However, the most natural sound and best stereo perspective is obtained if it is set up as explained on these pages. The POSITION switch When a loudspeaker is placed in a corner, the bass level is boosted compared to the bass level from a loudspeaker placed in a more free-standing position. To filter out this natural bass boost, the loudspeaker has a switch marked POSITION. The purpose of the switch is 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. The POSITION switch has three settings: · FREE Use this setting if the loudspeaker is placed more than 30 cm (12") from the wall, and no closer to a corner than 65 cm (25") ­ shown by the large light grey area in the illustration on the next page.
