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

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.
