Speaker placement

English

Figure 2

Speakers mounted on a wall

•For best results, mount both speakers horizontally (Figure 2).

•Place them a minimum of seven feet apart, facing the listening area.

•Make sure they do not face each other.

7 ft (2 m), minimum

Note: For Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance, horizontal mounting is required.

Note: Your 151® SE speakers can be mounted vertically. However, when mounted vertically you will not experience Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance.

Note: If you choose to place the speakers on a flat horizontal surface, put a layer of suitable material (such as rubber) under the speaker to prevent speaker movement or damage to the flat surface due to vibration of the speaker.

CAUTION: Do not mount the brackets on surfaces that are not sturdy enough, or that have hazards concealed behind them, such as electrical wire or plumbing. If you are unsure about installing the bracket, contact a qualified professional installer.

CAUTION: Do not install near any heat sources, such as halogen lamps, registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

CAUTION: Do not hang items from the brackets or speakers. Do not place items on top of the speakers. The brackets were designed to support the weight of the speakers only.

CAUTION: The 151 SE speakers are not intended to be installed in automobiles.

Before mounting your speakers

•Check local building codes regarding the installation of outdoor speakers. If you are uncomfortable about installing this product, contact your Bose dealer to arrange for a qual- ified serviceman to help you.

•Measure the length of speaker cord needed to connect each speaker to your amplifier. See “Required tools and materials” for recommended wire lengths and sizes.

•Determine the best route to protect the wire.

•Make sure the speakers cannot fall and cause injuries.

•Keep the speakers at least 9 inches (23 cm) from any video screen or monitor. Bose 151 SE speakers are not magnetically shielded.
