Placement guidelines
To avoid interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft. (0.3 – 0.9 m) away from
the system. Place your system outside of and away from metal objects and direct
heat sources.
Component Recommended placement
Console
• Place the console near your components. The recommended placement
is near your TV.
• Do NOT place the TV or any other components on top of your console.
• Place your console in a well-ventilated area.
• Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.
Note: Until your system is completely installed, keep the control console
positioned for easy access to its rear connector panel.
Acoustimass
®
wireless bass
module
• Stand the bass module on its rubber feet along the same wall as your
TV, or along any other wall in the front third of the room.
• Choose a stable and level surface. Vibration can cause the bass module
to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly
polished wood.
• Keep the front side of the bass module at least 3 in. (8 cm) from any
other surface. Blocking the port on the bottom of this side can aect
acoustic performance.

• Place the center speaker on a stable and level surface directly above or
below your TV.
• If placing the speakers in an enclosed bookcase shelf, position them at
the front edge of the shelf.
Rear speakers
• Place the rear speakers toward the back of the room behind the viewers
at ear height (when seated) or higher, if possible.
• Place one speaker on the left side and one speaker on the right side.
• If placing the speakers in an enclosed bookcase shelf, position them at
the front edge of the shelf.
• For a sound that is directed straight at the listener, aim the speakers in
towards the listener.
• For a sound that reflects o the walls to fill the room, aim the speakers
out towards a rear or side wall.
