Getting Started

Before you begin...

Thank you for choosing Bose

MediaMate

computer speakers.

They are designed to provide high-fidelity sound for your computer

and CD-ROM. Unique features and Bose technologies make these

speakers a superior choice for home or office workspaces.

Magnetic shielding protects your monitor from interference, even

with the speakers placed directly against your computer. Bose

patented signal processing technology ensures full, rich sound at

low volumes and when using headphones. A spaciousness

enhancer actually improves the sound from mono sources. And

you can control the blend of sound easily, using the volume

control and source mixer located on the front of one speaker.

Please take the time to read this owner’s guide. It will help you

set up and use your new computer speakers properly, for the

greatest enjoyment.

Unpack the speakers

Carefully unpack the carton. Save all packing materials for possible

future use.

Inspect the speakers. If any part appears damaged, do not use them.

Repack all parts in the original carton and call your authorized

Bose

dealer immediately.

Note:

Now is a good time to record the speakers’ serial numbers

at the beginning of this guide and on your warranty card.

Setting Up

Where to put your MediaMate

speakers

Bose

designed these speakers to sit on your desk, where their

angled shape directs sound toward the listener. Before placing

them there, attach four of the supplied rubber feet to the recesses

on the bottom of each speaker, for protection and added stability

(see Figure 2).

Set the powered speaker on the right and the accessory speaker

on the left as you face the monitor (see Figure 3). Or set them in

the reverse position, if you prefer having the powered speaker

controls closer to your left hand.

For best performance, be sure that both speakers are the same

distance from where you sit when listening to them.

Setting Up

Connect the speakers

The speaker cable is already attached at one end to the accessory

speaker. Plug the other end into the TO ACCESSORY SPEAKER

jack on the powered speaker (see Figure 4 on page 8).

Note:

If the speaker cable is disconnected while the system is

playing, only the powered speaker will continue to play. As a

protective feature, neither speaker will play when you reconnect

that cable. To restore sound to both speakers, disconnect and

reconnect the power pack.

How to connect to the sound source

You can connect up to two sound sources to MediaMate

speakers

– your computer and an external CD-ROM, for example. While some

CD-ROMs operate through the computer’s sound card, others

have a direct audio output jack. Before making any connections,

consult the owner’s manuals for the equipment you will be using, to

familiarize yourself with how it connects.

Use AUDIO INPUTS A for your computer or computer and CD-ROM

combination. Use AUDIO INPUTS B for an external CD-ROM with

an audio output jack, or for other components.

The sound source connected to B will play through your speakers

simultaneously with the sound from your computer. Use the source

mixer on the front of the powered speaker to adjust the balance of

sound coming from the two sources.

Two audio input cables are supplied with the speakers. If your

computer has a stereo mini jack, use the cable with a stereo mini

plug. Otherwise, use the cable with RCA plugs on both ends.

Match the colors on the connectors to the colors on the jacks, red

to red and white to white.

Setting Up/Using Your MediaMate

Speakers

1. Connect one end of the audio input cable to AUDIO INPUTS A.

2. Connect the other end to your computer’s AUDIO OUTPUT jack.

We recommend using LINE OUT if your computer sound card

offers more than one option.

3. To connect a separate CD-ROM, or another source, repeat

steps 1 and 2 using AUDIO INPUTS B.

How to connect the power pack

You must connect the AC power pack to operate the speakers.

1. Plug its cable end into the power jack on the powered speaker.

2. Plug the power pack blades into the wall outlet.

3. Turn on your computer sound source or external sound source.

How to use the volume control

Your computer hardware may have an external volume control. In

addition, the computer’s operating software and some other soft-

ware you use may provide on-screen controls for the volume.

Decide which controls you prefer to use to adjust the volume while

you listen. Then follow the proper instructions on page 9 for setting

the controls you will not use.

Using Your MediaMate

Speakers

VOLUME

MIX

To use the speaker control for volume adjustments

Set the volume control on your sound source or your on-screen

controls at two-thirds maximum. Then use the control on the

powered speaker to adjust the volume. Turn the knob right to raise

and left to lower the

volume (see Figure 5).

The output of sound

sources and sound

cards varies, so you

should experiment to

find the best setting for

your source.

To use your sound

source control for

volume adjustments

Set the volume control

on the powered speaker

to maximum. Then use

the volume control on

your sound source or

your on-screen controls

to make adjustments.

How to use

the mix control

The source mixer adjusts the balance of sound coming from each

source, without increasing or decreasing total speaker volume.

Source A is your computer or computer and CD-ROM combina-

tion. Source B is whatever source you connected to AUDIO

INPUTS B.

• For equal amounts of sound from both sources, set the knob

halfway between Source A and Source B.

• For more sound from your computer (than from Source B), or to

silence Source B, turn the knob to the left.

• For more sound from Source B (than from your computer), or to

silence your computer, turn the knob to the right.

When to use the headphone jack

To listen in private, plug the headphones into the headphone jack.

This mutes the sound coming from the speakers. Use the volume

control to adjust the headphone volume.
