Bose Acoustimass 7 Owner's guide - Page 4

Setting Up Where to put your Acoustimasss-7 speakers Bose' designed your Acoustimass-7 home theater speakers to provide high performance • and flexibility. The identical cube speaker arrays are magnetically shielded, allowing you to place them near a video screen without causing interference. The bass module, which is unshielded, should be placed further from your screen, but at the same end of the room as the cubes. With those guidelines in mind, you can actually hide the module in your room, since pure bass tones are multi-directional. Without audible distortion to give away the location of the bass module, all the sound will seem to come from the cube speakers alone. Note: Before mounting speakers to a wall or ceiling, be sure to read all the guidelines. Cube speakers The cube speaker arrays reproduce the left, right, and center channel sound, which is directed to them by an AN receiver (or amplifier) with surround decoding circuitry. For instance, the center channel speaker reproduces much of the movie dialogue. For accurate video sound: • Place the left and right front speakers at least 6 feet (1.8 m) apart. You may prefer them up to 15 feet (4 m) apart. • Place the center channel speaker directly on top of or below your television (Figure 2). For other placement options, see the Bose "Optional accessories" on page 11. For more information, contact your authorized Bose dealer or call Bose directly (listed on the inside back page). Note: Be sure to place the cube speaker arrays only on surfaces that are stable and level. • For some surfaces, such as marble or glass, you may want to use rubber feet for additional stability. Bose provides these rubber feet free of cost. To request them, contact Bose or your local Bose service agency and ask for Part Number 178321.

You can stand the module vertically or horizontally (see Figure 3), allowing you to hide it behind or under furniture. Place the open end toward, • along, or away from a wall, making sure not to block the opening. 4
