Surround speakers

The surround (rear) speakers create an area of sound around the listener. Place them in the

back half of your room. Direct the cubes so that you do not pinpoint the exact location of

the sound source (Figure 3). The surround cables allow the speakers to be placed up to 50

feet (15.2 m) from the Acoustimass

Acoustimass module

Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module.

CAUTION: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the module at least 18 inches

(45 cm) from the TV.

1. Place the module along the same wall as the TV, or close to the same end of the room

as the front speakers (see the example along the front wall in Figure 3).

2. Select a position for the module (Figure 4). For proper ventilation, place it on the long

edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largest side,

with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end, as

shown by the last two views in Figure 4.

rubber feet near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased

stability and protection from scratches.

3. Select a convenient location – under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture or

drapes to block the ventilation openings of the module.

4. Place it within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and an electric outlet.

5. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the

port or creating too much bass.

6. For best bass performance, do not place the module so that the port is at equal

distances from any two walls or from a wall and the ceiling.

Music center

Select a location for the music center.

CAUTION: Be sure the three shipping screws on the bottom of the music center have

been removed before proceeding.

1. Place the music center on a level surface. Allow enough room to lift the door and to

access the headphone jack on the right side panel.

2. Place the music center close enough to the sound sources (TV, VCR, etc.) to allow for

cable length. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all of your

components, see your dealer or call Bose

3. Place the music center within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass module (the length of

the audio input cable).
