Before you begin

Your 201

or 301

Series V Direct/Reﬂecting

speakers recreate a natural balance of reﬂected

and direct sound energy for an open, spacious performance. They are designed by Bose

bring you high-quality listening pleasure.

These 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 enjoy-

ment.

Unpack the carton

Carefully unpack the carton and save all packing materials for possible future use. Check the

carton contents (Figure 1).

If either speaker appears damaged, do not use them. Instead, repack both speakers in the

original carton and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately.

Note:

Now is a good time to record the speaker serial numbers below and on your warranty

card.

CAUTION:

To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags that wrap these speakers

out of the reach of children.

or 301

speakers

Bose

201 and 301 speakers are designed to ﬁt horizontally on a stable and level table or

shelf (Figure 2).

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 recom-

mend that you do not remove them.

CAUTION:

201 and 301 speakers are designed speciﬁcally for placement on a stationary

shelf, table, or stand. On smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly polished wood, vibra-

tions may cause the speakers 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 cor-

ners of the ﬂat surface, 1” back from the center of the curved front panel. 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.

Improperly mounted speakers may fall, causing injury and damage.

Here are some basic guidelines below:

• 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.

Figure 2

Placement guidelines

CAUTION:

For the most realistic sound image, make sure the left speaker is placed on the

left and the right speaker is on the right side of your room, as you face them.

Setting Up

English

Choose the cord

It is important to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord.

Wire recommendations

Based on a maximum frequency response deviation of ± 0.5 dB

Note:

Before running the speaker cord through a wall or under a ﬂoor, check your local build-

ing code requirements and safety regulations. If necessary, contact an electrical installer for

this information.

Prepare the cord

Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked

(striped, collared, or ribbed).

At the ends of each cord, strip approximately

⁄

inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires.

Twist the bare end of each wire so loose strands will not touch across terminals. Be sure to

connect each wire to the proper terminal (positive to positive and negative to negative).

Note:

It is sometimes difﬁcult to distinguish wire markings. Inspect both wires carefully.

Make the connections

Just press the terminal tab on the back of each speaker to insert the appropriate wire (Figure 3).

CAUTION:

Before making any connections, turn off your receiver and unplug it from the AC

power (mains) outlet. Not doing so may result in damage to your system.

CAUTION:

Never use broken or frayed wiring, which can result in electrical shock or dam-

age.

1. Connect one speaker cord to your right speaker.

• Attach each marked wire (+) to the appropriate (+) terminal.

• Attach each plain wire (–) to the appropriate (–) terminal.

2. Connect the other end of the same cord to the RIGHT SPEAKER OUTPUT of your

receiver.

• Attach each marked wire (+) to the appropriate (+) terminal.

• Attach each plain wire (–) to the appropriate (–) terminal.

3. Connect the second cord to the left speaker and LEFT SPEAKER OUTPUT. Follow the

steps in 1 and 2 above.

Figure 3

How to make terminal con-

nections

Test the speakers

To make sure your speakers operate correctly:

1. Turn on your receiver. Set the receiver to MONO (monophonic), if that is an option on your

receiver.

2. Make sure that all special effects (such as surround sound) are turned off.

3. Set the balance control to normal (center position).

4. Play some deep bass passages of music through the speaker.

The sound should seem to come from a point between the two speakers. The bass should be

full and natural. If it is not, one of the connections may be reversed, causing the speakers to

play out of phase (refer to “Make the connections” above).

To correct the problem, make sure all the wires are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and

negative to negative (– to –). Then repeat steps 1 through 4 above to re-test the speakers.

Using and Maintaining Your Speakers

English

Enjoying sound in a variety of ways

Your 201

or 301

speakers are designed to work with a variety of stereo receivers and ampli-

ﬁers as either front or rear channel speakers. The open, spacious performance of these

speakers makes them an ideal choice for home theater, or for listening to CD’s, tapes, or

radio broadcasts (Figure 4).

Cleaning the speakers

Clean the surface of your speakers with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any sprays near the

system or allow liquids to spill into any openings. Also, do not use any solvents, chemicals, or

cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.

The speaker grille panels require no special care. You may vacuum them carefully to remove

dust.
