Acoustimass® 5 Series II
Direct/Reflecting® speaker system


Our most advanced solution
for the two surround channels.

Place these two palm-sized cube speaker arrays near the rear of your room and enjoy the surround effects that put you in the middle of the movie action. Using our patented Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology, these speakers re-create a natural blend of reflected and direct sound. The result is a sense of spaciousness that conventional surround speakers cannot match. A hideaway Acoustimass module delivers deep bass for the surround channels, adding to the drama and excitement of movies, sports and TV programs.


Key Points

  • Rich, powerful bass with no audible distortion enters the room on a mass of air from the patented hideaway Acoustimass module.

  • Lifelike, room-filling sound all appears to come from cube speaker arrays that fit in the palm of your hand.

  • A natural balance of reflected and direct sound from Bose Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology provides open, spacious sound throughout the listening area. Simply rotate the cube speaker arrays to customize the sound to the acoustics of your room.

  • Virtually Invisible® speaker design eliminates placement problems of larger, conventional speakers. The tiny cube speakers fit almost anywhere, and complement any decor.


    In-Depth Information

    The Bose Acoustimass 5 Series II speaker system uses both Acoustimass speaker technology and Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology to create a system that delivers lifelike, spacious sound while blending into your listening area.

    The secret is in the patented Acoustimass module, a product of Bose research and development.

    Designed to be hidden almost anywhere in your room, the Acoustimass module itself hides some remarkable technology on the inside. Through its configuration, bass is launched into the room on an air mass, rather than from a vibrating speaker cone. This, combined with the filtering effect of the enclosure's design, eliminates audible distortion. And when there's no distortion, bass is non-localizable in your room -- you can't tell where it's coming from. That's why the Acoustimass module can be placed almost anywhere -- behind a chair, under a couch -- and all the music appears to come from the tiny cube arrays.
