Bose Acoustimass 15 Owner's guide - Page 7

Setting Up Placing your speakers to achieve realistic home theater sound A suggested home theater layout that conforms to the guidelines described above is shown in Figure 2. You may want to place the speakers differently, to take advantage of the sound characteristics of different rooms. Note: The cube arrays are identical and can be used for any channel. All of the cube arrays are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with a television picture. Twist the cube arrays so the speakers create room-filling sound patterns. Note: Bose wall brackets and floor stands can extend your placement options. See "Accessories" on page 13. Please follow wall bracket instructions carefully. Proper mounting will insure optimum performance from your system. Figure 2 One suggested home theater layout Center cube speaker The center speaker localizes action and dialogue on your screen. Sound should seem to come from within the picture. • Place the center cube array above, below, or on top of your television. If below, be sure that it is not supporting the weight of the television in any way. • Keep the cube array as close to the vertical center of the screen as possible, for the most accurate dialogue reproduction. CAUTION: If you are placing the center cube array on top of the television, use the smaller of the two sets of four rubber feet provided. This will provide extra stability on surfaces such as marble or glass. Additional rubber feet are available, free, by calling the Bose® customer service numbers inside the back cover of this manual.
