Driver Technology

Virtually Invisible Speaker System Design: The Virtually Invisible speaker system design gives you expansive sound without dominating your décor. The Acoustimass module delivers deep, powerful bass without audible port noise, so it can be hidden almost anywhere in the listening area. The music and sound effects seem to come from the tiny cube speaker arrays.

Direct/Reflecting Speaker Technology: The Direct/Reflecting speaker technology helps the compact cube speaker arrays deliver more open, spacious sound throughout the listening area. You hear enhanced surround sound and exceptionally lifelike stereo with a larger soundstage.

Cube Speaker Arrays: Each of the four cube speaker arrays features dual 2-1/2" wide-range Twiddlers. The top & bottom sections of the cube speaker arrays can be rotated to create room-filling sound patterns.

Horizontal Center Channel Speaker: Designed to visually complement flat-panel TV screens while delivering natural-sounding dialog & vocals. The horizontal center speaker uses the same dual 2-1/2" wide-range Twiddlers as the cube arrays.

Powered Acoustimass Module: The Acoustimass module uses a proprietary enclosure and patented technologies to produce deep, rich bass with clarity and balance. The powered Acoustimass module uses two 5-1/4" high-excursion paper cone woofers, each with a foam surround.

Integrated Signal Processing: The Bose patented integrated signal processing compensates for the human ear's reduced sensitivity to bass at low volumes. You hear the proper balance of deep bass, even at very low, late-night listening levels and dialogue continues to sound natural.

Controls

LFE Control: The LFE control increases or decreases the relative level of low-frequency effects on movie soundtracks.

Bass Level: The Bass control increases or decreases the bass level of the Acoustimass module.

Automatic System Protection Circuitry: When played at high volume, this system's automatic protection circuitry activates to prevent damage to the system from electrical stress or overload. When this happens you may notice a slight decrease in volume, which is normal.

Connections

Audio Input: The Acoustimass module is fitted with a 15-pin male jack for use with supplied system input cable; the other end of the system input cable has tinned wire that connects to the left front, right front, center, left rear and right rear speaker outputs & a mono male RCA plug that connects to the subwoofer output of the A/V receiver or amplifier.

Audio Output: The Acoustimass module also features 5 RCA jacks (Left Front, Right Front, Center, Left Rear, & Right Rear) that connect directly to the cube speaker arrays, using the supplied speaker cables.

Power Cord: The Acoustimass module Jack features a detachable 7.75' AC power cord.

Mounting Options

Speaker Mounting: Each cube speaker array & the center channel speaker has a rear-mounted 5mm female threaded insert. The threaded inserts allow you to mount the speaker arrays using optional stands or wall-mount brackets.

Q
Can I put the Subwoofer face side up because its too deep?

A
Not too sure if that would work or not. you probably need to contact Bose for that answer.
joseph r  Jan 26, 2015
A
By face up I think you mean the front as depicted in the pictures being at the top. I would not suggest this. The back of the unit is where the cables attach and is rounded so it would be difficult. In addition this would probably effect the true base of the unit. I don't recommend modifying this unit as it was designed to perform as shown. You can however lay it on its side per Bose instructions, if preferred. I love my System.
mike  Jan 25, 2015

The answer is no. See owners manual page 7 figure 3 under Powered Acoustimass Module
john j  Jan 25, 2015

No The wires are on the rear of the case

Q
What is the BEST HOME THEATER RECEIVER for the BOSE ACOUSTIMASS SERIES IV HOME ENTERTAINMENT? I like the YAMAHA receiver design/Style but I'm really most interested in a receiver that will bring out the BEST/TRUE sound out these BOSE SPEAKERS.....any feedback will be highly appreciated, thanks.

I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: We have many good receivers that will work well with the Bose speakers and Yamaha would be a great choice. I would suggest going with the RXV477. It has plenty of power, lots of inputs, and great sound quality. You can find it here: http://www.crutchfield.com/app/product/item/default.aspx?I=022RXV477 If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.

