Manual

Congratulations

Congratulations on your purchase

the

Definitive Technology BP 6B Bipolar

Loudspeaker System. This revolutionary

loudspeaker utilizes state-of-the-art

components (homopolymer-coned bassI

midrange drivers, moving coil

ferroftuid-cooled pure aluminum dome

high frequency radiators, uniphase

crossover networks, etc.), anon-resonant

monocoque cabinet and unique bipolar

(front and rear) radiation in order to

achieve the most lifelike sound possible

your listening room for many years

come.

Please Inspect For Shipping Damage

Each loudspeaker leaves

our

plant in perfect condition. Any

visible

concealed

damage

most likely occurred in handling

after

left

plant and should be reported at

once

your

Definitive dealer

the shipping company which delivered

your loudspeaker.

Connecting

Your

Loudspeakers

is critical for proper performance that both speakers (left and right) be connect-

ed in proper phase. Note that one terminal on each speaker (the +) is colored red and

the other (the -) is colored black. Please make certam 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.

is essential that both

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

agreat lack

likely that one speaker is out

phase with the other.

Usually if distortion

heard when the speakers are being driven at loud

levels, it

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-

"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 plac-

ing your loudspeakers on carpeting and will also, according to many experts, result

in an overall improvement in sonic performance. Care should be taken when

usin&

spikes as they may cause dama&e to wooden or other floors which are susceptible to

bein&

scratched. Definitive Technology

specifically not responsible for damage

which may result from the use

spikes.

The spike kit contains 4spikes. To install,unscrew the plastic guides on the bot-

toms

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

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 to tilt the speakers back (front

back approximately 1/2" to 1" higher than rear) for even better sound.

Positioning

Room

is important, because

pattern, that some simple set-up recommendations be followed in

order

to assure

optimum

perfonnance in

your

room. Please

remember

that

although

these

rec~m

mendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening set-ups are

somewhat

umque.

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 comers. A

good

rule

thumb is to place the speakers separated by

one

half

the length

the wall they are positioned along, and

each

speaker

one

quar-

ter the length

the back wall away from the side wall.

Speakers may be angled in towards the listening position

left parallel with the

rear wall. Generally. we

recommend

angling the speakers in which will result in a

somewhat brighter, clearer, more detailed sound with a

focused central image.

Leaving the speakers parallel with the wall will result in aless bright, more diffuse

sound. Try to leave the space

the sides

the speakers as open and as unobstruct-

ed as possible so that there will be no interference with the rear radiated sound.

The

6B can also be used as an exceptional rear or side surround effects speaker

in home theater installations. When used as aside speaker, locate the

6B behind

and to the sides

the listeners.

When

used as arear speaker, the

6Bs

can

locat-

ed 6-12" from the rear wall and pointed towards the listeners,

placed sideways on

the rear wall with the drivers facing at each other and towards the side walls.
