Rear Stand Installation Instructions

The Boston Bravo 20 can be used horizontally on an untilted flat surface, such as a table, shelf or the top of a rear projection TV using the included rear bracket stand.

First mount the speaker to the bracket (see above).

Next, place the speaker in the location that you intend to use it in (ie, correct grille/logo and tweeter/woofer orientation). Hold the stand in an upright position as indicated (note that the stand angles away from the bracket). Line up the stand with the lower slot in the bracket so that the 2 middle “fingers” are on either side of the web that bisects the slot. Slightly angle the stand away from the bracket and push the stand fingers up into the slot so that the 4 in- ner “fingers” are placed inside the slot and the 2 outer “thumbs” are placed outside the slot. Gently push the stand up into the bracket slot until the “fingers” and “thumbs” snap into place.

Attach the rubber feet to the stand and cabinet (detailed on page 4).

Rotating the Logo for Horizontal Mounting or Placement

The logo plate on the Bravo 20’s grille can be rotated 90° in either direction to enhance the speaker’s appearance when mounting or placing it in a horizontal position. To rotate the logo:

Remove the grille and turn it over.

Locate the logo’s spring loaded post protruding through the bottom inside portion of the grille.

Place your thumb against the post and press firmly until the logo pops forward.

Rotate the logo to the desired position and release pressure on the post allowing it to snap back into the seated position.

Listening Levels and Power Handling

The listed power recommendations in the Specifications section assume you will operate your system in a way that will not produce distortion. Even these rugged speakers can be damaged by a modest amplifier if it produces distortion. If you hear a harsh, gritty noise, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of your speaker with a distorted signal from the amplifier can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty.
