This Guide describes how to

connect the BeoLab 2 subwoofer,

and adapt it so that it functions

optimally in your speaker setup.

Likewise, the Guide provides

guidelines for how to place the

BeoLab 2.

We recommend that you follow

this procedure when setting up

the BeoLab 2 subwoofer:

– Read and abide by the cautions

on these two pages.

– Disconnect your system from

the mains.

– Connect your speaker system as

described in Connect your

speaker system.

– Set the SETUP switch and the

POSITION switch to the correct

settings as described in Adapt

BeoLab 2 to your setup.

– Place BeoLab 2 according to the

guidelines in Adapt BeoLab 2 to

your setup.

– Finally, connect your system to

the mains.

To make a neat cable installation,

we suggest that you run the

cables through the enclosed cable

cover.

Before you start…

Cautions

■The BeoLab 2 subwoofer is intended for

use with Bang & Olufsen active (Power

Link) loudspeaker systems only – it cannot

be used with other speakers.

■Make sure that the BeoLab 2 is placed

and connected in accordance with the

instructions in this Guide.

■Do not in any way block the free

movement of the BeoLab 2 speaker units,

and do not apply any force to them, as this

may result in permanent damage!

■Place your BeoLab 2 on the floor on its

black rubber foot.

■The BeoLab 2 is designed for indoor use

in dry, domestic environments only, and for

use within a temperature range of 10–40º C

(50–105º F).

■Remember that all speakers in a setup

must be connected to a mains outlet, and

that they are designed to be connected to

the mains at all times, as this allows them

to switch on automatically.

Leave enough space for the speaker units to

move – both in front and to the sides of

BeoLab 2.

Use the top hole as a carrying ’handle’ when

you lift BeoLab 2.

Take care not to damage the speaker units,

and never lift BeoLab 2 by gripping its sides!

location of the product identification label (A).

If you wish to adjust the black rubber foot,

place BeoLab 2 upside down and use the two

adjustment screws (B).

Cable cover: Use the enclosed tool to seal

the cable cover when you have placed both

the mains cord and the Power Link cable

inside it.

For safety reasons you must fasten the

mains lead behind the mains cord bracket.

You gain access to the BeoLab 2

socket panel through the hole on

the rear.

For reference, when locating the

sockets, use the overview on the

previous page and the graphics

imprinted on the socket panel.

For specific information about the

other speakers and units in your

Bang & Olufsen system, please

refer to the Guides enclosed with

these systems.

You might find it easier to

“thread” the cables into the

enclosed cable cover before you

connect them, as shown on the

previous page.

Speaker connections

Connect the BeoLab 2 to your system using

the enclosed 8-pin Power Link cable.

On the next page you can see examples of

three different setups: two surround sound

setups, and a stereo setup. In each

example it is explained which sockets to

use.

Dolby Digital system: The system has a

dedicated SUBWOOFER socket, and all

speakers are connected directly to your Bang

& Olufsen system.

Dolby Pro Logic system: This system has no

dedicated subwoofer socket. The front set of

speakers is connected to BeoLab 2, and

BeoLab 2 is connected to your Bang &

Olufsen system. The rear set of speakers is

connected directly to your Bang & Olufsen

system.

Stereo system: The left and right speakers are

connected to BeoLab 2, and BeoLab 2 is

connected to your Bang & Olufsen system

Remember to set the L • R • LINE switch to the

correct setting on each of your front and rear

speakers.

Connection to the mains

Connect the enclosed mains cord to the

socket marked ~.

Connect your speaker system

Looping the signals through from

speaker to speaker: To avoid cables running

from both front speakers to BeoLab 2,

you may choose to loop the signal through

from speaker to speaker.

BeoLab 2 can be placed almost

anywhere in a room. However, the

most natural sound and best

stereo/surround sound experience

is obtained if BeoLab 2 is set up

according to the guidelines on

these two pages.

To adapt to the sensitivity of the

speaker system connected to

BeoLab 2, it has a SETUP switch

with three settings.

To filter out the natural bass

change obtained if a loudspeaker

is placed e.g. in a corner, as

compared to a more freestanding

position, BeoLab2 has a POSITION

switch with three settings as well.

