Bost

401°

speaker

incorporates

a

weight

in

the

base

of

the

speaker

for

maximum

stability.

Placing

any

object

on

top

of

the

speaker

will

make

it

less

stable

and

is

not

recom-

mended.

Be

sure

to

place

your

speakers

on

a

fl

at

surface.

Place

the

left

(Part

1)

and

right

(Part

2)

speakers

on

the

left

and

right

sides

of

your

room,

as

you

face

them.

Exactly

where

you

put

them

depends

on

the

size

and

style

of

your

room

and

where

you

think

they

sound

best.

Feel

free

to

experiment

to

find

a

location

that

is

both

convenient

and

provides

the

sound

you

prefer.

Here

are

some

basic

guidelines.

Place

the

speakers:

•

approximately

5

feet

(1.5

m)

apart.

You

can

achieve

excellent

results

with

a

separation

of

as

much

as

15

feet

(5

m).

•

from

2

to

5

feet

(.6

-

1.5

m)

from

each

side

wall.

•

at

least

24

inches

(.6

m)

from

any

TV

screens

or

monitors.

•

at

least

2

inches

(5

cm)

from

the

wall

behind

them.

Note:

Because

the

grilles

on

the

front

of

each

speaker

protect

the

drivers

inside,

we

recommend

that

you

do

not

remove

the

grilles.
