Bose Acoustimass 10 Owner's guide - Page 6

Setting Up Select the locations for your speakers The cables provided with your Acoustimass®-10 system vary in length and provide a great deal of flexibility in speaker placement. Left and right front cube speakers Use the two cube speakers with black terminals. Figure 3 shows suggested ways to achieve an accurate left and right sound image. • Place the front speakers on either side of your TV, at least 6 feet (2 m), or as much as 15 feet (5 m) apart. • Place them in line with the center of the screen for the best sound balance (position 1). Or, place them in a lateral position, with one high and the other low (position 2). Placing them in a line above the top of the TV is a third choice (position 3). • The speaker on the left as you face the TV is connected to the LEFT FRONT jack on the Acoustimass module. 3 2/3 Figure 3 Suggested choices for left and right front speaker placement 1 1 2 Center cube speaker Select one speaker with a gray terminal for the front center speaker. Sound from the center speaker should seem to come from within the picture. Figure 4 shows suggested positions for the center speaker. • Place the center cube speaker above, below, or on top of your television. If below, be sure that the cube speaker is not supporting the weight of the television in any way. • Keep it as close to the vertical center of the screen as possible, for the most accurate dialogue reproduction (positions 1 or 2). CAUTION: If you are placing the center speaker on top of the television, use the smaller of the two sets of four rubber feet provided. This will provide extra stability on surfaces such as marble or glass. Additional rubber feet are available, free, by calling the Bose® customer service numbers inside the back cover of this manual.
