Location/Position of the Acoustimass" bass module. The unique Acoustimass speaker technology of your Acoustimass powered speaker system allows the Aooustimass module to produce room-filling bass from virtually anywhere in your listening room. Feel free to hide the bass module in a corner, under a table, or even behind a sofa (Figure 9), in either a horizontal or vertical position. Just be sure to allow at least 2 inches (approximately 5 cm) of open space between the two round openings in the end of the module and the wall or other surface. Also, do not block the built-in amplifier mounted on the rear of the bass module. The amplifier generates some heat (not dangerous to the touch) and needs open air to keep the heat from building up.

However, because the bass produ011 by the Acoustimass bass module is nondi tional, this is not mandatory. If you do pla the bass module at the opposite end of the room from the cube arrays, try to place it further away from the listener than the cube arrays. Unlike conventional floorstanding or bookshell speakers, you can fine-tune the tone of the bass from your Acoustimass powered speaker system, without compromising accurate stereo imaging. just by changing the location of the Acoustimass bass module within your listening room. The most bass is generally produced with the bass module located in the corner of a room. Generally. we recommend that you place the module along a wall. 3 to 5 feet (approximately 1 to 1.5 meters) from a corner. This provides a normal balance ci frequencies from your Acoustimass powered speaker system, To increase the amount of bass, move the module closer to the walls and/or corners of your room. For less bass. move the module toward the center of your room. It should be reasonably easy to find a location that is both • convenient and provides a pleasing lad of bass. • 1I
