Operation Manual

The position switch
The position switch has three
settings and is located on the
socket panel. 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 distances are meant as
guidelines, and you may, of course,
set the position switch to any of
the settings you prefer.
• WALL
Use this setting if the loudspeaker
is placed more than 65cm (25")
from a corner. Shown by the grey
areas along the walls in the
illustration.
• CORNER
Use this setting if the loudspeaker
is placed in a corner. Shown by the
dark grey areas in the illustration.
However, we do not recommend
that you place the loudspeaker
closer to the corner than 20cm
(8"). Shown by the black areas in
the illustration.
• FREE
Not for use.
Placement: If the loudspeakers
are mounted higher than 78cm
(31") above the oor, they must
be mounted with the acoustic lens
downwards to ensure the best
possible sound performance. In
this case, we recommend that you
place the wall bracket as follows:
– BeoLab 12–2: 59–165cm
(23"– 65") above the oor.
– BeoLab 12–3: 87–192cm
(34"–75.5") above the oor.
If the loudspeakers are mounted
on the wall with the acoustic lens
upwards, we recommend that you
place the wall bracket as follows:
– BeoLab 12–2: 19–114cm
(7.5"– 45") above the oor.
– BeoLab 12–3: 20–78cm
(8"–31") above the oor.
The distance is measured from the
oor to the lower holes of the wall
bracket.
