The Bose° 10.21m Series II system is not very sensitive to placement relative to room walls. However, this distance can affect any speaker's frequency response. Therefore, it is wise to experiment with various locations before determining final placement. A typical location would be at least 3 inches(8 cm) from the wall behind the speaker; this distance will give the best sound in most situations. Placing the 10.2 Series II speaker less than three inches from the wall may block the two round openings in the rear of the speaker, affecting its low-frequency response. Figure 1B.

The

is
not
very
sensitive
to
placement
relative
to

walls.
However,
this
distance
can
affect
any
speaker's
frequency
response.
Therefore,
it
is
wise
to
experiment
with

locations
before
