Placing
your
speakers
When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, they provide the audio
atmosphere of a home theater.
You
may experiment with the placement and orientation
of
the
speakers
to
produce the sound most pleasing
to
you.
A 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.
If
you
place the center speaker on top
of
the television, for example, be sure
to
attach the supplied
rubber feet
to
the bottom
of
that speaker.
To
obtain additional rubber
feet,
contact
Bose®
cus-
tomer service. Refer to the
Bose address list included with
your
system.
J
Note:
Do not place a cube
or
cube array speaker on its side, as this diminishes performance.
Left
and
right front
speaker
placement
To
best match sound and picture, the left and right front speakers should be placed at the
edge of the
TV
picture (Figure
3).
• Place each speaker up
to
3 feet
(1
m)
from the edge
of
the
TV
screen and line them up with
the center of the TV screen.
Bose recommends a maximum distance
of
3 feet
(1
m)
from the edge of the TV screen so
that the sound does not become
too
separated from the picture.
You
may wish
to
vary this
distance based on room conditions and personal preference. The front cables allow the
speakers to be placed up to 20 feet
(6.1
m)
from the Acoustimass® module.
• Rotate the
top
cube of each speaker array (or the single cube speaker) toward the wall or
in
another direction
to
create reflected sound. See the illustration
of
reflected sound patterns
in
Figure 4 on page
9.

J Note:
If
the center, left,
or
right front speakers will be in a bookcase unit, be sure to place them
at
the front edge
of
the shelf. Placing speakers
in
an enclosed space can change the tonal
quality
of
the sound.
