Bang & Olufsen BEOLAB 11, Manual

Adapt the subwoofer to your setup

Placement is flexible and easy 
with the subwoofer. Due to its 
relative small size it can easily 
be integrated in most home 
environments, and may be 
placed almost anywhere you 
wish in the room. 

To obtain the most natural 

sound you should place the 
subwoofer on the floor in the 

front half of the room – based 
on your favourite listening 

position. 

Setting the POWER LINK and 
LINE switch 

Use this switch to set up your 
system. 

…To a Bang & Olufsen system: 

Use the enclosed Power Link cable 
to connect the subwoofer to your 
system. Set the switch to  
POWER LINK. 

…To a non-Bang & Olufsen 

system: 

Use a special cable with an 
ordinary phono/mini jack plug in 
one end, and a DIN-plug in the 
other (optional accessory, available 
from your Bang & Olufsen retailer). 
Set the switch to LINE. 

Setting the -dB/0dB switch

Use the -dB/0dB switch to adapt 
the output from the subwoofer to 
the sensitivity levels of the different 
connected BeoLab speakers.

Only when using the subwoofer 
with BeoLab 4 PC, set the switch 
to -dB.

For all other speakers, set the 
switch to 0dB.

Ideally the subwoofer should be 

placed at about the same 
distance from your favourite 
listening position as the front set 
of speakers, that is, the left, 

(centre) and right speakers.  

If possible, you should choose a 

placement between the two front 

speakers.
