About the Bose® CineMate® 15 home theater speaker system
A sound bar with less "bar" and more "sound"
A sound bar with less "bar" and more "sound"
If you want rich home theater sound from your TV, you don't have to get one of those extra-long sound bars. Bose has a home theater system with a speaker so compact, you'll wonder how it can sound so big. The Bose® CineMate® 15 home theater speaker system offers rich, textured sound with plenty of power and deep bass impact. When you hear how this system transforms movie and TV soundtracks, you'll kick yourself for living with your TV's puny speakers for so long.
The Bose® CineMate® 15 home theater speaker system features a compact sound bar that fits easily on any TV stand or shelf.
Rich, full sound from a compact system
The CineMate® 15's Acoustimass® module delivers powerful bass response to complement the sound bar's clear detail.
The CineMate® 15's compact sound bar is only a bar in performance — not in size. Its design resembles a smaller center channel speaker you'd see in a large multi-speaker system. Bose® TrueSpace® technology allows this speaker to deliver clear, spacious sound without taking up much space. It easily fits in front of your TV and is perfect for more narrow stands or shelf systems. The bass is left to the Acoustimass® module, which serves up the low-frequency sounds that are crucial to giving movie soundtracks realism and dynamic punch. Together, they add excitement and drama to everything from movie nights to everyday TV watching. Plus, you'll be able to understand dialogue like never before.
Fast setup with a single-cable connection to your TV
Think this system is complicated to set up? No way — Bose® specializes in making easy-to-use products. The sound bar connects to your TV with a single cable — two different cables are included, ensuring this system works with most any TV. The Acoustimass® module connects to the sound bar with another included cable. Plug in the power cord, and you're done.
No more remote roulette
You won't need to line up a bunch of remotes to control your TV and other components with the Bose® CineMate® 15. It comes with a programmable universal remote, so it can operate your TV, Blu-ray player, cable box, and other components as well as the CineMate® 15.

Features
CineMate 15 Home Theater System: The CineMate 15 Home Theater Speaker System offers spacious home theater sound from a compact soundbar speaker and hide-away Acoustimass module. The CineMate 15 system connects directly to your flat-panel HDTV, with no additional AV receiver required. Exclusive Bose innovations enable wide, spacious sound that extends well beyond the soundbar speaker's physical size. The included wired Acoustimass module adds big bass-notes to your movies, music, and games; while it is neatly tucked away from view. The CineMate 15 Home Theater Speaker System is all controlled with a simplified universal IR remote.
Soundbar Speaker w/ TruSpace Technology: The Bose CineMate 15's soundbar speaker employs a four speaker array along with proprietary TruSpace technology to produce a full, spacious sound that is wider than the TV screen. The result is a greater dynamic sound from your favorite TV shows and movies. The soundbar speaker uses the reflective surfaces of the room to deliver a spacious home theater experience. To ensure optimal audio performance, the soundbar should be placed equidistant from each side wall and directly in front-center of the TV. No objects should be placed on either side of the soundbar, nor should it be placed inside a cabinet, as this would result in a limited sound stage.
Acoustimass Module w/ Bass Control: The Acoustimass module works in concert with the soundbar speaker to deliver full-range sound. The patented Bose design produces deep low frequencies with no audible distortion. The rear-panel bass control knob on the Acoustimass module allows you to change the bass level output of the system. When the module is tucked behind a curtain or chair, all of the sound seems to come directly from the soundbar speaker. For best sound quality, the Acoustimass module should be placed on the floor against the same wall as the television and soundbar, with an electrical outlet nearby for the power cord. The module should not be placed on a shelf or table.
Analog + Digital Inputs: The Bose CineMate 15 speaker system is fitted with two digital inputs (optical/coaxial) and one stereo analog input (RCA), so you can connect virtually any TV; all audio connections are found on back of the soundbar speaker. The optical and coaxial digital inputs support 2ch PCM and Dolby Digital. To enjoy the full benefit of hearing audio through the Bose CineMate system, the internal speakers in your TV should be turned off.
Universal Remote Control: The Bose CineMate 15 includes an IR universal remote control for wireless operation of the speaker system. You can also program the universal remote to control your TV, DVD, Blu-ray Disc player, cable/satellite box, game system, or DVR. You can also program most other manufacturer universal remote controllers to operate the Bose CineMate 15 system.
Auto Power Off: The CineMate 15 system will automatically power off after one hour if no audio signal is present.

Got this for our new 75' Sony Ultra HD for the bedroom and it is amazing sound quality in a very small package. We feel like we have IMAX in our bedroom. You will not be disappointed in this product.
