Placing your speakers to achieve realistic home theater sound
Keep these guidelines in mind when choosing a location for each speaker:
• The Acoustimass
®
module should be at least 2 feet (.6 m) from your TV set to prevent
interference.
• All of the small speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with a TV picture.
• Select a stable and level surface for each of the small speakers.
Vibration can cause them to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or
highly polished wood. To prevent this problem, rubber feet are provided for attachment to
the bottom of the center front speaker.
Note: You may order additional rubber feet, free of charge, by contacting Bose. Refer to the
address list included in the carton.
• In an Acoustimass 10 system, the center front speaker is for use at the front of the room
and near the center of your TV. The other cube array speakers are identical and can be
placed interchangeably around the room (Figure 2a and 2b).
• The top and bottom cube on each cube array speaker can be rotated to create
room-filling sound patterns.
• In the Acoustimass 6 system, all five single cube speakers are identical and can be placed
interchangeably around the room (Figure 2c and 2d).
The shape and size of your room and location of the furniture in it will affect your choice of
speaker locations. Use the examples below as the basis, but not the rule, for your home
theater setup.
