Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 2 Manual - page 8

BeoLab 2 can be placed almost
anywhere in a room. However, the
most natural sound and best
stereo/surround sound experience
is obtained if BeoLab 2 is set up
according to the guidelines on
these two pages.
To adapt to the sensitivity of the
speaker system connected to
BeoLab 2, it has a SETUP switch
with three settings.
To filter out the natural bass
change obtained if a loudspeaker
is placed e.g. in a corner, as
compared to a more freestanding
position, BeoLab2 has a POSITION
switch with three settings as well.
Setting the SETUP switch
Use the SETUP switch to adapt the output
from BeoLab 2 to the sensitivity levels of
the different BeoLab speakers.
The switch has three settings (1, 2, and 3),
and which switch setting to choose
depends on your speaker setup. The table
to the right shows which setting to use
with the different models of BeoLab
speakers.
If, for example, you have a pair of BeoLab 1
speakers connected to BeoLab 2, you
should set the SETUP switch to 1, and so
on…
If you have a Dolby Digital system, and
therefore no speakers are directly connected to
BeoLab 2, we recommend that you set the
SETUP switch to 3.
Placement – guidelines
Placement is flexible and easy with
BeoLab 2. Due to its relative small size it
can easily be integrated in most home
environments, and may be placed almost
anywhere you wish in the room.
However, to obtain the most natural sound
you should place BeoLab 2 on the floor in
the front half of the room, and with the
front speaker unit facing your listening
position.

position.

Ideally BeoLab 2 should be placed at about
the same distance from your favourite
listening position as the front set of speakers,
that is, the left, (centre) and right speakers.
If possible, you should choose a placement
between the two front speakers.
