Sound so lifelike its startling.
The Bose) family of Acoustimass speaker systems and Lifestyle! music systems.
Their Virtually Invisible! speaker design makes them almost disappear from view. Yet

their Bose patented speaker technology envelopes you with sound. Sound almost
beyond belief in its clarity, fidelity, detail, and range. Sound so lifelike, your ears
wont believe your eyes.
How can a sound so rich, so pure, so big come from something so small?

The secret is in the integrated approach to the system. Bose has relentlessly
researched and carefully developed each element to work in tandem:

0 A pair of small, wide-range Direct/Reflecting" speakers - each hardly larger than
a coffee mug - delivers an unusually spacious and open stereo image.

0 A compact bass module - easily hidden behind drapes or under fumiture -
produces deep, rich, lifelike bass.

Live Performance

The patented AcoustinumvS bass module

Most Bose Acoustimass speakers
produce both reflected and direct
sound. This combination is what re-
creates a more natural sound that
conventional speakers cannot match.
And a larger effective stereo area as
well. Whats more, you can swivel the
top and bottom cube of each speaker to
adjust it to suit your listening tastes.
Make a small area sound like an
expansive concert hall. Or a large
room, an intimate cafe.

The Acoustimass bass module
creates and processes sound inside the
highly engineered enclosure. It reduces
distortion to a level below the audible
range. What you hear is smooth, deep
bass. And because you hear no
distortion, neither do you sense the
direction from which the sound is
coming. All the sound appears to come
from the tiny Acoustimass cubes. You
simply wont believe it.

...a sonic standout.
