It is critical for proper performance that all speakers (left, right, center and rear) be
connected in proper phase. Note that one terminal on 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 of its channel on your amplifier or
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). If you experience
a great lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the others.

The BP1.2X and BP2X are designed to be extremely flexible in terms of their
placement when used as surround speakers. They may be used on the side walls,
rear walls or in the rear corners of 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 corners of the room or
located on the rear wall. If you have your couch or listening position near or against
the rear wall, we suggest rear wall placement of the BP1.2X and BP2X with them
positioned on either side of the couch and in from the side wall. High placement is
preferred; however, midwall or 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. Of
course, experimentation is encouraged to get the best performance in your particular
room. As a starting 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 BP1.2X 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 1 or 2 speakers will be located on the rear wall as
described above.

Because of their superb performance characteristics, the BP1.2X and BP2X can
also be used as a front main system. In this configuration they should normally be
placed about 6-8 feet apart approximately at ear level with the inside facing baffl
e,
which has drivers mounted on it, facing towards the listening position.

Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at 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! If your speakers distort when you play them
loud, turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one.
