  • Page 5 Save the rubber feet for future use. The M25, MCenter, and MSurround come with rubber stand-offs that are designed to be attached to the bottom of the loudspeaker when stand, shelf or cabinet mounting. This will minimize the vibration transferred from the loudspeaker to the stand, shelf or cabinet.
  • Page 6 For optimal results, it is advisable to start with the front left and right speakers positioned 6-12 feet (2-4m) apart from each other, at least 3 inches (76mm) away from the wall or curtains behind them, and at least 2 feet (0.6m) away from the corners of the room. Putting the front left and right speakers too close to a wall or corner can produce an unnatural bass reinforcement and side wall reflections that can detract from the speakers balanced, uncolored sound.
  • Page 7 If you are using spade lugs, attach them to the wires as specified by the manufacturer. Loosen the top cap by turning it counter-clockwise until there is enough clearance for the spade lug to be positioned around the terminal post. Place the spade lug around the post and turn the top cap clockwise by hand to clamp it in place.
  • Page 8 Multi-channel home theater electronics dedicate one channel (the “.1”) to reproduce the low-frequency effects (LFE) (such as explosions and thunder) contained in digitally-encoded soundtracks. Hooked up this way, the receiver’s amplifier is relieved of having to reproduce the difficult low bass signals that can drive the receiver into audible distortion.
  • Page 9 When using the inputs (not the input) the subwoofer’s built-in crossover is engaged. As a starting point, set the crossover control on the subwoofer about 10Hz higher than the lower limit of your main speakers’ bass response. Fine-tune the crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with your main speakers. The best setting of the crossover control will depend on speaker placement and personal preference.
  • Page 10 If the speaker works fine in the new position it is a strong indication of an issue with the wiring or electronics in the system. In the event that your speakers ever need service, contact your Boston Acoustics dealer or visit...
