Positions for the two surround speakers

The placement goal for rear surround speakers is to create an area of sound around the listener.

By locating them in the back half of your room and directing the cubes away from the listeners,

you prevent them from pinpointing the exact location of the sound source, which is ideal.

The surround speaker cables allow for up to 50 feet (15.2 meters) from the Acoustimass

module.

1. Place the speakers at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.The longer the path

from speakers to ears, the better.

2. Adjust one cube of each speaker to reflect sound off one or more surfaces.

Location choices for the Acoustimass



module

Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 and follow these guidelines for selecting a floor location for place-

ment of the Acoustimass module:

• Along the same wall as the TV, or the same end of the room as the front speakers.

• At least 18 inches (45 centimeters) from the TV to avoid magnetically interfering with the TV

image. Move it farther away if you still notice interference.

• Positioned with its grille (with a Bose

logo) facing into the room or perpendicular to the

closest wall. This prevents the wall from blocking sound output or boosting the bass.

• Where it is not centered between two walls or between a floor and ceiling.

• Within reach of the audio input cable (30 feet or 9.1 meters); the five speaker cables 

(20 feet or 6.1 meters for front and center speakers; 50 feet or 15.2 meters for surround

speakers), and your AC power (mains) outlet.

• On its two sides, its top, or its bottom, but NOT standing on either end (Figure 5).

CAUTION:

Do not block the ventilation slots for the built-in electronic circuitry in the module.
