2 . Selecting the locations for your Acoustimass ® system components 1 . You can place the Acoustimass module almost anywhere in your listening room , in either a vertical or horizontal position ( Figure 2 ) . It can be hidden under a bed or table or even behind a sofa , as long as you remember notto block the round opening in the end of the unit . Allow at least 2 inches ( 5 cm ) of space between that end and any surface . After selecting a place for the Acoustimass module , attach the four rubber feet to the bottom surface for additional stability . If you choose to stand the module on its connection end , the feet must be attached to protect the wire connections . , _ CAUTION : The Acoustimass module is not magnetically shielded and should be kept at least two feet ( . 6 m ) from a television . Figure 2 Acoustimass module positions 2 . Next , select the positions for the left and right cube arrays . Remember that wires from the arrays connect to the Acoustimass module , so you should locate the cube arrays close enough to the module to enable the wires to reach it . The cube arrays are magnetically shielded , so they may be placed near a television . Note : Bose wall brackets and floor stands can increase your placement options . See page 12 for details and ordering information . Note : While the wires provided are adequate for most installations , you may increase the distance between the cube arrays and the Acoustimass module by splicing in additional wire . If you do so , use similar gauge or thicker wire , and make sure you maintain the correct phase ( + to ÷ and - to - ) , and properly connect the wires . 3 . Examining the cables and connections Locate the four identical pairs of wires packed with the system . • Two wire pairs connect your cube arrays to the Acoustimass module . • The other two wire pairs connect the Acoustimass module to your receiver or amplifier . • Examine the ends of the wires . The marked wire ( with a red , striped , or printed marker ) connects to the positive ( + ) terminal at each connection . • The cube arrays and the Acoustimass module have red positive ( + ) connections .

Checking your speaker system As you begin listening to your Acoustimass 5 Series III speaker system , the following test will help you determine that it is working properly : A . Turn the balance control on your receiver or amplifier all the way to the left . If you have connected the cube arrays properly , you will hear the music from the left cube array , but not the right one . You may notice a very faint sound issuing from the right cube array , which is normal . B . Now , turn the balance control all the way to the right . If your cube arrays are connected properly , this time you will hear music only from the right one . You may also detect a very faint sound from the other cube array . C . Return the balance control to the center position . Play a musical selection with deep bass . Now turn the balance control all the way to the left and listen , and then turn the balance all the way to the right and listen . If the system is connected properly , the center position should exhibit the same or greater bass response than either the left - only or right - only positions . If it exhibits less , check to make sure that your components are connected as described on pages 6 and 7 . D . Return the balance control to the center position . If your system does not appear to be working properly , refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 11 . Positioning your speaker system to get the best sound Your Acoustimass 5 Series III speaker system may be used in a variety of ways . Here are some guidelines . Cube considerations A . In average - sized listening rooms , the best stereo effects result when the left and right cube arrays are spaced 6 to 12 feet apart ( 1.8 - 3.6 m ) . However , you can still achieve excellent results with separation as little as 3 feet ( 1 m ) or as great as 15 feet ( 4.5 m ) . B . The cube arrays are magnetically shielded for use with video systems and may be placed near your television without adversely affecting picture quality . However , the Acoustimass module is not shielded and should be kept at least 2 feet ( . 6 m ) from a television . C . Though there is no " correct " position for the cube arrays or the angle between them , the most lifelike effect will be achieved by providing a balance of direct and reflected sound . Experiment with the positions of the cubes for the results you prefer . Figure 6 shows some typical cube arrangements . D . You may use the cube arrays with both cubes facing forward . This eliminates the benefits of direct and reflected sound , but may be appropriate for very small listening areas . 8 October23 , 2001 AM19645105V . pdf

Figure 6 Cube array positions Acoustimass module considerations Unlike conventional floor standing or bookshelf speakers , you can fine tune the bass re - sponse of your Acoustimass 5 Series III speaker system without compromising an accurate stereo image . Just change the location of the Acoustimass module within your listening room . Placing it along a wall 3 to 5 feet ( 1 - 1.5 m ) from a corner provides a normal balance of frequencies from your speaker system . Moving the Acoustimass module closer to walls or corners increases bass response while moving it away from walls or corners decreases bass . In most rooms , it is easy to find a convenient location that provides pleasing bass response . CAUTION : The Acoustimass module is not shielded and should not be placed within 2 feet ( . 6 m ) of a television . AM1964 51 _ O5 _ V . pdf October23 , 2001 9

Using your speaker system to its best advantage Your speaker system requires very little attention when set up and connected properly . However , observing the following guidelines will help maximize your enjoyment . Room Acoustics The acoustics ( sound properties ) of your listening room can affect the overall sound quality of any speaker system . The following tips will give you some control over the sound : A . Rooms with a lot of sound - absorbing furnishings , such as stuffed furniture , wall - to - wall carpet , or heavy drapes , may reduce the treble sound ( high frequencies ) . The missing treble sound can be restored by slightly turning up the treble control on your receiver or amplifier . If convenient , you may remove some of the sound - absorbing material . B . Rooms with too few sound absorbing furnishings , especially those with bare floors and walls , may sound overly shrill or " bright " because of too much treble . Turning down the treble control or adding sound absorbers such as throw carpets or drapes will usually improve the sound . C . If your system seems to have too much or too little bass ( low frequencies ) , you can adjust the bass control on your receiver or amplifier . You may also move the Acoustimass module closer to a wall and / or corner to increase bass . Doing the opposite will decrease bass . D . In general , many problems with acoustics can be solved by the judicious use of your tone controls . Remember , though , that the use of these controls ( especially when turned all the way up ) may put greater power demands on your receiver or amplifier . Excessive tone adjustment can cause an amplifier or receiver to run out of power and distort , potentially damaging your system . E . External signal processors ( such as graphic and parametric equalizers ) , while not recom - mended , can be used with your Acoustimass 5 Series III speaker system if a greater degree of acoustic control is desired . Consult your Bose " ° dealer for advice . Automatic System Protection Note : The Acoustimass 5 Series III speaker system incorporates an automatic protection circuit , which guards against most kinds of damage from electrical stress or overload . This circuit activates at high volume levels to reduce output , causing a slight decrease in volume . This is normal operation and indicates that power input may be exceedng safe levels . Sustained listening at these levels is not recommended . Receiver / amplifier considerations Note : Your speakers incorporate heavy - duty driver elements designed to resist many types of electrical stress . However , any speaker can be damaged if the amplifier driving it fails . Increasing the volume until the music sounds distorted also causes speaker damage . This can happen even with a low - powered receiver or amplifier . Your speaker system is designed for use with receivers or amplifiers rated from 10 to 200 watts per channel with 4 to 8 ohm impedance . For further information , refer to your receiver or amplifier owner's guide . 10 October23 , 2001 AM19645105 V . pdf
