Before you begin
Bose
®
Virtually Invisible
®
speaker technology allows you to enjoy lifelike home performances
from the very latest surround-sound encoded movies, CDs, and television shows, without a
room full of speakers. Each of the five cube speaker arrays, along with the Powered Acousti-
mass
®
module, reproduces the full-spectrum of sound from multi-channel digital program-
ming. Integrated Signal Processing assures full bass performance from all channels, at all
listening levels, regardless of your receiver settings.
Your stereo VCR, stereo television, or DVD player sends the encoded program material to the
surround-sound receiver, which interprets and distributes the information to the Powered
Acoustimass module. The module delivers the bass for all channels and sends appropriate
sounds to each cube array. The sound mix varies with different program types: dialogue is
usually sent to the center speaker, a visual soundstage is created by the left and right front
speakers, and you feel in the center of the action because sounds and special effects are
directed to the surround (rear) speakers. At any point in a surround-sound performance, you
may hear sound from one, a few, or all of the speakers.
To select surround-encoded program material, look for any of the terms Surround, Dolby
Surround, the double-D symbol
*, other digital formats, or the word “sur-
round” preceding a TV broadcast. Your system is fully compatible with the latest home
theater receivers. You can also enjoy a wide variety of stereo programming that is not sur-
round-encoded with your Acoustimass 15 speakers.
