Setting Up
Acoustimass
®
module
Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module.
Note:
To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least
18 inches (45 cm) from the TV.
1. Place the Acoustimass module along the same the 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 convenient location – under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture or
drapes to block the ventilation openings of the module.
3. Place the Acoustimass module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and
an AC power (mains) outlet.
4. Select a position for the Acoustimass 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.

Alternate position
5. Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feet
near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and
protection from scratches.
6. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the port
or creating too much bass.
7. For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls or
from a wall and the ceiling.
CAUTION:
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots on
the end provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked.
Music center
Select a location for the music center.
1. Allow enough room to open the CD player cover.
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).
