CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the
speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished
wood. For additional stability, you can add rubber feet to your speakers. You may obtain
rubber feet (PN 178321-04) free of charge from Bose. Contact Bose customer service for
more information.
Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle ® powered speaker system
Follow these guidelines to select locations for your Lifestyle ® speakers:
Place the left and right speakers in their respective locations in your room. You can put these
compact speakers in just about any room and location, such as a bookcase, desk, or in your
kitchen. Be sure to place them close to an AC power (mains) outlet. To avoid interference
with your TV picture, allow at least 9 inches (23 cm) of clearance between the speakers and
the TV screen. Optional Bose ceiling and wall-mount brackets offer even greater placement
flexibility. See page 15 for details.
Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front
edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the
sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.
