each speaker to the red (+) terminal

its channel on your amplifier

receiver, and the black (-) terminal to the black (-) terminal. It is essential that all

speakers be connected in the same way to the amplifier (in phase).

you experience

agreat lack

bass, it is likely that one speaker is out

phase with the others.

Usually ifdistortion is heard when the speakers

are

being driven

loud

levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not

driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember,

most amplifiers

put

out their full-rated power well before the volume con-

trol is turned all the way up!

Positioning

the

BP1.2X

BP2X in

Your

Room

For Rear

Side Surround Speakers

The BP1.2X and BP2X are designed to be extremely flexible in terms

their

placement when used as surround speakers. They may be used on the side walls,

rear walls

in the rear comers

the listening room. When placed along the side

walls the speakers should normally be located adjacent to or behind the listening

position. The speakers may also be placed near the rear comers

the room or

located on the rear wall.

you have your couch or listening position near or against

the rear wall, we suggest rear wall placement

the BP1.2X and BP2X with them

positioned on either side

the couch and in from the side wall. High placement is

preferred; however, midwall

floor placement is certainly acceptable. Normally

speakers would be hung on the wall with the input connection plate up against the

wall, however, the BP1.2X and BP2X may also be placed on shelves or stands.

course, experimentation is encouraged to get the best performance in your particular

room. As astarting point, we suggest mounting the speakers on the side walls

behind the listening position about 3-6 feet

off

the floor and halfway between the

listening position and the rear wall.

When using

BPI.2X

and BP2X in Dolby EX and other 6.1 and 7.1 systems

(which they are perfect for), one pair will normally be located on the side walls as

described above and an additional 1or 2speakers will be located on the rear wall as

described above.

For Front

Main

(Left

and Right) Speakers

Because

their superb performance characteristics, the BP1.2X and BP2X can

also be used as afront main system. In this configuration they should normally be

placed about 6-8 feet apart approximately at ear level with the inside facing baffle,

which has drivers mounted on it, facing towards the listening position.

For

Front

Effects Speakers

The

BPl.2X

and BP2X are ideal for use

front effects speakers in DSP installa-

tions. They should be placed on the front wall with the wire tenninals against the wall

and the speakers separated by approximately two-thirds

the front wall. Placement

above ear level

recommended ifpossible; however, lower placement

possible,

necessary.

Mounting

the

BP1.2X and

BP2X

Each

BPl.2X

and BP2X comes with apremounted mounting plate which may be

used to hang the speakers on the wall. Use atoggle bolt or other similar anchored

fastener in the wall to hold the screw which the mounting plate will hang on. Do not

use an unanchored screw in the wall.
