of

the

Acoustimasflass

module.

The

unique

Acoustimass

speaker

technology

of

your

powered

Acoustimass-5

Series

II

speakers

allows

the

Acoustimass

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.

Some

possible

locations

for

the

Acoustimass

bass

module.

Generally,

you

should

locate

the

bass

module

at

the

same

end

of

the

room

as

the

cube

arrays.

However,

because

the

bass

produced.,

by

the

Acoustimass

bass

module

is

nondirectional,

this

is

not

mandatory.

If

you

do

place

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

the

conventional

floorstanding

or

bookshelf

speakers,

you

can

fine-tune

the

tone

of

the

bass

from

your

powered

Acoustimass-5

speakers,

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

recorr

mend

that

you

place

the

module

along

a

wa

to

5

feet

(approximately

1

to

1.5

meters)

fro

,

corner.

This

provides

a

normal

balance

of

frequencies

from

your

powered

Acoustimass-

5

speakers.

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

level

of

bass.
