Setting Up
Select the locations for your speakers
The cables provided with your Acoustimass ® -10 system vary in length and provide a great
deal of flexibility in speaker placement.
Left and right front cube speakers
Use the two cube speakers with black terminals. Figure 3 shows suggested ways to
achieve an accurate left and right sound image.
• Place the front speakers on either side of your TV, at least 6 feet (2 m), or as much as 15
feet (5 m) apart.
• Place them in line with the center of the screen for the best sound balance (position 1).
Or, place them in a lateral position, with one high and the other low (position 2). Placing
them in a line above the top of the TV is a third choice (position 3).
• The speaker on the left as you face the TV is connected to the LEFT FRONT jack on the
Acoustimass module.
CAUTION: If you are placing
the center speaker 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
® customer service
numbers inside the back
cover of this manual. Ask for
Part Number 178321-04.

Center cube speaker
Select one speaker with a gray terminal for the front center speaker. Sound from the center
speaker should seem to come from within the picture.
Figure 4 shows suggested positions for the center speaker.
• Place the center cube speaker above, below, or on top of your television. If below, be
sure that the cube speaker is not supporting the weight of the television in any way.
• Keep it as close to the vertical center of the screen as possible, for the most accurate
dialogue reproduction (positions 1 or 2).
