Setting Up
Your 401* Direct/Reilecting* speakers re-create a natural balance of reflected and direct sound energy for an open, spacious performance. They are designed at Bose’* to bring you high-quality listening pleasure.
The Stereo Space* array inside each speaker creates a pattern of direct/reflected sound similar to what you experience at a live concert. These distinct left and right speakers also feature tuned port enclosures that contribute to their deep, room-filling bass. An advanced crossover design adds to the realism and clear definition of both musical instruments and voices.
Your 401 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 enjoyment.
Carefully unpack the carton and save all packing materials for possible future use. Check the carton contents (Figure 1). The carton contains two 401 speakers labeled Part 1 (left) and Part 2 (right).
If either speaker appears damaged, do not use them. Instead, repack both speakers in the original carton and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately.