Setting the SETUP switch

Use the SETUP switch to adapt the output

from BeoLab 2 to the sensitivity levels of

the different BeoLab speakers.

The switch has three settings (1, 2, and 3),

and which switch setting to choose

depends on your speaker setup. The table

to the right shows which setting to use

with the different models of BeoLab

speakers.

If, for example, you have a pair of BeoLab 1

speakers connected to BeoLab 2, you

should set the SETUP switch to 1, and so

on…

If you have a Dolby Digital system, and

therefore no speakers are directly connected to

BeoLab 2, we recommend that you set the

SETUP switch to 3.

Placement –guidelines

Placement is flexible and easy with

BeoLab 2. Due to its relative small size it

can easily be integrated in most home

environments, and may be placed almost

anywhere you wish in the room.

However, to obtain the most natural sound

you should place BeoLab 2 on the floor in

the front half of the room, and with the

front speaker unit facing your listening

position.

Adapt BeoLab 2 to your setup

BeoLab 4500, BeoLab 4000

BeoLab 2500

SETUP

If you connect BeoLab Penta to BeoLab 2,

we recommend that you set the INPUT LEVEL

switch on the BeoLab Penta to its middle

position.

L R

Ideally BeoLab 2 should be placed at about

the same distance from your favourite

listening position as the front set of speakers,

that is, the left, (centre) and right speakers.

If possible, you should choose a placement

between the two front speakers.

Setting the POSITION switch

Use the POSITION switch to ensure that the

bass response suits the placement of

BeoLab 2, and thus the surroundings.

Which switch setting to choose depends on

the distance from BeoLab 2 to the walls

and corners of the room.

The POSITION switch has three settings:

CORNER: Use this setting if BeoLab 2 is placed

in a corner – shown by the dark grey areas

in the illustration.

WALL: Use this setting if BeoLab 2 is placed

closer than approx. 50 cm (20”) to a wall,

and no closer to a corner than approx.

150 cm (60”) – shown by the medium grey

areas along the walls in the illustration.

FREE: Use this setting if BeoLab 2 is placed

more than approx. 50 cm (20”) from the

wall – shown by the light grey area in the

illustration.

The dimensions mentioned are guidelines only.

You may, of course, set the switch to any of

the three positions you prefer.

Never place BeoLab 2 behind your listening

position. We recommend that you avoid

placing any of your loudspeakers in the area

inside the thin dotted line.

When Beolab 2 is connected to

the mains, the stand-by indicator

lights up in red, indicating that

BeoLab 2 is in stand-by and ready

to be used.

BeoLab 2 is designed to be left in

stand-by mode when not in use,

i.e. the power should not be

switched off at the mains.

Please note: BeoLab 2 is designed

to protect itself if the active

speaker unit becomes overheated.

The loudspeaker protection circuit

may become active after a period

of playing at a high volume level.

Switching on and off –indicator

When you switch on your Bang & Olufsen

system, BeoLab 2 switches on

simultaneously. The red stand-by indicator

light turns green, indicating that BeoLab 2

is switched on.

When you switch off your system, or mute

the sound, the red indicator light appears

immediately, indicating that BeoLab 2 is

not in use.

Loudspeaker protection

If the active speaker unit becomes

overheated, BeoLab 2 will instantly reduce

the sound level. Once the situation has

stabilised, the sound level is slowly

returned to normal. If the speaker is

played constantly at such a high level,

BeoLab 2 will eventually mute the sound

completely.

Should BeoLab 2 mute the sound, the

indicator light turns red.

To restore the sound:

> Disconnect BeoLab 2 from the mains.

> Allow the active speaker unit time to cool

off.

> Reconnect BeoLab 2 to the mains.

Should the problem persist, please contact

your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

Cleaning BeoLab 2

Clean the surfaces of BeoLab 2 using a

soft, lint-free cloth which you have wrung

firmly in a solution of lukewarm water

containing a few drops of e.g. dish

washing detergent.

The speaker units may be cleaned with a

vacuum cleaner, set to the lowest level.

Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean

any part of your BeoLab 2!
