What's in the Box

Setup

Setting up your Bose Virtually Invisible 300 Wireless Surround Speakers is designed to be straightforward, allowing you to enjoy enhanced audio quickly. These speakers are intended to be paired with a compatible Bose soundbar, such as the SoundTouch 300, and optionally the Acoustic 300 wireless bass module.

Placement

For optimal surround sound, position the speakers behind your primary listening area. The wireless connectivity allows for flexible placement without the need for long audio cables running across your room. Ensure each speaker's wireless receiver is within range of your soundbar and has access to a power outlet.

  3. Ensure your Bose SoundTouch 300 soundbar (and Acoustic 300 bass module, if applicable) is powered on and connected to your home network.

Audio Calibration (ADAPTiQ)

After connecting, perform the ADAPTiQ audio calibration using the headset provided with your Bose soundbar. This process optimizes the sound performance for your specific room's acoustics and speaker placement, ensuring balanced and immersive surround sound. This step is crucial for the best audio experience.

Operating Your Speakers

Once set up, your Virtually Invisible 300 speakers operate seamlessly with your Bose soundbar. They automatically power on and off with the soundbar and adjust their volume in sync with the main system.

Volume Adjustment

The overall system volume, including the surround speakers, is controlled via your soundbar's remote control or the Bose SoundTouch app. Some users may find it beneficial to fine-tune the individual volume levels of the surround speakers through the app for a personalized listening experience, especially if the initial calibration results in perceived low sound from the rear speakers.

Source Selection

The surround speakers will play audio from whatever source is selected on your Bose soundbar (e.g., TV, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi streaming). They are designed to provide a full, immersive soundstage for all your audio content.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Bose Virtually Invisible 300 Wireless Surround Speakers, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
