reduce

the

treble

sound

of

your

sys-

tem,

making

it

sound

dull.

The

missing

treble

can

be

restored

by

slightly

turn-

ing

up

the

treble

control

on

the

receiver/amp.

2.

Rooms

with

few

sound

-absorbing

fur-

nishings,

especially

those

with

bare

floors

and

walls,

may

sound

overly

shrill

or

"bright"

because

of

too

much

treble.

Turning

down

the

treble

control

or

adding

sound

absorbers

such

as

throw

carpets

or

drapes

will

usually

solve

this

problem.

3.

If

your

system

seems

to

lack

bass,

try

moving

the

speakers

a

little

closer

to

the

room's

corners.

If

your

system

has

too

much

bass,

move

the

speakers

away

from

the

corners.

The

rule

of

thumb

is

that

the

closer

the

speakers

are

to

the

intersection

of

room

bound-

aries

(such

as

the

corner,

where

two

walls

intersect

each

other

and

the

fl

oor),

the

more

bass

they

will

produce.

By

keeping

this

rule

in

mind,

you

can

tune

your

system

for

your

room.

4.

Many

problems

with

acoustics

can

be

solved

by

the

judicious

use

of

your

tone

controls.

Remember,

though,

that

the

use

of

these

controls

may

put

greater

power

demands

on

your

receiver/amp.

Excessive

tone

con-

trol

can

cause

an

amplifier

or

receiver

to

run

out

of

power

and

distort,

potentially

damaging

your

system.

5.

Outboard

signal

processors

(such

as

graphic

and

parametric

equalizers)

can

be

used

with

the

Bosse

10.2'm

Series

II

speakers

if

a

greater

degree

of

acoustic

control

is

desired.

Consult

your

Bose

dealer

for

advice

and

recommendations.

C.

Maintenance

If

the

finish

on

the

10.2

Series

II

system

is

genuine

hardwood

veneer,

only

a

high

quality

furniture

polish

should

be

used.

If

the

cabinet

finish

is

vinyl,

it

can

be

easily

cleaned

with

a

damp

cloth,

and,

if

neces-

sary,

a

mild

detergent

such

as

dishwash-

ing

liquid.

The

grilles

may

be

careful))

,

vacuumed

if

necessary.

Please

note

that

the

tweeters

are

located

directly

behind

the

grille

cloth,

and

are

easily

damaged.

Avoid

applying

any

pressure

with

the

vacuum

nozzle.

V.

In

Case

You

Have

a

Problem

If

you

experience

any

difficulty

with

your

10.2

Series

II

system,

try

the

following

sim-

ple

test

procedures

fi

rst

to

determine

if

the

speakers

are

at

fault.

The

majority

of

prob-

lems

actually

occur

in

components

other

than

speakers.

A.

If

one

speaker

sounds

defective

(does

not

play

or

plays

distorted

sound),

shut

the

receiver/amplifier

off.

Disconnect

the

defective

speaker

at

the

amplifier

output

terminals

and

reconnect

it

to

the

amplifier

terminals

that

were

connected

to

the

non

-

defective

speaker.

If

the

speaker

that

initially

sounded

defective

now

sounds

correct,

the

problem

is

not

in

the

speaker.

Under

no

circumstances

connect

the

normal

sounding

speaker

to

a

possibly

defective

receiver/amp

channel

or

side.
