Setting Up
Front left and right cube speakers
The front left and right speaker arrays create a sound image wider than the screen that seems
natural to viewers sitting anywhere in the room. You can place the speaker arrays near a TV
screen with no picture interference. Place the front cube arrays on either side of your TV, at
least 6 feet (2 m), or as much as 15 feet (5 m) apart (see
Figure 2).
Rear cube speakers
The rear, or surround, cube speakers add discrete sounds and special effects that expand the
visual image, bringing the viewer into the center of the action. The rear cube speakers may
carry dialogue as well.
• Position the left and right rear cube speakers to allow the sound to reach the viewer from
both sides, rather than from directly behind (see
Figure 3).
• Place the rear cube speakers at ear height or higher, if possible.
• For the Acoustimass
®
10 system, rotate the top and bottom sections of the rear cube
speaker arrays to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener (see
Figure 3).
• For the Acoustimass 6 system, aim the rear cube speakers slightly behind the listener or
reflect the sound off the rear wall (see
Figure 3).
Powered Acoustimass module
Bose
®
Acoustimass speaker technology takes advantage of the fact that the source of pure
bass sound is difficult to locate, so you can hide the powered Acoustimass module conve
-
niently out of sight. Place the module at the same end of the room as the television monitor.
• You may hide the module behind furniture, but do not block the opening. Be sure there are
at least 2 inches (5 cm) between the opening and any surface.
• If the opening faces the wall it increases the bass; if it faces away it decreases the bass.
CAUTION: To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2þfeetþ(.6 m) from your TV set.

Note: Placing the module horizontally, or on its
side, may reduce ventilation, inhibiting its ability to
play at full output for extended periods of time.
