Placement guidelines

Bose® 201 and 301 speakers are designed to fit horizontally on a stable and level table or shelf (Figure 2).

Place the left and right speakers (marked on the back of each one) on the left and right sides of your room, as you face them. Exactly where you put them depends on the size and style of your room and where you think they sound best. Feel free to experiment to find a location that is both convenient and provides the sound you prefer.

Note: Because the grilles on the front of each speaker protect the drivers inside, we recom- mend that you do not remove them.

CAUTION: 201 and 301 speakers are designed specifically for placement on a stationary shelf, table, or stand. On smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly polished wood, vibra- tions may cause the speakers to slide. So be sure to attach the self-adhesive rubber feet to the bottom surface of each speaker for added stability and protection. The feet go in the cor- ners of the flat surface, 1” back from the center of the curved front panel. Do not use these speakers in a moving vehicle. To mount the speakers on a wall, use only the Bose WB-3 wall mounting bracket. Please follow the mounting instructions that come with these brackets. Improperly mounted speakers may fall, causing injury and damage.

Here are some basic guidelines below:

•Leave at least 24 inches (60 cm) from the speakers to any TV screens or monitors.

•Keep the back of the speakers within 18 inches (45 cm) of the wall behind them.

	18" (45 cm)		RIGHT
	or more
12" (30 cm)	LEFT	4-12'	speaker
or more
	speaker	(1-4 m)
	18" (45 cm)
	or more

CAUTION: For the most realistic sound image, make sure the left speaker is placed on the left and the right speaker is on the right side of your room, as you face them.
