A suggested home theater layout that conforms to the guidelines described above is shown
in Figure 2. You may want to place the speakers differently, to take advantage of the sound
characteristics of different rooms.
Note: The cube arrays are identical and can be used for any channel. All of the cube arrays
are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with a television picture. Twist the cube
arrays so the speakers create room-filling sound patterns.
Note: Bose wall brackets and floor stands can extend your placement options. See "Acces-
sories" on page 13. Please follow wall bracket instructions carefully. Proper mounting will
insure optimum performance from your system.

Center cube speaker

The center speaker localizes action and dialogue on your screen. Sound should seem to
come from within the picture.
• Place the center cube array above, below, or on top of your television. If below, be sure
that it is not supporting the weight of the television in any way.
• Keep the cube array as close to the vertical center of the screen as possible, for the most
accurate dialogue reproduction.
CAUTION: If you are placing the center cube array on top of the television, use the smaller
of the two sets of four rubber feet provided. This will provide extra stability on surfaces such
as marble or glass. Additional rubber feet are available, free, by calling the Bose
service numbers inside the back cover of this manual. Ask for Part Number 178321-04.
