RECOMMENDATIONS
• Place the soundbar below and in front of the TV (preferred) or above your TV with
the front of the soundbar facing into the room.
• For best sound quality, make sure the speakers on top of the soundbar (up-firing
speakers) aren’t blocked.
• When the soundbar is mounted to the wall, make sure the top of the soundbar is at
least 4 in (10 cm) away from the TV.
• If placing the soundbar on a shelf or TV stand, position the front of the soundbar as
close as possible to the front edge of the shelf or stand for best sound quality.
• Place the soundbar outside of and away from metal cabinets, other audio/video
components, and direct heat sources.
• Place the soundbar on its rubber feet on a stable and level surface. For proper
support, both feet must be resting on the surface. Vibration can cause the soundbar
to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood.
• Keep the back side of the soundbar at least 0.4 in (1 cm) from any other surface.
Blocking the port(s) on this side aects sound quality.
• Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.
• To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment at least 1 – 3 ft
(0.3 – 0.9 m) away from the soundbar.
• To avoid wireless interference, some Wi-Fi access points may need to be placed
up to 8 – 10 ft (2.4 – 3.0 m) away from the soundbar, optional bass module, and
optional surround speakers.
• For best sound quality, don’t place the soundbar in an enclosed cabinet or
diagonally in a corner.
• Don’t place any objects on top of the soundbar.
CAUTION: Do NOT place the soundbar on its front, back, or top when in use.

ADAPTiQ AuDio cALiBrATion
After you set up the soundbar using the Bose Music app, the app prompts you to
run ADAPTiQ audio calibration for best sound quality. ADAPTiQ audio calibration
customizes the sound of the system to the acoustics of your listening area by taking
audio measurements at multiple locations in the room. To run an audio calibration, you
need 10 minutes when the room is quiet.
During ADAPTiQ audio calibration, a microphone on the top of the ADAPTiQ headset
(provided with the soundbar) measures the sound characteristics of your room to
determine optimal sound quality.
RUN ADAPTIQ AUDIO CALIBRATION
If you later connect an optional bass module or surround speakers, move the
soundbar, or move any furniture, run ADAPTiQ audio calibration again to ensure
optimal sound quality.
To run ADAPTiQ audio calibration, use the Bose Music app. You can access this option
from the Settings menu.
