Assembling the pads of the BRA1

    B --> C["Step 3: Triangle BRA1 with BOREA BRA1 in rectangular block"]

Position the template below the speaker, remove the protective stickers and position the pads.

Positioning the BRA1 on a speaker

The BRA1 fits perfectly on the BOREA 03, 07, 08 and 09 speakers. In this configuration, the BRA1 pointing towards your ceiling, will add an effect of space when playing films or TV programs with this kind of sound format.

It is recommended to set the adjustment switch, located on the terminal block, to the position B. This position increases the high frequency of the speaker and thus compensates for the loss of directivity associated with its orientation.

Positioning the BRA1 on a wall

The BRA1 can be installed on the wall to be used as an effect channel. Using the template, you can easily determine the drilling points on your wall. Use screws and wall anchors adapted to your wallboard. The diameter of the screws must not exceed 4mm.

It is recommended to set the adjustment switch, located on the terminal block, to the position A. This position corresponds to a normal high-frequency level of the speaker in direct transmission.

CONNECTIONS

For optimal sound reproduction, we suggest that you choose a loudspeaker cable of high quality to connect your amplifier to your TRIANGLE loudspeakers. You should use cables of the same length for the left and right channels and take special care to respect the + and - polarity for each channel. Don't forget to strip the cables if it's necessary.

POSITIONING FOR STEREO

When positioning your loudspeakers, apply the following rules:

- Avoid rooms with too much reverberation, such as tiled rooms without carpets or curtains.

- Your listening position should no be too close to the loudspeakers, leave a minimum of 2 m

The distance between the speakers should be a minimum of 2 m for a good stereo effect.

▶ If possible, place the speakers so that sound is «diffused» lengthwise within the room.

- Avoid placing the speaker in corners; they should be at least at 40 cm away from the back wall and at least 50 cm from the sidewalls. Generally, a position close to the rear wall increase the response in the low frequencies (and reduce the imaging) and contrariwise, a position far from the back wall reproduces a wide and deep sound image. Carry out several test positions to find the best room set-up.

>0.4m >0.5m >0.5m >2m >2m

CONNECTIONS FOR A HOME THEATER SETUP

During your speaker installation, please make sure to follow the following rules:

▶ Ensure that you have a high enough cross-section cable, designed specifically for the connection of loudspeakers.
▶ Use identical cable lengths for the left and right speakers. Ensure that the speaker connection polarity (+ and -) is correct. Do not forget to strip the cables if necessary.
- Disconnect your amplifier from AC power during the connection of the speakers. You must check the user's manual of your amplifier to connect your speakers, depending on where they are placed in your room.
The illustration below may be different from the rear panel of your amplifier.

POSITIONING FOR HOME THEATER

A typical home cinema installation includes:

1. Two main speakers, left and right
2. A center speaker
3. One or several subwoofers
4. Surround speakers

To place the main speakers in the best position, follow the same rules as for a stereo installation (see previous page on stereo positioning).

The center speaker should be placed along the line formed by the two main speakers.
For home cinema setups a subwoofer is highly recommended in order to reproduce the special bass effects channel featured on supports such as DVD audio or video. The positioning of the subwoofer is not critical if you select a crossover frequency below 80 Hz. Above this frequency, it is better to move the subwoofer closer to the main speakers. The best position being in between the two main speakers. Ensure that it is not placed in the corner of the room to avoid creating unpleasant resonances.
We recommend that you place the rear speakers at between 1.5 and 2 m of height. Their role is to reproduce surround sound. Ensure that you take into account the weigh of the speaker when fixing it onto the wall.

You will find further instructions for configuring your installation in your A/V amplifier owner's manual.
