Your Acoustimass system

ik you for purchasing the Bose' Acoustimass-3 Series III speaker system. Its quality struction and advanced technologies result from years of ongoing research at Bose.

Bose patented Acoustimass speaker technology, for instance, delivers full, natural audio performance. And, for all of the sound it produces, this Virtually Invisible’ system takes up very little space. The tiny cube speakers fit almost anywhere, while the Acoustimass module is designed to be hidden behind drapes, under furniture, or in the corner of the room.

Your Acoustimass-3 system is significantly different from conventional speakers. So it is important to read all of the instructions on positioning and connecting the speakers arxl the module. This is the best way to get the fullest enjoyment from your new system.

Unpack the system

Unpack the system carefully. Avoid setting the the bass module down on its connection panel, which could scratch a surface. (Save the carton and packing materials in case you ever want to ship the system.) If any parts appear damaged, do not attempt to use the system. Repack all parts in the original carton and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately.

Placement

Where to place the cube speakers

You can place cube speakers anywhere from 3 to 15 feet (.9 - 4.6 m) apart. For the most natural

sourd in average sized rooms, place them 6 to 12 feet (1.8-3.7 m) apart. Magnetic shielding allows you to place them close to a video screen without causing interference.

Bose* mounting accessories, including wall/ceiling mounting brackets, floor star>ds, and table starxis, add to your choice of where

to place the cube speakers. For more information or to order accessories, contact your Bose dealer or call Bose directly at the "Service" number listed on the inside back page.

Where to place the Acoustimass bass module

The Acoustimass bass module can be hidden almost anywhere in a room (Figure 2). Use your sound preference and convenience as a guide. Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space be­ tween the openings (ports) and the wall. And, to prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (.6 m) from any video screen.

For a baiarrced sound in most rooms, place the module along a wall within 6 feet (1.5 m) of the comer. To increase bass response, move the module closer to a comer without blocking the openings (Figure 3). To decrease the bass, place the module farther from the comer.
