Setting Up
Before you begin
Your 401* Direct/Reilecting* speakers re-create a natural balance of reflected and direct
sound energy for an open, spacious performance. They are designed at Bose’* to bring you
high-quality listening pleasure.
The Stereo Space* array inside each speaker creates a pattern of direct/reflected sound
similar to what you experience at a live concert. These distinct left and right speakers also
feature tuned port enclosures that contribute to their deep, room-filling bass. An advanced
crossover design adds to the realism and clear definition of both musical instruments and
voices.
Your 401 speakers are significantly different from conventional speakers, so be sure to read
this owner’s guide. It will help you set up and use your speakers properly, for the greatest
enjoyment.
WARNING:
To avoid danger of suffocatioi^^
keep the plastic bags that
wrap these speakers out
of the reach of children.

If either speaker appears damaged, do not use them. Instead, repack both speakers in the
original carton and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately.
