To remove this excessive bass
boost, use the POSITION switch
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.
• W (Wall position)
Use this setting if the loudspeaker
is placed so that the front grill is
less than 50 cm (20") from the rear
wall.
Always use this setting if the loud-
speaker is placed on any of the wall
brackets, but also when placed on
one of the stands – close to the
rear wall.
If the loudspeaker is fitted to one
of the table stands – and you have
chosen to place it on the floor – you
should set the POSITION switch to
