The cube arrays adjust to deliver the optimal combination of reflected and direct sound for any listening environment. Plus, the compact size of the cube arrays and the almost unlimited placement options for the Acoustimass bass module make the Acoustimass powered speaker system easily adaptable to any size room and any decor Belay are descriptions of these features and some tips on placing and adjusting the system components to help you get the best sound possible from them. Bose Dynamic Equalization Circuitry. Patented built-in Bose Dynamic Equalization circuitry eliminates a problem common to conventional audio systems-Ices of bass at low volume levels. The ear is less sensitive to low bass at low listening levels and cannot hear parts of the musical spectrum-even entire instruments-on a conventional system when it is operated at a low volume level. The proprietary Bose Dynamic Equalization technology, developed after 10 years of acoustic and psychoacoustic research, solves this problem by continuously (dynamically) adjusting the level of bass produced depe ing on the volume level chosen--without distorting the spoken voice. This also eliminates the need to readjust tone controls every time the volume level is turned up or down. Music always sounds full and rich. whether the system is played very softly or loudly. Distance Between Cube Arrays. In average-sized listening rooms. you get the best stereo sound with the cube arrays placed 6 to 12 feet (approximately 1.8•9.6m) apart Figure 7.
