Overview  
Tweeter  
The HRS-SAT4BIP surround loud-  
The tweeters used in the surround  
speakers are specifically designed to pro-  
vide high output and high performance  
for your home theater. Years of research  
and decades of experience have gone  
into these amazing loudspeakers.  
loudspeakers represent a unique ap-  
proach to tweeter design that results in  
unrivaled performance. It shares design  
elements with tweeters found in very  
expensive European loudspeakers, with  
a frequency response that is flat to above  
ꢀ0 kHz for crystal-clear detail from any  
source.  
Sunfire created the category of small-  
box, high-power subwoofers more than  
a decade ago with the original True  
Subwoofer. This design relies on high-  
pressure, “High Back-emf” technology  
that provides very high bass output from  
a very small box. When migrating this  
subwoofer technology to the woofer of  
these HRS surround loudspeakers, you  
get the same advantages: high output,  
small size, high efficiency, and years of  
trouble-free operation.  
The 1" ring radiating silk dome offers  
instantaneous response and wide disper-  
sion. The tweeter's vented back chamber  
contributes to high power handling,  
improves frequency response with lower  
distortion, and provides superior transi-  
tion from high frequencies to the critical  
midrange.  
Cabinet and baffle  
Woofers  
The woofer and tweeters are mounted  
to a cast aluminum front baffle that is  
clamped to the cabinet from the rear,  
forming a fully-sealed enclosure. This  
clamping design produces a stiff cabinet  
that is very resistant to vibration, result-  
ing in tight bass response, high fidelity  
reproduction, and high output for music  
and movies.  
The “Trifilar” voice coil (actually 3  
dual voice coils wound in parallel) has  
a much higher output than conventional  
multi-layer voice coil designs, and is  
also significantly lighter. This, combined  
with the lightweight and incredibly-strong  
Kevlar® cone, means that the driver  
responds very quickly. As a result, drum  
kicks, and other percussive effects will  
sound tighter and more lifelike. Having a  
lightweight woofer means that it has im-  
proved top-end response. This makes for  
smoother integration with the tweeter in  
the critical upper midrange, lower treble  
range – where much of the vocal informa-  
tion lives. As a result, vocals and dialog  
sound very natural – not muffled or tinny.  
Nine layers of paint and clear coats  
provide an elegant scratch-resistant finish  
that matches the HRS subwoofers and  
loudspeakers.  
The woofer's 1" excursion is up to four  
times that of conventional woofers, and  
provides the highest power handling in  
its class.  
The cast aluminum basket offers more  
rigidity than the typical stamped variety.  
When driven at high volume, they will not  
flex, and the result is tight bass at high  
volume, with very low distortion.

3. Grilles  
1. Mounting Brackets  
The tweeter and woofer grilles are held  
in place with small magnets, and can  
be easily removed if required. Gently  
pry them off by hand by lifting the cor-  
ners one at a time.  
Each surround loudspeaker has two  
keyhole brackets that allow for wall  
mounting horizontally or vertically.  
ꢀ. Binding Posts  
The gold-plated spring-loaded termi-  
nals accept bare wire, tinned-wire, or  
pins. Always use high quality connec-  
tions and speaker wires, and make  
sure there are no loose fittings or stray  
wire strands.  
Connect the positive speaker-level  
output of your power amplifier or  
receiver to the positive (red) input of  
the loudspeaker. Connect the negative  
speaker-level output of your power am-  
plifier or receiver to the negative (black)  
input of the loudspeaker.  
The magnetic logo badge fits either  
vertically or horizontally in shallow re-  
cesses in the woofer grille, depending  
on how you are using the loudspeaker.  
4. Threaded Insert  
Make sure that the positive and nega-  
tive connections do not touch, or this  
may damage your power amplifier.  
This 1/4-ꢀ0 threaded insert allows the  
loudspeaker to be attached to com-  
monly available wall mounts, instead of  
using the keyhole brackets.

Loudspeaker Locations  
To nd the best location for your left,  
7.1 Configuration  
right, and center loudspeakers and the  
subwoofer, we recommend that you  
consult their owner's manuals. The HRS-  
SAT4BIP bipole loudspeakers are used  
as surround and surround-back loud-  
speakers in the following configurations.  
Sunfire home theater processors and  
receivers have two extra outputs for sur-  
round back loudspeakers. These create  
a wonderful sense of realism in surround  
effects during playback of Dolby Digital  
EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS-ES.  
Keep the loudspeakers away from  
any TV display, computer, VCR or  
magnetic tapes and discs. This will  
reduce the chance of the magnetic  
fields upsetting the TV screen or erasing  
magnetic media.  
Set the surround back loudspeak-  
ers behind and between the surround  
loudspeakers.  
5.1 Configuration  
Place each surround loudspeaker an  
equal distance away from the central  
listening position, and keep them at least  
one or two feet above ear level (with you  
sitting down).  
They can be placed on the side walls  
at either side of the listening position as  
shown below, or further back, up to  
approximately ꢀ0 degrees behind you.

The tweeters will create desired reflec-  
tions from the side and rear walls. This  
broadens the soundstage so that you  
cannot distinguish the sound as coming  
from the loudspeakers, but rather from a  
larger area behind you.

