Placing your speakers

When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, they provide the audio

atmosphere of a home theater. You may experiment with the placement and orientation of the

speakers to produce the sound most pleasing to you.

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. If you are placing the center speaker on top of the television, attach the rubber feet

provided to the bottom of the speaker. You may obtain additional rubber feet by contacting

Bose

customer service. Refer to the Bose address list included with your system.

Note: Do not place a cube speaker on its side, as this diminishes performance.

Left and right front speaker placement

To best match sound and picture, the left and right front speakers should be placed at the

edge of the TV picture (Figure 3).

• Place the speakers up to 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen and line them up with

the center of the TV screen.

Bose recommends a maximum distance of 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen so

that the sound does not become too separated from the picture. You may wish to vary this

distance based on room conditions and personal preference. The front cables allow the

cube speakers to be placed up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimass

module.

• Direct the cube toward the wall or in a different direction to create reﬂected sound. See the

illustration of reﬂected sound patterns in Figure 4 on page 8.
