. “Frankly, if circumstances allowed, I would choose these speakers for myself.” EFINITIVE BP2000 L OUDSPEAKER Julian Hirsch, Hirsch-Houck Laboratories PECIAL EPORT That is not to say that the BP 2000 is exactly a small speaker—each one mea. The rear panel holds an identical trio of drivers, located directly behind the front array. Definitive Technology says the cabinet interior is divided into separate enclosure volumes that give the front and rear sections slightly different low-fre.

BP 8B Bipolar Loudspeaker Owner's Manual Congratulations Congratulations on your purchase of the Definitive Technology BP 8B Bipolar Loudspeaker System. This revolutionary loudspeaker utilizes state-of-the-artcomponents (cast basket homopolymerconed bass/midrange drivers, moving coil ferrofluid-cooledpure aluminum dome high frequency radiators, uniphase crossover networks, etc.), a non-resonantmonocoque cabinet and unique bipolar (front and rear) radiation in order to achieve the most lifelike sound possible in your listening room for many years to come. 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.
Connecting Your Loudspeakers It 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 of its channel on your amplifier or receiver, and the black (-)terminal to the black (-)terminal. Cayendo al abismo wayne dyer pdf gratis. It is essential that both 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 other. 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 control is turned all the way up!
If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one. “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 of spikes. The spike kit contains 4 spikes.
To install,unscrew the plastic guides on the bottoms of the speakers. Then screw the 4 spikes into the T nuts. Then (preferably with the help of 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 to tilt the speakers back (front to back approximately 1/2” to 1” highter than rear) for even better sound. Speaker Break-In Your BP 8Bs should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-inperiod of 20-40hours or more of fairly loud playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-inallows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction. Positioning the BP 8Bs in Your Room It is important, because of the BP 8B’s unique bipolar (front and rear) radiation pattern, that some simple set-uprecommendations 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-upsare 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 6 to 12 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 6 to 8 feet apart and kept away from the side walls and corners. A good rule of thumb is to place the speakers separated by one half the length of the wall they are positioned along, and each speaker one quarter the length of the back wall away from the side wall.
Speakers may be angled in towards the listening position or 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 more focused central image. Leaving the speakers parallel with the wall will result in a less bright, more diffuse sound.
Try to leave the space on the sides of the speakers as open and as unobstructed as possible so that there will be no interference with the rear radiated sound. The BP 8B can also be used as an exceptional rear or side surround effects speaker in home theater installations. When used as a side speaker, locate the BP 8B behind and to the sides of the listeners. When used as a rear speaker, the BP 8Bs can be located 6-12'from the rear wall and pointed towards the listeners, or placed sideways on the rear wall with the drivers facing at each other and towards the side walls.