Using a subwoofer  
The loudspeakers are designed to  
be used with a subwoofer to fill in  
the lower frequency range. They  
Subwoofer Location  
The best location for a single  
subwoofer can be found by following  
these steps:  
are not designed to accept ꢀ00 watts of  
power at the full frequency range.  
1. Place the subwoofer on your couch  
or favorite easy-listening chair.  
The Sunfire High Resolution Series  
subwoofers are a perfect match for these  
surround loudspeakers. There are a vari-  
ety of HRS subwoofer models to choose  
from to match your system.  
ꢀ. You can then either run a calibra-  
tion (noise) signal through it, or  
play some of your favorite music  
samples with heavy bass.  
Ideally, your system should be  
designed so the surround loudspeak-  
ers receive the range above 95 Hz, with  
a subwoofer to handle the frequencies  
below 95 Hz.  
3. Walk around the room, standing in  
all the positions where you might  
be able to place the subwoofer.  
This is usually somewhere close  
to the corners of the room. Try  
locations fairly close to the front  
loudspeakers, and try crouching  
down low.  
Sunfire home theater processors and  
receivers have a bass management sys-  
tem that allows you to redirect the bass  
frequency range of each channel to the  
subwoofer. The advantages are :  
4. Find the place in the room where  
the bass output from the subwoofer  
is most even. Shut things down and  
install the subwoofer there.  
The overall bass of the system is  
improved, as subwoofers, such as  
Sunfire's powered HRS subwoofers  
are specially designed for this  
frequency range.  
5. This is the best position for the  
subwoofer. The bass will sound the  
best when you are sitting in your  
normal listening position.  
The subwoofer can simultaneously  
play the bass from all of the loud-  
speakers, in addition to it’s own low  
frequency effects channel (LFE).  
There is no loss in perception of the  
position of movie or music sound  
effects, as the ear cannot easily  
locate the position of bass sound  
sources.  
Compact loudspeakers can be  
used for front, center and sur-  
rounds, as they do not have to  
reproduce the low frequency range.  
This leads to a saving in room  
space.  
Your amplifiers do not waste power  
reproducing the low frequency  
range.

Installation  
Read the details on page 6 to help  
determine the best position for your  
loudspeakers.  
Preliminary steps:  
Clear the area where you are going  
to work, so it will be safe.  
The loudspeakers can be wall-  
mounted, or simply placed on shelves or  
cabinets  
Make sure there is no wiring, or  
gas or water pipes behind the wall  
where you are going to drill!  
To wall-mount the loudspeakers, please  
follow the instructions below.  
Temporarily remove any wall-  
mounted flat screen display if you  
will be working close to it.  
Tools required:  
We recommend mounting the loud-  
speakers into a wall stud.  
Phillips screwdriver  
Pencil or other marker  
Electric drill and 5/16" drill bit  
Level  
We recommend that the loudspeak-  
ers are mounted horizontally, al-  
though vertical mounting is offered  
as an option.  
Safety glasses  
Step ladder if needed  
Electronic stud finder  
If you have to mount the loud-  
speakers onto a masonry wall, we  
recommend that you consult with  
your hardware supplier to buy suit-  
able masonry hardware.  
Wood screws and dry wall anchors  
with screws are supplied  
The HRS-SAT4BIP weighs 7.0 lb.  
(3.2 kg). You should allow a good  
safety margin when mounting. If in  
doubt, please contact your Sunfire  
dealer for professional installation.

6. For holes into dry wall, press a dry  
wall anchor into each hole, and  
Wall-mounting the  
HRS-SAT4BIP  
gently tap them in flush. Tighten the  
screws by hand, until the heads are  
sticking out approximately 1/8".  
The HRS-SAT4C comes with a wall-  
mount template to help mark the correct  
position for the two mounting screws. It is  
recommended that you get at least one  
of the screws into a wall stud, if possible.  
If this is not possible, then two dry wall  
anchors and screws are supplied.  
7. To reduce the chance of the loud-  
speaker vibrating against the wall,  
place the supplied anti-vibration  
pads in two locations on the rear  
panel as shown.  
1. Use a studfinder to find the location  
of a suitable wall stud.  
High Resolution Series HRS-SAT4BIP  
ꢀ. Position the wall-mount template  
so that one of the holes is over the  
wall stud centerline, at the right  
height. Use a level to make sure  
that the two holes are horizontal (or  
vertical, if that is your preference).  
Anti-vibration pads  
8. Connect your speaker wires to the  
back of the loudspeaker, making  
sure of the correct polarity. Secure  
the wires so their weight is not pull-  
ing against the terminals.  
9. Hold the loudspeaker in place,  
so the keyholes line up with the  
screws on the wall. Make sure that  
the screwheads are securely in the  
keyhole slots. If the loudspeaker  
feels loose, drive the screws in fur-  
ther and remount the loudspeaker.  
3. Mark the wall with a pencil in the  
location of the two holes, and  
remove the template.  
4. Put on your safety glasses. With a  
5/16" drill bit, drill through the dry  
wall at each mark, without drilling  
into the wall stud. Remove any  
dust.  
5. For holes into a wall stud, screw in  
the supplied woodscrew into the  
wall stud by hand, until the head is  
sticking out approximately 1/8".

Poor or no sound  
Check all the connections from the  
loudspeaker to the amplifier or receiver.  
Swap loudspeakers around, and see  
if the poor sound follows a particular  
loudspeaker.  
NOTE: Before sending in your unit for repair,  
you must call Sunfire for return authorization.  
Check that your amplifier is not driven  
too hard or is clipping. Even a low-  
powered amplifier driven into clipping  
can cause distortion, or damage your  
loudspeakers.

if repairs were covered by the scope of this  
Warranty.  
Many processor/preamps can send  
test tones through all the loudspeakers  
in your system. Use this to adjust the  
volume of each channel until they are  
all playing at the same level. Make sure  
that any bass management options are  
set correctly, and any channels using  
the loudspeakers are set to "small," or  
"95 Hz."  
If the system bass is weak only when  
playing surround sources, check that  
your processor is correctly set to decode  
the surround modes, such as Dolby  
Digital or DTS.  
Some DVD discs have a menu that  
allows you to select which soundtrack  
to play. Check that the correct surround  
audio soundtrack is selected.
