locations

When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected

and direct sound provides a good stereo image virtually everywhere in the room. You may

experiment with the placement and orientation of the cubes and the Acoustimass

produce the sound most pleasing to you.

To adjust your system for the characteristics of your listening room, see "Fine-tuning your

system" on page 23.

Speaker locations

Follow these guidelines to select locations for your Lifestyle

cables allow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) distance from the Acoustimass

CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the

speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished

wood. For additional stability, you can add rubber feet to your speakers. You may obtain

rubber feet (part no. 178321), free of charge, from Bose

(see listings on the inside back cover).

1. For the most lifelike sound, place the cube arrays 6-12 feet (1.8-3.6 m) apart. They can be

as close as 3 feet (1 m) or as far apart as 15 feet (4.6 m).

2. Direct one cube of each array forward. Direct the other cube toward the wall or in a

different direction to create reflected sound. (See the illustration of reflected sound pat-

terns in Figure 2.)

Note: The cube speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them close to a

TV without affecting picture quality.

Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front

edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the

sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.
