Rear Stand Installation Instructions

The Boston Bravo can be used horizontally on an untilted flat
surface, such as a table, shelf or the top of a rear projection
TV using the included rear bracket stand.

First mount the speaker to the bracket (see above). 

Next, place the speaker in the location that you intend to use
it in (ie, correct grille/logo and tweeter/woofer orientation).
Hold the stand in an upright position as indicated (note that
the stand angles away from the bracket). Line up the stand
with the lower slot in the bracket so that the 2 middle “fin-
gers” are on either side of the web that bisects the slot.
Slightly angle the stand away from the bracket and push the
stand fingers up into the slot so that the 4 inner “fingers” are
placed 

inside

the slot and the 2 outer “thumbs” are placed

outside

the slot. Gently push the stand up into the bracket

slot until the “fingers” and “thumbs” snap into place.

Attach the rubber feet to the stand and cabinet (detailed on page 4). 

Ceiling Clearance

If the Bravo II is to be mounted so that the
top or the side of the speaker will meet a
flush surface, either a wall (horizontally) or
the ceiling (vertically), then measure the
exact distance as shown here from that sur-
face to the top or side of the bracket.

Mount the Speaker to the Bracket

Remove the speaker’s grille by grasping the back of the
cabinet in one hand, while gently pulling the grille away
with the other hand.

Align the openings in the back of the speaker with the
two posts protruding from the bracket as shown below.

Gently remove any slack in the speaker wire as you push
the speaker firmly onto the bracket.

Attach the speaker to the bracket by inserting the 
supplied screws through the holes in the front of the
speaker and into the bracket as shown below 

(do not

over-tighten the screws).

Replace the grille on the speaker.

NOTE:

The Bravo II is not securely attached to its bracket

unless the screws are used.
