Setting Up

Placing your Acoustimass®-6 speakers to achieve realistic home theater sound

The center speaker localizes action and dialogue on your screen. Sound from the center speaker should seem to come from within the picture.

The left and right front speakers create a sound image wider than the screen that seems natural to viewers sitting anywhere in the room.

The surround speakers add subtle sounds and special effects that expand the visual image, bringing the viewer into the center of the action. The surround speakers should be posi- tioned to allow the sound to reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind.

You can place the front and center speakers near a TV screen with no picture interference, because all of the cube speakers are magnetically shielded.

The Acoustimass module is not magnetically shielded and should be at least 2 feet (60 cm) from your screen, but at the same end of the room as the front and center speakers. Bose® Acoustimass speaker technology takes advantage of the fact that the source of bass sound is difficult to locate, so you can hide the Acoustimass module conveniently out of sight.

Placing it near a corner increases bass output from the module.

A suggested home theater layout that conforms to the guidelines described above is shown in Figure 2.

You may choose to place the speakers differently, to take advantage of the sound charac- teristics of different rooms. For instance, where walls are absent or the room is large, you may prefer not to angle the left and right speakers as shown. You can experiment to find the best position.

Your speakers come with sufficient cable lengths to allow you to have the following dis- tances between components:

•Up to 20 feet (6 m) between the Acoustimass module and the receiver.

•Up to 20 feet (6 m) between the Acoustimass module and the front and center cube speakers.

•Up to 50 feet (15 m) between the Acoustimass module and the surround speakers.
