Placement of the small

speakers near a ﬂat wall or

in a corner position

Use the following guidelines to choose locations and positions for the speakers and media

center.

Note: While these guidelines are offered to ensure the best system performance, you may

ﬁnd other placement variations that are more convenient and provide the sound you enjoy.

Keep in mind that the media center connects to both speakers and to the Acoustimass

ule, while the module is the only part of this system that connects to a power outlet.

Placing the small speakers

Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio spacious-

ness and surround effects that your Model 3•2•1 home entertainment system is designed to

deliver.

• Be sure to face each speaker straight ahead (toward the listening area), so it can cover the

broadest listening area (Figure 2).

Note: Angling one or both speakers into or away from the listening area signiﬁcantly alters

system performance.

• If you are using a bookshelf or a home entertainment unit, place each speaker at the front

edge of its shelf .

Note: Positioning these speakers farther back in an enclosed space can change the overall

quality of sound and alter the movie effects.

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

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

wood. If you are placing the speakers on a ﬂat surface, be sure to attach the smaller of the

two sets of supplied rubber feet to the bottom surface. You may obtain additional rubber feet

(part number 178321) from Bose

ofﬁces included in the product carton.
