Owner’s manual
Introduction
Thank you for choosing B&W. Please read this manual

Environmental Information
B&W products are designed to comply with
international directives on the Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and
electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The
crossed wheelie bin symbol indicates compliance and
that the products must be appropriately recycled or
processed in accordance with these directives.
Carton Contents
Check in the carton for:
1 Foam plug.
4 Self-adhesive rubber pads.
Positioning
If using a projection television with an acoustically
transparent screen, place the speaker behind the
centre of the screen. Otherwise position it directly
above or below the screen, whichever is closest to ear
level. Align the front of the speaker approximately level
with the screen. The speaker is best used mounted on
a rigid shelf or wall bracket or on a rigid floor stand.
The B&W FS-700/CM stand is recommended.
If the speaker is to be placed either directly on top of
a television or in a rack shared with other AV
equipment, fix the 4 self-adhesive pads to the base of
the speaker. They provide a degree of vibration
isolation. The flat area on top of the television may be
smaller than the base of the speaker, so position the
feet accordingly.
Stray Magnetic Fields
The speaker drive units are magnetically shielded such
that the stray magnetic field outside the boundaries of
the cabinet, except the front, is too low to cause
distortion of the television picture in the vast majority
of cases.

field. If you have a problem, first de-magnetise the
