Setting Up

Surround cube speakers

The remaining two speakers with gray terminals are to be used as surround speakers. The left and right rear channel sound should reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind. Refer to Figure 5.

•Put one on the left and the other on the right, keeping them as far apart as possible, beside or just to the rear of the home theater seating area.

•Place them high up, to avoid a direct sound path to the ears of the listeners (position 1).

•If you want these speakers directly behind the seating area, make sure they are not directed at the viewers (positions 2 and 3).

•The rear speaker on the left as you face the TV is connected to the LEFT SURROUND jack on the Acoustimass® module.

Acoustimass module

Bose® recommends putting your Acoustimass module at the same end of the room as the television monitor. To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the television.

•You may hide the Acoustimass module behind or under furniture, but do not block the opening. Be sure there is at least 2 inches (5 cm) between the opening and any surface.

•If the opening faces the wall it increases the bass; if it faces away it decreases the bass. For the most bass response, place the opening 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) from a wall or corner.

•Stand the Acoustimass module vertically or horizontally (Figure 6). To stand it on the cable connection end, remove the cover by gently pulling it away.

After selecting a place for the Acoustimass module, attach the larger set of four rubber feet to the bottom surface for additional stability. The feet protect the cable connections and must be mounted when the Acoustimass module is standing on that end.
