Placing your speakers to achieve realistic home theater sound
A suggested home theater layout is shown in Figure 2. You may want to place the speakers
differently to take advantage of the sound characteristics of different rooms. Here are some
suggested guidelines for placing your speaker system:
• The cube speakers are identical and can be used for any channel.
• Each of the Acoustimass cube speakers is magnetically shielded to prevent interference
with a TV picture.
• In the Acoustimass 10 system, the top and bottom sections of the cube speaker arrays can
be rotated to create room-filling sound patterns (
Figure 3).
•Bose

wall brackets and floor stands can extend your placement options. See “Accesso-
ries” on page 17. Please follow wall bracket instructions carefully. Proper mounting will
ensure optimum performance and safety from your system.
