AM264271_00_V

Place your 901

powered speaker system according to the following guidelines (see Figure 2):

CAUTION: To protect the high gloss ﬁnish, do not place a LIFESTYLE

other objects on top of the speakers.

• For good stereo separation, place the powered speaker on the left and the accessory

speaker on the right, along one wall of your room, spaced 4 to 12 feet (1.2–3.6 m) apart.

Place the left speaker within reach of an electric outlet.

• Aim the V-shaped rear panel of each speaker toward the wall behind it. Do not aim the "V"

toward a corner. Ideally, the tip of the "V" should be placed 8 to 16 inches (20–40 cm) from

the wall.

• Place the speakers 2 to 4 feet (60–120 cm) from the side walls.

• Place the speakers at least 2 feet (60 cm) or more from any sound-absorbent furnishings.

When your speakers are placed properly, their sound energy will reﬂect off the walls of your

room in a pattern that will provide a distinct stereo image throughout the listening area. Bose

Direct/Reﬂecting

speakers are designed to produce the proper balance of reﬂected and

direct sound energy to approach concert hall realism in your home. Bose 901 speakers per-

form best when there is space around the speaker cabinets to allow sound to ﬂow freely

around the room.

The acoustics of your room will have a signiﬁcant effect on the sound reproduced by your 901

powered speaker system. Hard materials – wood, brick, glass, wallboard, and paneling –

reﬂect sound most effectively. Upholstered furnishings and heavy drapes are more sound

absorbent. For more discussion of room acoustics, see "Listening to your 901

speaker system" on page 9.
