Shape + BL 2 — subwoofer settings?

I have a 4-speaker Shape and a BL 2 attached. I’ve been fiddling with the switches on the sub. Does anyone know what B&O recommends for the ‘Setting’ switch? Position 1, 2, or 3?

Hi Frederic,

It changes the output level of the BL2.

Setting 1 was for BeoLab 1, and setting 3 was for BeoLab 2500. Setting 2 was for everything (contemporaneous) in between.

Adding to the information already provided by Lawrence.  

 

In the service manual you find this information:

 

"Switch for loudspeaker position

Free, Wall or Corner

Input sensitivity

Adjustable by three position switch

Corresponding to 83 dB, 88 dB or 91 dB for main speakers"

 

Setting 1 = BL1 = targeting 91db = it will play louder compared to setting 2 or 3.

Thank you both.  I didn’t think to look in the service manual, and the user manual doesn’t really address the question.  I assumed that the ‘setting’ switch controlled the crossover frequency; I stand corrected.

Yeah.... When I got mine and wanted to use it with a non-B&O AV receiver I didn't find the information I wanted in the user manual either. Thought the switch would affect cross over as well. 

Read in a different post it is fixed around 90hz.

How did you connect the BL2 to the shape?

Powerlink RJ-45 out of the Core, into PL jack in BL2.  Cable from Steve @ Sounds Heavenly.  I didn't run a loop back from the BL2 to the Shape.  Received conflicting advice about this.  I went the simplest route.
