Select locations for your Model 141 speakers

Your Model 141 speakers are designed to provide full stereo performance while taking up

very little space. You can easily fit them on a shelf or table, either horizontally or standing on
end.

For best performance:

• Place the speakers at least 5 feet (1.5 m) apart.

• Position them within 18 inches (45 cm) of the wall behind them.

• Avoid placing them exactly halfway between the floor and ceiling.

• To prevent video interference, keep them at least 2 feet (61 cm) from any video screen.

Note: Set the speakers only on surfaces that are stable and level. For some surfaces, you
may want to use rubber feet for additional stability. To request them free of charge, contact
Bose Service (see the inside back cover) or your local Bose Service agency and ask for

in Number 178321.
