SYSTEM PLACEMENT

Front and rear speaker placement

Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories, including stands and wall brackets. For more information, or to purchase accessories, contact your local Bose® dealer or visit www.Bose.com. To contact Bose directly, refer to the contact list provided in the carton.

CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for each speaker. Vibration can cause speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood.

Front center speaker

Place the center speaker in an upright position on a stable and level surface directly above or below the center of the TV screen or as close to that as possible.

SYSTEM PLACEMENT

OR

• If possible, align the front of the speaker with the front edge of the TV screen.

• Make sure the 20 ft (6.1 m) front speaker cable can reach from the speaker to the Acoustimass® module.

• If you want to place the center speaker on the top of your TV, you can attach the supplied rubber feet (or pad) to the bottom of the speaker to protect the surface of your TV.

Front left and right speakers

Place one speaker to the left and one to the right of the TV.

•Keep each speaker within 3 ft (1 m) of the TV screen to prevent too much separation of the sound from the picture. Vary this distance to suit your room condi- tions and personal preference.

•If any front speakers will be in a bookcase unit, be sure to position them at the front edge of the shelf. Placing them farther back can change the tonal quality of the sound.

•Make sure the 20 ft (6.1 m) front speaker cables will reach from the speakers to the Acoustimass module.

OR	• Rotate the top and bottom cube of each speaker array so that they point in different
	directions and toward a wall or other hard surface to create reflected sound. Refer to
	“Hearing the results of proper placement” on page 11.
	Rear left and right speakers
	Place the speakers at the back of the room at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.
	The longer the path from speakers to ears, the better.
	• Aim the speakers away from the listeners to prevent them from pinpointing the exact
	location of the sound source, which is ideal.
	• Make sure the 50 ft (15.2 m) rear speaker cables will reach from the speakers to the
	Acoustimass module.
	• Rotate the top and bottom cube of each speaker array so that they point in different
	directions and toward a wall or other hard surface to create reflected sound. Refer to
	“Hearing the results of proper placement” on page 11.
