Placing the speaker
When using your SoundLink® Bluetooth® 
Mobile speaker II 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 no
t 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.
