Owner’s manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Bowers & Wilkins.

We are confident that you will enjoy many

years of listening pleasure from your

speakers, but please read this manual fully

before installing them. It will help you

optimise their performance.

B&W maintains a network of dedicated

distributors in over 60 countries who will be

able to help you should you have any

problems your dealer cannot resolve.

Unpacking

We suggest you retain the packing for

future use.

Check in the carton for:

• wall plate

• 2x M6 screws

• mounting template

• rear support leg (FPM2 only)

• 2x clear self-adhesive rubber pads

(FPM2 only)

Positioning

FPM speakers are balanced for their backs

being placed against a wall. However, we

recommend you keep them at least 0.5m

(20 in) from a side wall, otherwise the bass

may be too heavy.

If you intend to attach the speakers to a

wall, first ascertain the optimum position

before permanently fixing them in place.

Unless using the speakers for home theatre

centre channel, we recommend you mount

them in vertical orientation. The spring-

loaded logo badge on the grille may be

rotated after pulling it slightly away from the

cloth.

2-channel audio

As an initial guide (figure 1):

• Position the speakers and the centre of

the listening area approximately at the

corners of an equilateral triangle.

• Keep the speakers at least 1.5m apart to

maintain left-right separation.

If the central image is poor, try moving the

speakers closer together or, if they are not

fixed to the wall using the supplied wall

plate, toeing them in so they point at or just

in front of the listeners (figure 2).

Multi-channel audio/video

Stray magnetic fields

The speaker drive units create stray

magnetic fields that extend beyond the

boundaries of the cabinet. We recommend

you keep magnetically sensitive articles

(CRT television and computer screens,

computer discs, audio and video tapes,

swipe cards and the like) at least 0.5m

(20 in) from the speaker.

Plasma and LCD screens are not affected

by these stray magnetic fields.

Front (figure 3)

left and right

The angle between the speakers should

normally be less than for 2-channel audio –

nearer 40º than 60º. If using a screen, it

may be desirable to place the speakers

closer to the screen for aesthetic reasons,

but be aware that the apparent size of the

acoustic image is related to the left and

right speaker spacing and ideally you

should try to balance this with the picture.

When used with a screen, the mounting

height of the speakers should be matched

to the screen. In an audio-only installation,

set the height so the tweeters at the centre

of the speaker are approximately at ear level.

Centre channel

When used with a screen, orient the

speaker horizontally and place it close to

the top or bottom of the screen, whichever

is nearest ear level. In an audio-only

installation, orient the speaker vertically and

in line with the left and right front speakers.

Surround

Surround speakers are normally placed

around 60cm (2 ft) above ear level. It is not

always necessary or desirable to point

surround speakers directly at the listening

area. Doing so can often attract undue

attention to them, especially when your

head is turned from looking directly to the

front, so experiment before investing in

special brackets.

5.1 systems (figure 4)

Place the speakers approximately 120º

round from front centre. This will determine

whether they are placed on the side or rear

wall.

6.1 systems with one rear speaker

(figure 5)

Place the side speakers in line with the

centre of the listening area and one

speaker centrally on the rear wall.

7.1 systems and 6.1 systems with two

rear speakers (figure 6)

Place the side speakers in line with the

centre of the listening area. Place two

speakers along the rear wall to make an

angle of approximately 40º to the centre of

the listening area.

Connections (figure 7)

All connections should be made with the

equipment switched off.

Ensure the positive terminal on the speaker

(marked +) is connected to the positive

output terminal of the amplifier and

negative (marked –) to negative.
