Bose 201 Loud Owner's guide - Page 4

• • Control positions 1 and 2 provide maximum direct sound energy at high frequencies. These positions should be used: a. if there is no sound-reflecting surface within 3 feet (90cm) of the energy control; b. if the outer edge of the speaker is blocked because of placement limitations: c. for music in which a relatively concentrated stereo image is desirable (sob musicians, small ensembles). Control position 3 provides a normal balance of reflected and direct sound energy. Use this position: a. when there is a sound-reflecting surface within 1-3 feet (30-90 cm) of the energy control; b. for music in which a normal stereo image is desirable (medium-sized performing groups, "studio" pop). Control positions 4 and 5 provide maximum reflected sound energy at high frequencies. These positions should be used: a. only if there is a sound-reflecting surface within 1-3 feet of the energy control; b. for music in which a wide stereo image is desirable (largescale symphonic works. live concerts, electronic music). These guidelines are based on experiments conducted in controlled acoustic environments and may not apply in every listening situation. Try various control settings on each speaker to achieve a spatial balance that satisfies your specific requirements It is not always necessary to adjust both Direct Energy Controls the same way. 9. Maintenance Your 201 speaker enclosures can be cleaned by wiping with a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent. The grille panels require no special care although they may be carefully vacuumed if necessary. All other maintenance should be referred to qualified service personnel. I2C031 10. In Case Of Difficulty II you suspect a problem with your 201 speakers, use the following procedures to determine if the difficulty is actually in the speakers or in some other component of your music system. If one speaker sounds less brilliant than the other, try adjusting the positions of both Direct Energy Controls in accordance with the recommendations in Section 8. If one speaker sounds defective, do not switch the speaker cables, as this could damage a speaker. Disconnect the defective speaker at the amplifier output terminals and reconnect it to the amplifier channel that is operating correctly If the speaker that sounded defective now plays properly, the problem is not in the speaker or wiring. It trouble appears in both speakers, use the same wiring to connect them to another amplifier or receiver that is known to be working properly. If the speakers now operate correctly. the problem is not in the speakers or wiring. If trouble persists in one or both speakers, contact your authorized Bose High Fidelity dealer. He will verity any defects and arrange for service by an authorized service agency or by the Bose factory Bose Corporation willmake every effort to remedy any problem within the terms of the warranty at minimum inconvenience to you. 11.
