Positioning the speakers
Choosing a good location for the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround
effects that your 3•2•1
GSX
home entertainment system is designed to deliver.
Place the left and right speakers at least
3 feet (1 meter) apart from each other
to opti-
mize the surround sound experience (Figure 3).
Place each speaker
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the edge of the TV screen
.
Placing the
speakers more than 3 feet away from the TV can cause the sound to become separated
from the picture.
If you are using a bookshelf or a home entertainment unit, place each speaker at the
front edge
of its shelf
Positioning the speakers too far back in an enclosed space can
change the overall quality of sound and alter the movie sound effects.
CAUTION:
Choose a stable and level surface for both speakers. Vibration can cause the speak-
ers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If you
are placing the speakers on a flat surface, be sure to attach one set of the small rubber feet to the
bottom surface of each speaker. You can obtain additional rubber feet (PN 178321) from Bose
®
Customer Service. To contact Bose, refer to the list of offices included in the product carton.
Note:
The speakers can be mounted on Bose brackets, table stands, or floor stands. For order-
ing information, refer to “Accessories” on page 65. Additional or longer cables may also be
ordered.
Figure 3
Recommended speaker
placement
Set the speakers on their bottom surfaces, only, with the Bose logo right-side up.
Aim the speakers straight ahead into the listening area. Do not place the speakers at an
angle.
Angling one or both speakers into or away from the listening area signifi-
cantly alters system performance.
