Speaker placement
Figure 2
Speakers mounted on a wall
•For best results, mount both speakers horizontally (Figure 2).
•Place them a minimum of seven feet apart, facing the listening area.
•Make sure they do not face each other.
7 ft (2 m), minimum
Note: For Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance, horizontal mounting is required.
Note: Your 151® SE speakers can be mounted vertically. However, when mounted vertically you will not experience Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance.
Note: If you choose to place the speakers on a flat horizontal surface, put a layer of suitable material (such as rubber) under the speaker to prevent speaker movement or damage to the flat surface due to vibration of the speaker.
CAUTION: Do not mount the brackets on surfaces that are not sturdy enough, or that have hazards concealed behind them, such as electrical wire or plumbing. If you are unsure about installing the bracket, contact a qualified professional installer.
CAUTION: Do not install near any heat sources, such as halogen lamps, registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
CAUTION: Do not hang items from the brackets or speakers. Do not place items on top of the speakers. The brackets were designed to support the weight of the speakers only.
CAUTION: The 151 SE speakers are not intended to be installed in automobiles.
Before mounting your speakers
•Check local building codes regarding the installation of outdoor speakers. If you are uncomfortable about installing this product, contact your Bose dealer to arrange for a qualified serviceman to help you.
•Measure the length of speaker cord needed to connect each speaker to your amplifier. See “Required tools and materials” for recommended wire lengths and sizes.
•Determine the best route to protect the wire.
•Make sure the speakers cannot fall and cause injuries.
•Keep the speakers at least 9 inches (23 cm) from any video screen or monitor. Bose 151 SE speakers are not magnetically shielded.

1.At the back of your speaker (Figure 6), unscrew the hex knobs on the terminal posts until you can see the small hole going through each post.
2.Insert the marked (+) wire into the red (+) terminal. Insert the plain
3.Check the speaker connections carefully. Make sure no loose strands of wire touch across terminals creating a short circuit that can damage an amplifier or receiver.
Note: After making the connections, any bare lengths of speaker wire can be affected by exposure to the outdoor environment. To protect the speaker wires, apply a thin coating of silicone caulking material, such as RTV adhesive, to any bare sections of speaker wire.

Testing the connections
Set the balance control on your receiver or amplifier to normal (centered) and play some deep bass passages of music through the speakers. Verify that the sound seems to come from a point between the two speakers, and that the bass is full and natural. If not, check your connections again; they may be reversed, causing the speakers to play out of phase. Make sure all the wires are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (– to

Højttalere monteret på en væg
Bemærk: Det er nødvendigt at montere vandret for at opnå Stereo
Bemærk: 151®
Bemærk: Hvis De vælger at placere højttalerne på en vandret flade, skal De placere et beskyttelsesunderlag, f.eks. gummi, under højttalerne for at forhindre højttalerne i at flytte sig eller i at beskadige den vandrette flade pga. vibrationer.
FORSIGTIG! Monter ikke beslagene på flader, der ikke er tilstrækkelig robuste, eller på flader, der evt. dækker over rør eller elektriske installationer.Hvis De er usikker med hensyn til monteringen af monteringsbeslaget, skal De henvende Dem til en professionel montør.
FORSIGTIG! Monter ikke i nærheden af varmekilder, såsom radiatorer, varmeovne, komfurer eller andre apparater (herunder forstærkere), der frembringer varme.
FORSIGTIG! Hæng ikke ting i beslagene eller over højttalerne. Placer ikke ting oven på højttalerne. Beslagene er kun beregnet til højtalernes vægt.
FORSIGTIG! 151
Inden De monterer Deres højttalere
