Use the following guidelines to choose locations and positions for the speakers and the
®
Acoustimass module (Figure 2). While these guidelines are offered to provide outstanding
system performance, you may find other placement options that are more convenient and
provide the sound you enjoy.
6 inches (15 cm)
Positioning the Acoustimass
The Acoustimass module is designed to be the unseen part of this system. It can be placed
under or behind furniture, for example, and contribute to the lifelike sound you hear from the
speakers without being visible.
Place the module on a flat surface:
• within reach of an AC (mains) power outlet and
• place the module a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) from the computer monitor (or TV) to pre-
vent interference from the module, which is not magnetically shielded.
• Once you have selected a position for the module, place the four self-adhesive rubber feet
near the corners of the bottom surface. The rubber feet provide increased stability and pro-
tection from scratches.
CAUTION: Do not place computer monitors, floppy disks, hard drives, or other magnetic
media within 6 inches (15 cm) of the Acoustimass module. The magnetic field produced by this
module can erase magnetic media and interfere with the monitor.
• Stand the Acoustimass module on its feet. Do not lay it on its side or stand it on either end
(Figure 3).
