Speaker Placement
Figure 2
Ideal placement in an average-sized
room.
CAUTION:
Bose ® 701 ® speakers are not
intended to hang from walls, or
to stand on shelves or tables.
They are designed as
floorstanding speakers only.
To prevent injury to children and
pets, and to protect your
speaker investment, do not
place your 701 speakers in high
traffic areas where they can be
accidentally knocked over.
Where to stand the speakers
The product label on the bottom of each speaker indicates “Left” or “Right” (Figure 1). For
best acoustic performance, stand the left speaker on the left side of your room. Stand the
right speaker on the right side.
Place the speakers 6 to 20 feet (1.8 - 6 m) apart and at least 2 feet (.6 m) from side walls
(Figure 2). Make sure each speaker is at least 2 feet (.6 m) from your TV screen, to prevent
video interference.
For more bass response, move your speakers closer to the walls of your room. To reduce
bass response, move them farther from the walls. This will soften heavy or booming bass.
Attention: Be sure to place each speaker at least 2" (5cm) from the wall behind it. For the
best performance, it is important not to block the acoustic port at the rear of each
speaker.
