Setting
Up
Left
and
right
lront
cube
speakers
The left and right front speakers create a sound image wider than the screen that seems
natural to viewers sitting anywhere
in
the room.
You
can place them near a
TV
screen with no
picture interference. See figure
2.
• Place the front cube arrays on either side of your
TV,
at least 6 feet
(2
m),
or
as
much
as
15 feet
(5
m)
apart.
Surround
cube
speakers
The surround, or
rear,
speakers add discrete sounds and special effects that expand the
visual image, bringing the viewer into the center of the action.
The
surround speakers may
carry dialog
as
well. The surround speakers should be positioned to allow the sound
to
reach
the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind. See Figure
2.
• 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.
• If you want these speakers directly behind the seating area, make sure they are not
directed at the viewers.
Powered
Acoustimass®
module
Bose®
Acoustimass speaker technology takes advantage of the fact that the source of pure
bass sound
is
difficult
to
locate, so you can hide the Powered Acoustimass module conve-
niently out of sight. Place the module at the same end of the room
as
the television monitor.
•
You
may hide the 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.
•
You
may stand the Powered Acoustimass module vertically or horizontally (Figure
3).
• After selecting a place for the module, attach the larger set of four rubber feet
to
the
bottom surface for additional stability.
A
CAUTION:
To
prevent interference, keep the module
at
least 2 feet
(6
m) from the televi-
sion.
