Using the Boston Bravo as a Surround Speaker
Two Boston Bravos can be used as surround speakers for Dolby
®
DTS
surround sound formats. A third or fourth Boston Bravo can be added for use with Surround EX and DTS
surround sound formats. In general, best results will be obtained when the surround speakers are placed above ear
level and either behind or beside the listening area. However, if attaching speakers to the wall is not an option, then
the Boston Bravos can be placed horizontally directly on the floor. Since the low frequency limit of the Boston Bravo
is approximately 80Hz, speaker bass management should be set to "small." This will redirect the surround channels'
bass information to either the system's subwoofer or main speakers. Please consult your surround sound electronics
owner's manual for additional information about speaker placement and bass management
Using the Boston Bravo as a Main Speaker
The Boston Bravo can provide exceptional performance from 80Hz and above. For deep bass reproduction, a
powered subwoofer might be a suitable addition to the Boston Bravo. In small or medium size rooms, two
Boston Bravos should provide ample volume, given appropriate amplifier power of between 15 and 125 watts.
In larger spaces, additional Boston Bravos may be necessary.
For broad, stereo coverage, vertical corner mounting of the Boston Bravo will produce excellent results. This
technique will work especially well in situations where the distance between the two speakers is approximately
12 to 18 feet.
