Speaker Location - B&K Reference 50 Owner's Manual

Speaker Location

Ideally your speakers will be the same distance away from your listening area. However, physical limitations
usually require placing the speaker in other than optimum locations. Your processor contains a means to
electronically move each speaker's location. This allows for superior reproduction of the directional cues available
during the playback of movie or music. Measure the distance in feet to your speakers and set each speaker
location setting to this distance. Your processor will electronically "move" each speaker to maintain correct time
alignment with the listening position. You may also change the units to meters, if you prefer.
