In

smaller

rooms,

where

the

speakers

will

be

placed

relatively

dose

together,

more

spacious

sound

may

be

preferred.

This

can

be

achieved

by

orienting

each

speaker

with

its

grille

covered

end

facing

outward

and

away

from

the

other

speaker.

In

this

arrangement,

Part

I

will

be

your

left

speaker

and

Part

2

will

be

your

right

speaker.

With

the

orientation

of

your

speakers

determined,

place

the

left

and

right

speak-

ers

on

the

left

and

right

sides

of

the

room,

respectively,

spacing

them

3

to

12

feet

(.9

to

3.6

m)

apart.

Vertical

placement,

so

the

tweeters

face

directly

up

or

down,

is

not

recommended.

Position

the

speakers

at

least

12

inches

(30

cm)

away

from

side

walls.

For

bass

response

The

most

accurate

bass

response

results

when

the

speakers

are

set

less

than

18

inches

(45

cm)

away

from

the

wall

behind

them,

and

more

than

18

inches

from

the

floor

or

ceiling.

Avoid

placing

the

speakers

exactly

halfway

between

the

floor

and

ceiling.

If

your

music

system

seems

to

be

lacking

in

deep

bass,

try

moving

the

speakers

closer

to

the

wall

behind

them

and/or

nearer

to

the

corners

of

the

listening

room.

Heavy,

"booming"

bass

can

be

softened

by

moving

the

speakers

away

from

corners

and

walls.

For

use

with

video

The

201'

speakers

are

suitable

for

video

sound

applications.

Place

one

speaker

on

either

side

of

your

TV

screen,

making

sure

that

each

speaker

i8

at

least

24

inches

from

the

screen

to

avoid

picture

interference.

See

For

lifelike

sound,

previous

page.

Connecting

your

speaker

wires

Use

of

the

proper

gauge

(thickness)

of

speaker

wire

is

important.

Standard

zip

cord

(2

-conductor,

18

-gauge

wire

found

at

electrical

and

hardware

stores)

can

be

used

in

most

applications.

If

your

speakers

will

be

positioned

more

than

30

feet

from

the

receiver

or

amplifier,

check

with

your

Bose
