Bose

301 speakers are designed to fit horizontally on a table or shelf (Figure 2). Be sure to
choose a stable and level surface for each speaker.
Place the left and right speakers (marked on the back of each one) on the left and right sides
of your room, as you face them. Exactly where you put them depends on the size and style
of your room and where you think they sound best. Feel free to experiment to find a location
that is both convenient and provides the sound you prefer.
Note: Because the grilles on the front of each speaker protect the drivers inside, we recommend
that you do not remove the grilles.
Here are some basic guidelines:
• Place the speakers 4 to 12 feet (1 to 4 m) apart.
• Choose a stable and level surface for each speaker, and attach the rubber feet.
• Leave at least 12 inches (30 cm) of space from the end of a speaker to the side wall.
• Leave at least 18 inches (45 cm) from the speakers to the oor or ceiling.
• Leave at least 24 inches (60 cm) from the speakers to any TV screens or monitors.
• Keep the back of the speakers within 18 inches (45 cm) of the wall behind them.
• Do not place the speakers exactly halfway between the oor and ceiling or any other
sound-reflecting hard surface.
• Do not put the speakers in a vertical position.
Note: Bose speaker stands or wall brackets can extend your placement options. See “Optional
accessories” on page 10.
Setting Up
CAUTION:
301 speakers are designed
specifically for placement on a
stationary shelf, table, or stand.
On smooth surfaces like marble,
glass or highly polished wood,
vibrations may cause the speak-
ers to slide.
So be sure to attach the self-
adhesive rubber feet to the
bottom surface of each speaker
for added stability and protection.
The feet go in the corners of the
flat surface, inside the seam.
Do not use these speakers in
a moving vehicle.
To mount the speakers on a wall,
use only the Bose WB-3 wall
mounting bracket. Please follow
the mounting instructions that
come with these brackets. Im-
properly mounted speakers may
fall, causing injury and damage.
To contact Bose, please refer
to the subsidiary offices listed
on the inside back cover of this
owner’s guide.
