Surround speaker placement
The rear surround speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in the back
half of your room. Direct both cubes of the speaker array (or your single cube speaker) away from
the listeners so that they cannot pinpoint the exact location of the sound source. The surround
cables allow up to 50 feet (15.2 m) distance from the Acoustimass
1. Place the speakers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.
2. Adjust the rear surround speakers to reflect sound off one or more surfaces.
The longer the path from the speaker to your ear, the better. Do not direct the sound straight
at the listener.
Note: Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories, including stands and wall brack-
ets. For further information, or to purchase accessories, contact your local Bose
www.bose.com. To contact Bose, refer to the address sheet included with your system.
Acoustimass module placement
Note: If the serial number on the bottom of the Acoustimass module is not already printed on
your Product Registration card, now is a good time to record it there and in the space provided
on page 3 of this guide.
Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module:
• Place the Acoustimass module along the same wall as the TV, or at the same end of the
room as the front speakers (refer to Figure 4).
Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least
18 inches (45 cm) from the TV. Move it further if you still notice interference.
• Place the Acoustimass module so that the grille with the Bose logo faces the room or is
perpendicular to the wall. This prevents blocking the sound output or creating too much
bass.
• For best bass performance, DO NOT place the Acoustimass module at equal distances
from any two walls or centered between the floor and ceiling.
• For convenience, you may want to slide the Acoustimass module under a table or behind a
cabinet. However, DO NOT allow furniture or drapes to block its ventilation openings.
CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK the slots on the end the module, which provide ventilation for the
built-in electronic circuitry.
• Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and
an AC power (mains) outlet.
