speakers
Bose> 301 speakers are
designed
to
fit
horizontally on a
table
or
shelf
(Figure 2)
Be
sure
to
choose
a stable
and
level surface
for
each speaker
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
recommend that you do
not
remove the grilles
Here are
some
basic
guidelines
• Place
the

to
12 feet

the

at
least
18
inches
(45 em)
from
the

to
the
floor
or

at
least
24
inches (60 cm)
from
the
speakers

inches
(45 cm)
of
the

added
stability
and
protection
The
