phere to put your oustimass° system se" designed your AM-500"' Acoustimass speakers for flexible placement. For the best balance of CD sound, Bose recommends putting your bass module and cube speak- ers at the same end of the room, when possible. Refer to the following guidelines and Figure 2 to find speaker locations that fit your needs. Bass module x O x You can place your Acoustimass bass module vertically or horizontally almost anywhere in your room (Figures 2 and 3). Consider hiding it in a corner, under a table, or behind a sofa. For the best sound, follow these guidelines: • Place the module along a wall about 3 to 5 feet (1 - 1.5 m) from the corner. • Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between the bass module opening end any surface. For more bass, move the module toward the corner and turn the opening toward the wall. • To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (.6 m) from any video screen. 3 - 5 feet from corner Cube speakers For a natural sound in most rooms, put the cube speakers on either side of the room, 6 to 12 feet (1.8 - 3.6 m) apart. For use with your television, put them on either side of the televi- C sion screen about 3 feet (1 m) apart. Magnetic shielding in the speakers protects the TV picture from interference. Note: Set cube speakers only on surfaces that are stable and level. For some surfaces, you may want to use rubber feet for additional stability. Bose will provide these rubber feet free of cost. To request them, contact Bose Service (see the inside back page) or your local Bose Service agency and ask for Part Number 178321. Figure 2 Possible locations for your bass module (x) and cube speakers CAUTION: The terminals on the bass module connection panel can cause scratches. To prevent damage, do not put the bass module down on the side with the connection panel. After you decide how to position the bass module, attach the protective rubber feet to the bottom surface.
