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.
Getting Started 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). Figure 2 Bottom of speaker with recesses for rubber feet Set the powered speaker on the right and the accessory speaker on the left as you face the monitor (see Figure 3).
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.
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.
Using Your MediaMate® Speakers 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.
Maintaining Your MediaMate® Speakers How to clean the speakers Wipe the speakers using a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent such as dish soap. Do not use solvents, chemicals, or sprays. You can also lightly vacuum the grilles, if you prefer. Do not allow liquids to spill or objects to drop into any openings. Troubleshooting If you have a problem with your MediaMate speakers, turn off your sound source and try the solutions below.
Product Information Warranty period Bose® MediaMate® computer speakers are covered by a limited 1-year transferable warranty.
