Getting Started
Before you begin...
Thank you for choosing Bose® MediaMate® computer speakers.
They are designed to provide high-fidelity sound for your computer
and CD-ROM. Unique features and Bose technologies make these
speakers a superior choice for home or office workspaces.
Magnetic shielding protects your monitor from interference, even
with the speakers placed directly against your computer. Bose
patented signal processing technology ensures full, rich sound at
low volumes and when using headphones. A spaciousness
enhancer actually improves the sound from mono sources. And
you can control the blend of sound easily, using the volume
control and source mixer located on the front of one speaker.
Please take the time to read this owner’s guide. It will help you
set up and use your new computer speakers properly, for the
greatest enjoyment.
