Positioning the Speakers in Your Room

Your BP9000 speakers are very ﬂexible in terms of positioning and placement. To optimize their performance,

please follow these simple guidelines. Although the following recommendations will usually yield the best results,

all rooms and listening setups are different, so do not be afraid to experiment with the speaker placement.

Whatever sounds best to you is likely correct.

We recommend setting up the speakers and

listening position in an equilateral triangle as

illustrated in Figure 2. You will also get good results

if the listeners are a bit farther away. For example,

if line A and C are each 10' long then line Bcould

be between 7' and 10' wide. The BP9000 speakers

offer bipolar sound, meaning they will reﬂect sound

off the back and side walls to create an incredibly

broad and engaging soundstage no matter where

you sit. As such, we recommend placing your

BP9000 speakers at least 4” away from your back

wall to maximize this feature. Toeing the speakers

in slightly, if possible, toward your viewing area

will also provide a stronger center image. Once

you’ve found the right location, feel free to contact

Deﬁnitive Technology or your place of purchase for

additional guidance on speaker positioning.

Connection Options: Speaker-Level Only or

Speaker-Level + LFE w/ "Y" Connector

Use the manual speaker setup functions in your receiver or processor to set speaker conﬁguration, speaker distance

and channel balance. Consult your receiver/processor manual to learn how to access and use the setup menus. We

recommend that you use the settings called for in Figure 4/5.

Note: We recommend that you do not use your receiver’s auto setup functions as they can be ineffective in setting

up and adjusting speakers with integrated powered subwoofers.

Connection Option 1: Speaker-Level Only (recommended)

Option 1 offers an

incredibly precise, full-

range sound. The internal

cross-over network

distributes all frequencies

to their intended drivers,

and the integrated

powered subwoofer works

harmoniously with the mid-

range array.

Directions:

• Connect speaker wire

from receiver/ampliﬁer to

speaker level input on the

back of the speaker

• Adjust receiver/processor

settings to: Speaker

(Large); Subwoofer (No)

FIGURE 4 – Speaker Level Only Connection Diagram

Important: Setting subwoofer to no simply means NO additional subwoofer is needed.

Connection Option 2: Speaker-Level + LFE with “Y” Connector

FIGURE 5 – Speaker-Level + LFE with "Y" Connection Diagram

For those who demand greater customization, Option 2 gives you the ability to control the amount of low frequencies

(those below the crossover point set in your receiver/processor) sent to the subwoofer. Should you prefer Option 2,

we highly recommend setting the crossover point in your receiver/processor to 80Hz or below to avoid disturbing the

delicate blending between the subwoofer and midrange. In addition, careful balance between the subwoofer output

level of your receiver and the bass control on the back of your speaker should be considered. We recommend starting

with the bass control at 12 o’clock. (as shown in Figure 5).

Directions:

• Connect speaker wire from receiver/ampliﬁer to speaker level input

• Connect RCA Y-Cable from LFE or Sub-out of receiver/processor to LFE input on both Left and

Right BP9000 speakers

• Adjust receiver or processor settings to: Speaker (Small); Subwoofer (Yes)
