Arranging the left and right front speakers
To best link sound to picture, put the left and right front speakers near your TV (Figure 4).
• Set or mount each speaker in an upright position, 3 feet (1 meter) or less from the edge
of your TV, and lined up with the vertical and horizontal center of the screen, as shown.
We recommend a maximum distance of 3 feet (1 meter) from the edge of the TV screen
to prevent over-separation of sound and picture. Vary this distance to suit your room
conditions and personal preference.
The supplied front cables allow for placement of the speakers up to 20 feet (6.1 meters)
from the Acoustimass
®
module.
Note:
Bose offers a variety of speaker mounting accessories, including stands and wall
brackets. For more information, or to purchase accessories, contact your local Bose
®
dealer or
visit www.bose.com. To contact Bose directly, refer to the address list provided in the carton.
• If any front speakers will be in a bookcase unit, be sure to position them at the front edge of
the shelf. Placing them farther back can change the tonal quality of the sound.

• Rotate the top cube of each speaker array (or single cube) toward the wall or another hard
surface to create reflected sound, as shown in Figure 4, above. This applies to both Front
left and right and Surround left and right speakers.
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 supplied 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.
2. Adjust one cube of each speaker to reflect sound off one or more surfaces.
Do not aim the speakers at listeners. The longer the path from speakers to ears, the better.
