Daily use

When you have ﬁnished setting up the loudspeakers as described on

the following pages, connect the entire system to the mains. The

loudspeakers are designed to be left in standby when not in use.

Switching on and off

When you switch on your system,

the loudspeaker switches on

simultaneously, and the indicator

light shines green.

When you switch off your system,

or mute the sound, the indicator

light turns red.

Cleaning

Clean the loudspeaker surfaces

using a soft, lint-free cloth which

you have dipped in lukewarm

water and wrung ﬁrmly.

Never use alcohol or other solvents to

clean any parts of the loudspeaker!

Loudspeaker protection

The loudspeaker is equipped with a

thermal protection system which

prevents overheating. If an error

occurs – or the speaker units

become overheated – the system

automatically switches the

loudspeaker to standby, and the

indicator light turns yellow.

To restore the situation:

> Disconnect the loudspeaker from

the mains.

> Allow the system time to reset

(approximately 3–5 minutes).

> Reconnect the loudspeaker to

the mains again.

Should the problem persist, contact

your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

Indicator light: In daily use the

indicator light shines either red

(standby) or greAen (playing). If an

error occurs – or the speaker units

become overheated – the light

switches to yellow.

Caution: Do not touch the BeoLab 3

top speaker membrane!

Setting up BeoLab 3

We recommend that you follow

this procedure:

– Disconnect your system from the

mains.

– Place the loudspeaker according

to the guidelines on these two

pages. For information on how

to fasten the loudspeaker to

the optional accessories, refer to

the Guide enclosed with the

accessory.

– Connect the loudspeaker and set

the SETUP switch as explained in

‘Cable connections’ (pp. 6–7).

– Set the POSITION switch to the

correct setting on each

loudspeaker. This is explained in

‘Adapt BeoLab 3 to your room’ (pp.

8–10).

– Connect the entire system to the

mains again.

Cautions

– Make sure that the loudspeaker

is placed and connected in

accordance with the instructions

in this Guide.

– Do not attempt to open the

loudspeaker. Leave such

operations to qualiﬁed service

personnel!

– The loudspeaker is designed for

indoor use in dry, domestic

environments only, and for use

within a temperature range of

10–40º C (50–105º F).

– Do not in any way block the free

movement of the speaker units,

and do not apply any force to

them, as this may result in

permanent damage!

– Do not lift the loudspeaker by

gripping the top part (the

acoustic lens).

– Do not place any items on top of

the loudspeaker.

– Do not place the loudspeaker

enclosed in, for example, a small

bookcase.

– Leave a minimum of 20 cm (8")

free space at the sides, and never

place anything directly in front of

the loudspeaker.

– Always place the loudspeaker in

an upright position.

The loudspeaker must be placed on either the black rubber base, a floor

stand, a table stand, or a wall bracket.

~ 3 m (10')

30 cm (12")

150 cm (60")

90 cm (35")

For optimal sound performance

make sure that the loudspeaker is

directed towards your preferred

listening position.

The heights shown are guidelines,

and will vary according to the

distance from your preferred

listening position to the loudspeaker.

When mounted correctly on the

floor stand, the loudspeaker ‘leans’

slightly backwards.

The mounting holes (b and c) are

blocked by two small screws, and

before you can use either of these

holes, the screw must be removed.

Note: When mounting the

loudspeaker on the floor stand,

use mounting hole (a) only!

Cable connections

POSITION switch

This switch has three settings: FREE,

WALL, and CORNER. Which setting to

use is explained in ‘Adapt BeoLab 3

to your room’ (pp. 8–10).

SETUP switch

This switch has three settings:

RIGHT, LEFT, and LINE.

Set the switch to RIGHT or LEFT,

when connecting loudspeakers in a

Bang & Olufsen system. Set the

switch to LINE when connecting

loudspeakers in a non-Bang &

Olufsen system.

POWER LINK and LINE socket

Use this socket to connect the

loudspeaker to your system…

…To a Bang & Olufsen system:

Use the enclosed Power Link cable

to connect the loudspeaker to your

system. Remember to set the SETUP

switch to RIGHT and LEFT (the right

and left sound channel), respectively.

…To a non-Bang & Olufsen

system:

Use a special adapter with an

ordinary phono/RCA plug in one

end, and a DIN-plug in the other

(optional accessory, available from

your Bang & Olufsen retailer).

