Surround cube speakers
Left and right rear channel sound should reach the viewer from both sides, rather than from
directly behind (Figure 5).
• Put one on the left and the other on the right, beside or just to the rear of the home theater
seating area.
• Position them so they do not create a direct sound path to the listener's ears (position 1).
• Generally aim them away from the viewers, toward the rear or side walls (position 2 or 3).
• If you want these speakers directly behind the seating area, make sure they are not
directed at the viewers.
• The rear speaker to your left as you face the TV connects to the left surround (LS) jack on
®
the Acoustimass module.

Acoustimass ® module

Bose recommends putting your Acoustimass module at the same end of the room as the
television. To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the television.
• You may hide the Acoustimass module behind or under furniture, but do not block the
opening. Be sure there is at least 2 inches (5 cm) between the opening and any surface.
• Placing the module close to a corner increases the bass output. Moving it toward the
center of the wall reduces the output.
• If the opening faces the wall, it further increases the bass. If it faces away, it decreases the
bass. For the most bass response, place the opening 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) from a wall
or corner.
• Stand the module vertically or horizontally (Figure 6). Attach the large set of rubber feet to
the bottom surface. If you plan to stand the module on the cable connection end,
do not use the module end cover, but be sure to attach the large rubber feet to protect
the connections.
