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.
