System Setup
• Aim the port of the module away from the wall to decrease bass or toward the wall to
increase bass; in either case, be sure it is at least 3 inches (8 cm) from the wall.
• Place the module away from heat sources (radiators, baseboard, quartz heater, etc.).
Adequate ventilation is necessary to prevent the module from overheating during use. Do
not block the openings on the back of the module, which provide ventilation for the built-in
circuitry.
• Using the supplied audio input cable, you can place the module up to 6 feet (2 m) away
from the multimedia sound source. If you put the module farther away, use an audio input
extension cable available from any retail electronics store.
Positioning the satellite speakers
These speakers are designed to sit upright on your desk, or be mounted on your monitor with
the supplied speaker brackets. The speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent
interference when they are on or near your monitor. Using the supplied speaker cables, you
can place the satellite speakers up to 6 feet (2 m) away from the module.
If placing your speakers on the desktop:
• Attach the three small rubber feet to each satellite speaker as indicated by the indentations
on the bottom of each speaker.
• Place speakers facing you, at an equal distance on either side of monitor.
• Place both speakers a maximum of 3 feet (90 cm) from the edge of the screen, and at
approximately the same height.
CAUTION: Choose a stable, level surface for the speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers
to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. If
needed, you may obtain additional rubber feet from Bose
