Checking and finalizing connections
Before plugging in the Acoustimass module, check all connections from the receiver to the
the module and the module to the small speakers (Figure 5 on page 8 and Figure 8).
• Make sure all cube speaker arrays are connected to the proper terminals according to their
posi
tion in your room.
• Check to be sure all wires are connected to your surround receiver with the proper polarity
(+ to
+ and – to – wires). Incorrect wiring can result in a total loss of module output.
• Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver and turn it on.
When all the connections check out, plug the power cord from the Acoustimass module into
an AC
(mains) outlet. Plug in the receiver also.
Note:
Bose recommends using a quality surge suppressor on all electronics equipment.
Voltage variations and spikes can damage electronic components i
n any system. Using a high-
quality suppressor (available at electronics stores) can eliminate the vast majority of failures
caused by a power surge.
Optional upgrade for your Acoustimass 15 system
Your Acoustimass 15 Series III speaker system can be upgraded to provide you with 6.1-
or 6-channel surround sound.
The 6.1 upgrade kit contains one cube speaker array, a 50-foot (15.2 m) connecting cable,
and co
mplete connection instructions.
To purchase the 6.1 upgrade kit in the same color as your current system, contact your local
auth
orized Bose
®
retailer. Or to contact Bose directly, see the address list included in the
carton.
When ordering, you will need to provide the serial number of y
our Acoustimass module.
Refer to “For your records” on page 2 if you recorded the number there. If not, you can locate
the number on the rear of the module near the connection panel.
