== Staying in the Zone ==
== Tilting the {{L1}} ==
Tip the PowerStand by a few degrees from the back or the front by a few degrees. Easy ways to do this: Fold a B1 case and tuck it under the front or the back. If you have the logo bags with the wheels, then leaving the PowerStand in the case will naturally tip it down. I carry a couple of sheets of bubble pack packing material in the case and fold it to suit.
For best results you want to have the audience within the zone of sound parallel to the {{L1 CR}}. That is, you want to position the {{L1}} so the audience is within the seven foot high wall of sound it projects.


Note: Although there are numerous references to tilting the {{L1}} (throughout the {{forum}}) you must exercise great care that you do not increase the risk of having the System tip over and hurt someone (or the System). References to tilting the {{L1}} cannot be deemed to have been endorsed by {{Bose}}.
Tilt the PowerStand by a few degrees from the back or the front by a few degrees. Easy ways to do this:
* Fold a B1 case and tuck it under the front or the back.
* If you have the logo bags with the wheels, then leaving the PowerStand in the case will naturally tip it down (forward). I carry a couple of sheets of bubble pack packing material in the case and fold it to suit.
* Rubber doorstops are lightweight and can provide a sturdy means by which you can alter the angle of the base.
