INTRODUCTION
Placing the speaker
When using your SoundLink® Wireless Mobile speaker indoors, the tonal quality can vary depending on where the speaker is placed in a room. When moving the speaker around within a room or from room to room, keep the following guidelines in mind:
•The speaker is designed to sound best when placed on a shelf, counter, desk, or tabletop that is 24 to 48 inches high.
•For best bass response, the speaker should be placed near a wall; bass response decreases as the speaker is placed closer to the center of a room.
•When operating the speaker, always use the cover as a stand. Do not lay the speaker on its back. Sound is emitted from both the front and rear of the unit.
•The speaker should not be placed in small areas that are enclosed on all sides except the front, as this will adversely affect sound quality.
•Do not place the speaker on wet or dirty surfaces. Doing so could transfer dirt, sand, or moisture onto the speaker when the cover is closed.
If you are using your speaker outdoors, you should expect the tonal quality to change as you move farther from the speaker.
