Using
the
Boston Bravo
as
a Surround Speaker
Two
Boston
Bravos can
be
used
as
surround
speakers
for
Dolby® Surround, Dolby@ Pro Logic®, Dolby®
Digital
and
DTS®
surround
sound
formats. A
third
or
fourth
Boston
Bravo can
be
added
for
use
with
Surround
EX
and
DTS®
ES
surround
sound
formats. In general.
best
results will
be
obtained
when
the
surround speakers are
placed
above
ear
level
and
either
behind
or
beside
the
listening area. However,
if
attaching
speakers
to
the
wall
is
not
an
option,
then
the
Boston
Bravos can
be
placed
horizontally
directly
on
the
floor. Since
the
low
frequency
limit
of
the
Boston Bravo
is
approximately
80Hz,
speaker
bass
management
should
be
set
to
"small."
This will
redirect
the
surround channels'
bass
information
to
either
the
system's
subwoofer
or
main
speakers. Please
consult
your
surround
sound
electronics
owner's
manual
for
additional
information
about
speaker
placement
and
bass
management
Using
the
Boston Bravo
as
a
Main
Speaker
The
Boston
Bravo can
provide
exceptional
performance
from
80Hz
and
above. For
deep
bass
reproduction,
a
powered
subwoofer
might
be
a
suitable
addition
to
the
Boston
Bravo. In small
or
medium
size rooms,
two
Boston
Bravos
should
provide
ample
volume,
given
appropriate
amplifier
power
of
between
15
and
125 watts.
In larger spaces,
additional
Boston
Bravos
may
be
necessary.
For
broad,
stereo
coverage, vertical
corner
mounting
of
the
Boston
Bravo will
produce
excellent
results. This
technique
will
work
especially well in situations
where
the
distance
between
the
two
speakers
is
approximately
12
to
18 feet.

designed
the

Bravo

the
most
common
possibilties
for
you
to