Q
AM5 series iii VS AM10 series iv for best best etereo sound for music?
christopher  Jul 03, 2014
5 answers
A
If I understand your question. You are wanting to know if the AM5 Series iii speakers are best for stereo music listing. It depends on your music source (Equipment providing Audio to your speakers). If your source is only capable of outputting Stereo audio than I would purchase the AM5 Series. However, if you source is capable of providing Stereo audio, Video with 5.1, 6.1 audio or any other similar audio formate, I recommend the AM10 series speakers.

Really use mine mostly for television. Music is pretty good I am sing a Sony amp.
steven  Jul 03, 2014

Sound and clarity is great. Would like a little more volume at times, but I have these in a very large 30 x 18 room. Love the simplicity of hook up.
j douglas  Jul 03, 2014

I have been very happy with this system. After wanting a Bose setup for years, I finally went for it. We also have the outdoor speakers set up with this system for our poolhouse! Our son loves chilling by the pool listening to the Bose.
folsom  Jul 03, 2014
A
Probably not. I'm sure there are audiophiles that can steer you right. But if you like Bose the next series up is much nicer.

Q
I am getting this system in the mail soon. I have a system currently setup with all the wires running in the walls next to all the speaker are speaker wire terminals. My question is do I need any special products to replace my current system with this system in order to use my current in-wall wires?
louis  Dec 10, 2013

A
You can use your in-wall wires, but you'll need to connect them to the bass module.
vincent  Apr 09, 2014
A
Louis, I had the same scenario. It is interesting how the large ribbon cable connects all the speakers to the sub. The wires then run through the sub back to your all outlet to connect to your speakers. The sound has a very natural sound and we are using the system in a large 30x18 room. I'd buy it again.
j douglas  Dec 18, 2013

Not sure what your whole system might be so I will tell you what I have it that will Help. My system is driven by a Denon AVR 1612 Amp 5.1. For my Bose setup this works great for my application with great sound, ease of operation (nothing to change once I did the room evaluation by the Denon Menu. When I received my speakers it was purely plug and play with simple detailed instructions..Good Luck
mike  Dec 11, 2013

Louis, If I understand your question, you have wiring currently located in your walls running to all the locations you plan on installing speakers. Your current wiring will work as long as it is a compatible gauge wire to match your present speakers. I think the wiring supplied with the speakers you ordered is 16 gauge, you can ask your Crutchfield adviser to be certain. If the wiring is compatible I do not see any issue with using the present wire. All you need to do is make sure you connect your speakers to your present wall terminal with the appropriate matting connectors. I purchased the recommended wall speaker mounts for my rear speakers and the recommended speaker stands for my front left and right speakers. I purchased the recommended center TV speaker mount for my center speaker located on my TV.
john j  Dec 11, 2013

Not knowing your in wall wording...not sure...but I'm thinking your wire will work..unless you have towers that you want to set up in bi-wire...if not ...any 2-sure should b fine...12 awg is best
ross c  Dec 10, 2013

Sorry but mine used the original wires that came with the set and I do not have any in wall setup. Thank you
charles  Dec 10, 2013

Thank you
louis  Dec 10, 2013

system comes with it's own special wires and connectors to sub woofer that connects to all the speakers
kenneth l  Dec 10, 2013
A
The speaker wires in the walls stay the same. However, the speaker wires feed into the subwoofer and a special cable goes from the subwoofer to the receiver.
jeff  Dec 10, 2013

No u dont need anything if u have wires already hooked to wall just enjoy

Adjustements to the settings will largely depend on the room that it is in. If you purchased the unit from Crutchfield, feel free to contact our Tech Support team. They can help walk you through the settings on this unit. If you did not purchase the unit from Crutchfield, then you may want to contact the manufacturer or post your question in our forums: http://community.crutchfield.com