Remember to set the SETUP switch

to LINE.

The LINE signal must be a volume-

controlled line-level signal not

exceeding 3 VRMS.

The loudspeaker can be used

with Bang & Olufsen audio,

video and link systems. It may

also be used with non-Bang &

Olufsen systems.

Cover for socket panel: Run the

two cables through the hole (A),

before you connect them to the

loudspeaker.

The socket panel is located on the bottom part of the loudspeaker.

Power Lin

Mk 3

LEFT RIGHT

Power Link connections: These

connections carry both the right

and left sound signals. Therefore,

the cables may be run in two ways:

1Run a Power Link cable from the

Bang & Olufsen system directly

to each loudspeaker.

2Use a Power Link adapter (optional

accessory, available from your

Bang & Olufsen retailer). Run a

cable from the Bang & Olufsen

system to the ﬁrst loudspeaker,

and then run another cable from

the ﬁrst loudspeaker to the next

(this will often minimize cable

clutter).

Power Link cables: The enclosed

Power Link cables are of a new

type. The new type has a triangular

mark on the plug.

Do not use any cables of the older

type, as this will cause noise, and

therefore not give optimum sound

quality!

Cable Clamp: For safety reasons,

the mains lead must be secured to

the loudspeaker. Use the enclosed

small cable clamp and screw.

Adapt BeoLab 3 to your room

The POSITION switch

When a loudspeaker is placed in a corner, the bass level is boosted

compared to the bass level from a loudspeaker placed in a more

free-standing position.

To ﬁlter out this natural bass boost, the loudspeaker has a switch

marked POSITION. The purpose of the switch is to ensure that the

bass level suits the placement of the loudspeaker. The appropriate

switch setting depends on the distance from the loudspeaker to

the walls and corners of the room.

The POSITION switch has three settings:

• FREE

Use this setting if the loudspeaker is

placed more than 30 cm (12") from

the wall, and no closer to a corner

than 65 cm (25") – shown by the

large light grey area in the

illustration on the next page.

• WALL

Use this setting if the loudspeaker is

placed less than 20 cm (8") from a

wall, and no closer to a corner than

65 cm (25") – shown by the grey

areas along the walls in the

illustration on the next page.

The loudspeaker may be placed

almost anywhere in your room.

However, the most natural

sound and best stereo

perspective is obtained if it is

set up as explained on these

pages.

• CORNER

Use this setting if the loudspeaker

is placed in a corner – shown by the

dark grey areas in the illustration on

the next page.

However, we do not recommend

that you place the loudspeaker

closer to the corner than 30 cm

(12") – shown by the black areas in

the illustration on the next page.

How to measure? The distances

referred to, are measured as shown

here (the loudspeaker seen from

above).

The distances are meant as

guidelines, and you may, of course,

set the POSITION switch to any of

the three settings you prefer.

To obtain the most natural sound

and best stereo perspective, set up

your favourite listening position as

shown here.

The ‘Acoustic Lens Technology’

system ensures better balance in

the high tone frequencies coming

directly from the loudspeaker, and

the sound reflected by the room.

The system also ensures correct

tonal balance in the whole area in

front of the loudspeaker.

>> Adapt BeoLab 3 to your room

Setup examples

Here are three examples which

show how to set the POSITION

switch on each loudspeaker in

different setups.

If you have a BeoLab 2

subwoofer setup…

As explained in the BeoLab 2 Guide,

the subwoofer has a SETUP switch

which can be set to 1, 2, or 3. This

will adapt the output from BeoLab 2

to the sensitivity levels of different

BeoLab loudspeakers.

If you connect a pair of BeoLab 3

loudspeakers to the BeoLab 2

subwoofer, we recommend that you

set the BeoLab 2 SETUP switch to

Example 1: The loudspeakers are

placed in one end of the room (but

not against the back wall), and not

near the side walls.

Therefore, the POSITION switch

should be set to FREE on both

loudspeakers.

Example 2: One loudspeaker is

placed against the wall, and the

other is placed in a corner.

Therefore, the left loudspeaker

should be set to WALL, and the

right loudspeaker should be set to

CORNER.

Example 3: As in example 2, one

loudspeaker is placed against the

wall, and the other is placed in a

corner. The shape of the room has

no influence on which setting to

select.

Therefore, the left loudspeaker

should be set to WALL, and the

right loudspeaker should be set to

CORNER.
