Setting Up Your Acoustimass® 3 Speaker System English Before you begin Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Acoustimass® 3 speaker system. Its quality construction and advanced technologies result from years of ongoing research at Bose. Bose patented Acoustimass speaker technology delivers full, natural audio performance and, for all of the sound it produces, this Virtually Invisible® system takes up very little space.
Setting Up Your Acoustimass® 3 Speaker System Selecting a location for the Acoustimass module ® English The Acoustimass module can be hidden almost anywhere in a room. Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between the opening (port) and the wall. To prevent interference, keep the module at least 2 feet (0.6 m) from any video screen. For a balanced sound in most rooms, place the module along a wall within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the corner.
Setting Up Your Acoustimass® 3 Speaker System Connecting the cube speakers to the Acoustimass module English ® Use the following steps to connect the cube speakers to the rear panel of the Acoustimass module: 1. Select one pair of wires, and locate the terminal tab on the rear of the left cube speaker. 2. Press the terminal tab on the back of the speaker and insert the marked wire into the red (+) terminal and the plain wire into the black (–) terminal (Figure 3). 3.

Connect the marked wire to the positive (+) terminal and the plain wire to the negative (–) terminal. CAUTION: Before you plug in your receiver or amplifier, make sure that no strands of wire from any terminal are brushing against any other terminal. Such “bridged” wires create short circuits which can damage your receiver or amplifier.
Operating Your Acoustimass® Speaker System English Checking the system Make sure your system is working properly by following these steps: 1. Turn on your amplifier or receiver. 2.

You should also hear the module. 3. Turn the balance control all the way to the right.
