opt:cns

for

the

Acoustimass'

bass

module.

With

very

few

exceptions,

you

can

place

the

module

wherever

it is

most

convenient

-

in

a

corner,

under

a

table,

or

even

behind

a

sofa.

However.

do

not

cover

the

two

round

openings

on

one

end

—

leave

at

least

2

inches

(5

cm)

of

space

in

front

of

them.

Also,

do

not

block

the

built-in

amplifier

mounted

on

the

rear

of

the

bass

module

(see

Figure

4).

The

amplifier

generates

some

heat

(not

dangerous

to

the

touch)

and

needs

open

air

to

keep

the

heat

from

building

up.

Some

possible

locations

for

the

Acoustimass°

bass

module.

As

a

general

rule,

you

should

place

the

bass

module

at

the

same

end

of

the

room

as

the

cube

strays.

If

you

wish

to

locate

the

bass

module

at

the

opposite

end

of

the

room

from

the

cube

arrays,

try

to

place

it

farther

from

the

listener

than

the

cube

arrays

will

be.

The

bass

module

ordinarily

will

produce

the

most

bass

when

it

is

placed

in

the

Caner

of

a

room.

We

recommend

that

you

place

the

module

along

a

wall,

3

to

5feet

(approximately

1

to

1.5

m)

from

a

corner.

This

provides

a

normal

balance

of

frequencies

from

your

Lifestyle'

5

speaker

system.

For

more

bass,

move

the

module

closer

to

the

walls

or

corners

of

the

room.

For

less

bass,

move

it

away

from

the

walls

or

corners.

Room

compensation

controls

will

also

help

you

vary

the

bass.
