Select the locations for your 301
®
Bose
301 speakers are designed to fit horizontally on a table or shelf (Figure 2). Be sure to
choose a stable and level surface for each speaker.
Place the left and right speakers (marked on the back of each one) on the left and right
sides of your room, as you face them. Exactly where you put them depends on the size and
style of your room and where you think they sound best. Feel free to experiment to find a
location that is both convenient and provides the sound you prefer.
Note: Because the grilles on the front of each speaker protect the drivers inside, we
recommend that you do not remove the grilles.
Here are some basic guidelines:
•
Place the speakers 4 to 12 feet (1 to 4 m) apart.
•
Choose a stable and level surface for each speaker, and attach the rubber feet.
•
Leave at least 12 inches (30 cm) of space from the end of a speaker to the side wall.
•
Leave at least 18 inches (45 cm) from the speakers to the floor or ceiling.
•
Leave at least 24 inches (60 cm) from the speakers to any TV screens or monitors.
•
Keep the back of the speakers within 18 inches (45 cm) of the wall behind them.
•
Do not place the speakers exactly halfway between the floor and ceiling or any other
sound-reflecting hard surface.
•
Do not put the speakers in a vertical position.
Note: Bose speaker stands or wall brackets can extend your placement options. See
"Optional accessories" on page 10.

Setting Up
CAUTION:
301 speakers are designed
specifically for placement on a
stationary shelf, table, or stand.
On smooth surfaces like
marble, glass or highly pol-
ished wood, vibrations may
cause the speakers to slide.
So be sure to attach the self-
adhesive rubber feet to the
bottom surface of each
speaker for added stability and
protection. The feet go in the
corners of the flat surface,
inside the seam.
Do not use these speakers in
a moving vehicle.
To mount the speakers on a
wall, use only the Bose WB-3
wall mounting bracket. Please
follow the mounting instructions
that come with these brackets.
Improperly mounted speakers
may fall, causing injury and
damage.
To contact Bose, please refer
to the subsidiary offices
listed on the inside back

cover of this owner's guide.
Placement guidelines
CAUTION:
For the most realistic sound
image, make sure the left
speaker is placed on the left
and the right speaker is on
the right side of your room, as
you face them.
