Bose Acoustimass 15 Owner's guide - Page 8

Setting Up Left and right front cube speakers The left and right front speakers create a sound image wider than the screen that seems natural to viewers sitting anywhere in the room. You can place them near a TV screen with no picture interference. See figure 2. • Place the front cube arrays on either side of your TV, at least 6 feet (2 m), or as much as 15 feet (5 m) apart. Surround cube speakers The surround, or rear, speakers add discrete sounds and special effects that expand the visual image, bringing the viewer into the center of the action. The surround speakers may carry dialog as well. The surround speakers should be positioned to allow the sound to reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind. See Figure 2. • Place the speakers at ear height or higher, if possible • Adjust the rear surround speakers to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener. Powered Acoustimass® module Bose® Acoustimass speaker technology takes advantage of the fact that the source of pure bass sound is difficult to locate, so you can hide the Powered Acoustimass module conveniently out of sight. Place the module at the same end of the room as the television monitor. • You may hide the module behind or under furniture, but do not block the opening. Be sure there is at least 2 inches (5 cm) between the opening and any surface. • If the opening faces the wall it increases the bass; if it faces away it decreases the bass. For the most bass response, place the opening 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) from a wall or corner. • You may stand the Powered Acoustimass module vertically or horizontally (Figure 3). • After selecting a place for the module, attach the larger set of four rubber feet to the bottom surface for additional stability. CAUTION: To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (.6 m) from the television. Figure 3 Powered Acoustimass module positions 6 October 22, 2001 AM194452_06_V.pdf
