6. Room Acoustics -As with any speaker system, the
acoustics (sound properties) ol your listening room can
ailect the overall sound quality ol your SE-5 system. The
following tips will give you some control over the ^s-
tern’s sound:
1. Rooms with a lot ol sound-absorbing furnishings,
such as stuffed furniture, wall-to-wall carpet, or heav
7
drapes, may reduce the treble sound (high frequen­
cies) ol your SE-5 system. The missing treble sound
can be restored by slightly turning up the treble con­
trol on your amplifier or receiver. If convenient, you
may instead remove some ol the sound-absorbing
furni^ings.
2. Rooms with too few sound-absorbing furnishings,
especially those with bare floors and walls, may
sound overly shrili or ‘bright' because ol too much
treble. Turning down the treble control or adding
sound absorbers such as throw carpets or drapes will
usually solve this problem.
3. It your system seems to have too much or too little
bass (low frequencies), you can adjust it using the
bass control on your amplifier or receiver. As
described previously, you may also move (he Acousli-
mass^ module closer to a wall and/or corner to
increase bass, or closer to the center of the room to
decrease it.
In general, many problems wilh acoustrcs can be
solved by the judicious use of your lone controls.
Remember, though, that the use of these controls
(especially when turned all the way up) may pul
greater povrer demands on your receiver or amplifier.
Excessive tone control use can cause an
amplifier or receiver to run out of power and
distort, potentially damaging your system.
5. External signal processors($uch as graphic and
parametric equalizers), while not recommended, can
be used with your SE-5 system if a greater degree of
acoustic control is desired. Consult your Bose^’dealer
for advice.
C. Maintenance The cabinets of your SE-6 system can
be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and. if necessary, a
mild detergent such as dish soap. Do not allCAv liquids to
spill through the grille assemblies of the Stereo Targeting'-
arrays, or in any v/ay attempt to enter the Acoustimass^^^
module.
Do not attempt to clean your SE-5 system with any sol­
vents or chemicals.
The grille assemblies on Ihe Siereo Targeting-’ arrays
may be carelulty vacuu med if necessary. Please note that
the drivers are located directly behind the grille ctoih. and
are easily damaged if reasonable care is not taken. Avoid
applying any pressure with the vacuum nozzle.
