BRX BOOKSHELF REFERENCE X Ultra-High-Performance Bookshelf/Stand-Mount Speaker Owner’s Manual
Bookshelf Reference X Owner’s Manual Congratulations! Congratulations and thank you for purchasing GoldenEar Technology’s® BRX speakers! You are about to hear the spectacular difference these very special speakers will make in your music and/or home theater system! Our engineers’ many years of experience in developing loudspeakers has led to this extraordinary product.
Preventing Speaker Damage USE AN APPROPRIATE AMPLIFIER. At high volumes a very powerful amplifier can overdrive your speakers and damage them. And if the amplifier is not powerful enough, it can produce distortion that can easily damage your speaker. (Consult your dealer for assistance.) DON’T BE FOOLED BY YOUR RECEIVER’S VOLUME CONTROL. It only adjusts how loud, it is not an indication of power output.
Bookshelf Reference X Owner’s Manual The Right Amount of Power A power-range rating is given in the specifications as a guide to indicate the approximate minimum and maximum power input of your GoldenEar BRX speakers. Amplifiers that meet or even exceed the speaker’s power-range rating are recommended as their greater power reserves provide better sound. But always use the speakers within their power-range rating to prevent damage — that is, keep listening levels below the point of obvious audible distortion.
Speaker Placement GoldenEar Technology BRX speakers are designed to allow flexible placement while providing a very large window of sound throughout your listening room. Please remember that although the following recommendations are usually valid, all rooms and listening sets-ups are somewhat unique, so do not be afraid to experiment with the speakers. Remember, whatever sounds best to you is correct.
Bookshelf Reference X Owner’s Manual Positioning BRX as Left/Right Fronts To ensure the best performance possible, observe the following placement guidelines: Accurate Timbre: For the most accurate and natural timbre, speakers’ high-frequency drivers should be at approximately ear level. Balanced Bass: Placing speakers in corners will over-emphasize bass and reduce overall clarity.
Speaker Break-in Your new BRX loudspeaker system should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing time is required to reach full audiophile performance capability. Break-in allows the driver suspensions to work-in and crossover components to “heal,” resulting in fuller and tighter bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.
