Setting

Up

Cube

speakers

The

cube

speakers

reproduce

the

left,

right,

and

center

channel

sound

directed

to

them

by

an

AN

receiver

with

surround

decoding

circuitry.

This

decoding

sends

much

of

the

movie

dialogue

to

the

center

channel

speaker,

for

example.

For

accurate

video

sound:

•

Place

the

center

channel

speaker

directly

above

or

below

your

television

(Figure

2).

•

Place

the

left

and

right

front

speakers

at

least

6

feet

(1.8

m)

apart.

You

may

prefer

them

up

to

15

feet

(4.6

m)

apart.

•

If

you

mount

the

left

and

right

speakers

on

the

ceiling,

remove

the

front

grilles

and

turn

them

so

the

logo

appears

right

side

up.

•

Where

each

speaker

is

placed

determines

whether

it

connects

to

the

RIGHT,

CENTER,

or

LEFT

outputs

on

the

bass

module.

Note:

If

you

do

not

use

brackets

to

mount

them,

be

sure

to

place

cube

speakers

only

on

surfaces

that

are

stable

and

level.

For

some

surfaces,

such

as

marble

or

glass,

we

recom-

mend

that

you

use

rubber

feet

to

prevent

speaker

movement

due

to

vibrations.

Bose

will

provide

these

rubber

feet

free

of

cost.

To

request

them,

contact

Bose

(see

the

inside

back

page)

or

your

local

Bose

service

agency

and

ask

for

Part

Number

178321.

Bass

module

For

a

good

balance

of

sound,

Bose

recommends

putting

your

bass

module

and

cube

speakers

at

the

same

end

of

the

room.

You

can

stand

the

module

vertically

or

horizontally

(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.

For

the

sound

you

prefer:

•

Place

the

module

along

a

wall

near

the

corner,

with

the

openings

toward

the

wall

to

increase

the

bass

or

away

from

the

wall

to

decrease

the

bass.

•

To

get

the

most

bass

output,

place

the

opening

end

2

to

3

inches

(5

to

7.6

cm)

from

a

wall.

(Leave

at

least

2

inches

between

the

bass

module

openings

and

any

surface.)

•

To

reduce

the

bass,

move

the

module

away

from

the

corner,

more

toward

the

center

of

the

wall.

•

To

prevent

interference,

keep

the

module

at

least

2

feet

(.6

m)

from

any

N.

When

you

have

decided

how

you

will

position

the

module,

attach

the

supplied

rubber

feet

to

the

bottom

surface.

They

provide

additional

stability

and

protection.

CAUTION:

Before

mounting

speakers

to

a

wall

or

ceiling,

be

sure

to

read

all

of

these

guidelines

and

use

only

the

supplied

brackets.

Refer

to

the

bracket

instructions

in

the

Appendix.

Do

not

connect

the

speakers

before

looking

over

those

instructions.

module

CAUTION:

Be

sure

to

attach

rubber

feet

to

the

bottom

surface.

If

the

terminal

side

of

your

bass

,

module

faces

down,

the

'

rubber

feet

will

minimize

pressure

on

the

wires,

floor

scratches,

and

speaker

movement.
