Setting Up; Before You Begin; Unpack The Carton - Bose Direct/Reflecting 401 Owner's Manual

Setting Up
Before you begin
Your 401* Direct/Reflecting' speakers re-create a natural balance of reflected and direct
sound energy for an open, spacious performance. They are designed at Bose" to bring you
high-quality listening pleasure.
The Stereo Space' array inside each speaker creates a pattern of direct/reflected sound
similar to what you experience at a live concert. These distinct left and right speakers also
feature tuned port enclosures that contribute to their deep, room-filling bass. An advanced
crossover design adds to the realism and clear definition of both musical instruments and
voices.
WARNING:
keep the plastic bags that
wrap these speakers out
of the reach of children.
Your 401 speakers are significantly different from conventional speakers, so be sure to read
this owner's guide. It will help you set up and use your speakers properly, for the greatest
enjoyment.
Unpack the carton
Carefully unpack the carton and save all packing materials for possible future use. Check
the carton contents (Figure 1). The carton contains two 401 speakers labeled Part 1 (left)
and Part 2 (right).
If either speaker appears damaged, do not use them. Instead, repack both speakers in the
original carton and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately.
Note: Now is a good lime to record the speaker serial numbers on page 2 of this guide
and on your warranty card.
Warning: Each speaker weighs approximately 30 pounds (13 kg). Use good lifting
practice to avoid injury.
