Setting Up
Checking the connections
Check all connections from the receiver to the Acoustimass
®
module and from the module to
the cube speaker arrays (Figure 5 and Figure 6). Make sure all cube speaker arrays are con-
nected to the proper terminals according to their position in your room. Check that all wires
are connected to your surround receiver in phase (+ to + and to ). Incorrect wiring can
result in a total loss of module output. Correct wiring problems before you plug your receiver
in and turn it on.
Connecting the Acoustimass module to power
Note: Bose
®
recommends using a quality surge suppressor on all electronics equipment.
Voltage variations and spikes can damage electronic components in any system. A quality
suppressor can eliminate the vast majority of failures attributed to surges and may be pur-
chased at an electronics store.
After you have checked all system connections, plug the power cord of the powered Acousti-
mass module into an AC (mains) receptacle. Your Acoustimass speaker system will turn on
and off automatically as it receives a signal from your surround receiver.

Your Acoustimass 15 Series II speaker system can be upgraded to provide you with 6.1 or
