Setting Up Selecting the location for your speakers Prior to installation, carefully select locations for your Free Space® 51 speakers. The speakers can be installed on almost any surface such as wood, concrete, or the ground. When choosing a location, please keep the following guidelines in mind: Figure 2 Speaker placement for optimal coverage (3-4 m) (3-4 m) Primary Coverage Area Figure 3 Free Space 51 installation • Select a level surface for your speakers. This will prevent movement or vibration during use. • Place your speakers where the speaker cord cannot be tripped over, pinched, or pulled. • Do not place your speakers in an area where water tends to collect. • Do not bury your Free Space 51 speakers deeper than 7 1/4 inches (18.4 cm) (Figure 3a). • Use wood screws to fasten the speaker to a wood surface, such as a deck, if desired (Figure 3b). (a) ground 1/2" (1.3 cm) (b) deck Choosing the speaker cord (not provided) WARNING: Before running speaker cord through a wall or under ground, check your local building code requirements, or contact an electrical installer. • Use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord. See "Cord recommendations" under "Technical Information" on page 9 for proper gauge, or check with your authorized Bose® dealer. • If your installation requires the cord to be buried in the ground, use direct-burial rated cable or run the cord through a PVC piping channel. Always use moisture-resistant speaker cord. • Place speakers and run cord before digging holes or burying cord. • If you think your speaker cord may be exposed to salt water or water containing chemicals such as chlorine or fertilizers, you may use a silicone caulking material as added protection for the speaker connections. 5
