Connecting

Your

loudspeakers

is critical for proper performance that both speakers (left and

right) be connected in proper phase. Note that one terminal on each

speaker (the +) is colored red and the other (the -) is colored black.

Please make certain that you connect the red (+) terminal on each

speaker to the red (+) terminal

its channel on your amplifier or

receiver, and the black (-) terminal to the black (-) terminal.

essential that both speakers be connected in the same way to the

amplifier (in phase).

"Spiking"

Your

loudspeakers

An optional "spiking" kit has been provided should you desire to

"spike" your loudspeakers. "Spiking" your loudspeakers will provide

greater stability when placing your loudspeakers on carpeting and will

also, according to many experts, result in an overall improvement in

sonic performance. Care should be taken when using spikes as they

may cause damage to wooden or other floors which are susceptible to

being scratched. Definitive Technology is specifically not responsible

for damage which may result from the use

spikes.

The spike kit contains 4spikes.

install,unscrew the plastic guides

on the bottoms

the speakers. Then screw the 4spikes into the Tnuts.

Then (preferably with the help

another person) lift the speaker

upright and lower it down to its exact desired position on the floor.

You

must lower the speaker to the exact position you want because once the

spikes are in place you cannot move the speakers sideways on the rug

or floor -this may damage the floor or the speakers. Next, adjust the

spikes so the speaker sits solidly (and does not rock).

Please

note

that

you

can adjust

the

feet

or spikes

tilt the speakers

back

(front

back approximately

1/2"

1" higher than rear)

for

even

better sound.

Speaker

Break-In

Your BP lOBs should sound good right out

the box; however, an

extended break-in period

20-40 hours or more

fairly loud playing

is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the

suspensions

work in and results in fuller bass, amore open "blos-

soming" midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.

Positioning

the

10B5 in Your

Room

It is important, because

the BP lOB's unique bipolar (front and

rear) radiation pattern, that some simple set-up recommendations be

followed in order to assure optimum performance in your room.

Please remember that although these recommendations are usually

valid, all rooms and listening set-ups are somewhat unique, so do not

be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whatever

sounds best to you is correct.

In most rooms the speakers should be placed 6to

inches from

the rear wall in order to allow the rear radiated sound to freely reflect

off the back wall. Placement closer to the rear wall will increase the

bass output while placement further from the rear wall will decrease

the bass output.

The speakers should usually be placed 6to 8feet apart and kept

away from the side walls and corners. Agood rule

thumb is to

place the speakers separated by one halfthe length

the wall they are

positioned along, and each speaker one quarter the length

the back

wall away from the side wall.

Speakers may be angled in towards the listening position or left par-

allel with the rear wall. Generally, we recommend angling the speak-

ers in which will result in asomewhat brighter, clearer, more detailed

sound with amore focused central image. Leaving the speakers paral-

lel with the wall will result in aless bright, more diffuse sound. Try to

leave the space on the sides

the speakers as open and as unobstruct-

ed as possible so that there will be no interference with the rear radiat-

ed sound.
