Bose Acoustimass 6 Series III Owner's guide - Page 7

Figure 4 Powered Acoustimass module placement Setting Up Front left and right cube speakers The front left and right speaker arrays create a sound image wider than the screen that seems natural to viewers sitting anywhere in the room. You can place the speaker arrays near a TV screen with no picture interference. 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 (see Figure 2). Rear cube speakers The rear, or surround, cube speakers add discrete sounds and special effects that expand the visual image, bringing the viewer into the center of the action. The rear cube speakers may carry dialogue as well. • Position the left and right rear cube speakers to allow the sound to reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind (see Figure 3). • Place the rear cube speakers at ear height or higher, if possible. • For the Acoustimass® 10 system, rotate the top and bottom sections of the rear cube speaker arrays to direct the sound to the front and back of the listener (see Figure 3). • For the Acoustimass 6 system, aim the rear cube speakers slightly behind the listener or reflect the sound off the rear wall (see Figure 3). 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 furniture, but do not block the opening. Be sure there are 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. CAUTION: To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (.6 m) from your TV set. Note: Placing the module horizontally, or on its side, may reduce ventilation, inhibiting its ability to play at full output for extended periods of time. 7 264887_00 _V.pdf • August 13, 2002
