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.
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
tomer service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system.
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
• 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.

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.
