The Boston Acoustics Bravo II is a compact 2-way speaker for stereo systems and home theater. The wedge shape of the speaker allows wall-mounting in corners, near ceilings and other tight installations. The Bravo II is equipped with a 1-inch tweeter and a 4-inch woofer, which delivers the bass. You can boost the bass in these comparatively small speakers by following some simple steps.
Instructions
1. Get the speakers off the floor and onto speaker stands. Bass is felt as much as heard, meaning the vibrations from a woofer can be lost to the surrounding environment. The bass vibrations will travel through the speaker cabinet and dissipate into the carpet or floorboards unless you give them some room for air to circulate. Speaker stands are available at home-audio stores.
2. Wall mount the speakers on adjustable mounting brackets available at . A wall mount lets you install a Bravo II speaker at your preferred height, so if you want the bass at ear level from your seating area, you can mount the speaker at the proper height.
3. Move speakers out from the walls as far as possible. Whether you mount them on wall brackets or use speaker stands, Bravo II speakers will deliver better bass if the vibrations are not being absorbed into the walls. Since the speakers' web shape allows for corner installations, one solution would be to mount them on brackets from the ceiling, rather than flush with two walls in a corner.
4. Add a pair of mid-range speakers to your system to take some of the pressure off the woofers in the Bravo II speakers, which are equipped only with tweeters and woofers, but no midrange speaker cone.
5. Adjust the bass setting on your amplifier or receiver to crank up the low-frequency effects.
