Placing
your
Acoustimass@ 6
speakers
to
achieve
realistic
home
theater
sound
The center speaker localizes action and dialogue on your screen Sound from the center
speaker should seem
to
come from within the picture
The left and right front speakers create a sound image wider than the screen that seems
natural
to
viewers sitting anywhere
in
the room
The surround speakers add subtle sounds and special effects that expand the visual image,
bringing the viewer into the center
of
the action The surround speakers should be positioned
to
allow the sound
to
reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from directly behind
You
can place the front and center speakers near a
TV
screen with no picture interference,
because all
of
the cube speakers are magnetically shielded
The Acoustimass module is not magnetically shielded and should be at least 2 feet
(60
cm)
from your screen, but at the same end
of
the room as the front and center speakers
Bose®
Acoustimass speaker technology takes advantage
of
the fact that the source
of
bass sound
is difficult
to
locate, so you can hide the Acoustimass module conveniently out of sight
Placing it near a corner increases bass output trom the module
A suggested home theater layout that conforms to the guidelines described above
is
shown
in
Figure 2
You
may choose
to
place the speakers differently, to take advantage
of
the sound character-
istics
of
different rooms For instance, where walls are absent or the room is large, you may
prefer not to angle the left and right speakers as shown
You
can experiment
to
find the best
position
Your speakers come with sufficient cable lengths to allow you
to
have the following distances
between components
• Up
to
20 feet
(6
m)
between the Acoustimass module and the receiver
• Up
to
20 feet
(6
m)
between the Acoustimass module and the front and center cube
speakers
• Up to 50 feet
(15
m)
between the Acoustimass module and the surround speakers
