Acoustimass module
®
Follow these guidelines to select a location for the Acoustimass module.
Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, place the Acoustimass module at least
18 inches (45 cm) from a TV.
1. Place the module along the same the wall as the speakers, if possible (Figure 2).
2. Select a convenient location – under a table, behind a sofa. Do not allow furniture or
drapes to block the ventilation openings of the module.
3. Place the module within reach of the audio input cable, speaker cables, and an AC power
(mains) outlet.
4. Select a position for the Acoustimass module (Figure 3). For proper ventilation, place it on
the long edge, with the connectors facing the floor. An alternate position is on its largest
side, with the bass and treble controls facing up. Do not place the module on either end,
as shown by the last two views in Figure 3.

5. 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
protection from scratches.
6. Aim the port (the round opening) into the room or along the wall to avoid blocking the port
or creating too much bass.
7. For best bass performance, do not place the port at equal distances from any two walls or
from a wall and the ceiling.
CAUTION: Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Acoustimass module. The slots on
the end provide ventilation for the built-in electronic circuitry, and should not be blocked.
Music center
Select a location for the music center.
1. Allow enough room to open the CD player cover.
2. Place the music center close enough to any additional sound sources (TV, VCR, etc.) to
allow for cable length. If you need additional audio and/or video cables to connect all of
your components, see your dealer or call Bose
3. Place the music center within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the Acoustimass module (the length of the
audio input cable).
Note: Since some TVs can interfere with the proper operation of a CD player or tuner, you
may want to avoid placing the music center directly on top of your TV.
