Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Acoustimass 3 speaker system from Bose delivers surprisingly rich performance while practically disappearing into your décor. The system, the company's smallest and most affordable to date, produces lifelike sound from your stereo components (DVD player, CD player, VCR, DVR, MP3 player, etc.) and, when connected to your surround sound receiver, it's also an appropriate choice for use as a left/right rear-channel home theater array. The speakers' compact size makes them a great choice for smaller rooms.

Two single-cube speakers standing just 3 inches high are elegantly designed to blend with virtually any furnishings. Patented Acoustimass speaker technology delivers the ear-pleasing low tones of a bassoon or the deep, dramatic effects of movies. Best of all, you can easily stash the Acoustimass module behind furniture or in a corner, and the system's lifelike sound will appear to flow from the tiny cubes.

Hookup couldn't be simpler: route left/right speaker wires (supplied) from your integrated amplifier or surround receiver to the back of the Acoustimass module (essentially a passive subwoofer), then run two more lengths between the Acoustimass module's left/right speaker outputs to the 2 cube speakers. All three units use convenient clip-type speaker terminals.

When you hear the Acoustimass 3 Series IV system, you'll be surprised that such a huge sound can come from such small speakers. These Virtually Invisible speakers are the definitive answer to the question of how to combine spacious sound with space-saving design. It's all the result of Bose's years of intense research and testing.

The tiny cube speakers can be wall-mounted or displayed on speaker stands using the optional Bose UFS-20 universal floor stands, UTS-20 universal table stand, or UB-20 wall/ceiling bracket. Now or in the future, you can turn your Acoustimass stereo speakers into a home theater set by simply adding the compatible Bose VCS-10 center-channel speaker. For full 5-speaker surround sound, add the VCS-30 center/surround speaker package.

The system's four 20-foot lengths of speaker wire should accommodate most living rooms. For longer cable runs, however, Bose recommends using 2-conductor, 18-gauge wire (30 feet), 16-gauge wire (45 feet), or 14-gauge wire (70 feet), for a hookup that maintains a maximum frequency-response deviation of +/- 0.5 dB. (Cable thickness increases as gauge decreases.)

What's in the Box
Two cube speakers, 1 powered Acoustimass module, 4 lengths of speaker wire (20 feet each), 4 adhesive rubber feet, and a user's manual with warranty/registration information

Product Description:
The Acoustimass® 3 speaker system delivers the ear-pleasing low tones of a bassoonor the deep, dramatic effects of movies. The Acoustimass module produces these notes without audible distortion and can be hidden behind furniture. Rich, full music and movie sound appear to come from the small cube speakers, rather than from the module, hidden out of view. Remarkable richness and clarity emanate from the two Virtually Invisible® cube speakers. Music from your existing stereo equipment sounds natural and true. These diminutive speakers can be wall mounted or displayed on speaker stands with our line of accessory mounting options. And the Acoustimass 3 speaker system easily handles more than music. Connect this speaker system to the rear channel outputs of your home theater equipment, and enjoy the same superb sound quality from your movies as you do your music.

  • The Acoustimass Module uses one 5.25 ported bass driver that accurately delivers lower frequencies with dimensional depth (without the annoying rumble associated with lesser speakers)
  • The result, when connected to your stereo system, is unbounded realism and distinctive stereo reproduction that is totally faithful to the original recording
  • The Acoustimass Module is compact and fits virtually anywhere in your room while the Satellite speakers are so compact they're barely noticeable
  • Sound is heard and not seen -- the overall experience is pure ecstacy!

4 out of 5 stars Sounds Good.......2007-06-07

These speakers are made to replace bad TV speakers, but an amplifier is required. Wouild not recommend for the main movie watching for your home for the subwoofer is not separate from the two smaller speakers.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing sound at an oustanding value!.......2007-03-29

I purchased the AM3's for my kitchen. I have the cubes hanging under my cabinets (using Vantage Point mounts) and the passive subwoofer on top of my cabinets, laying on its' side. I am using the Amphony 1520 5.8GHz digital wireless amplifier [...] since my wiring options are extremely limited.

The sound quality coming from these little miracles is nothing short of amazing. Acoustic songs sound live. It's like having a band in my kitchen at the touch of a button. The Acoustimass Module provides smooth lows to give full bodied sound. Placement of the Acoustimass Module is critical to achieve deep, low frequency results. The closer to a corner of a room you place the Module, the better bass response. Additionally, since my Module is placed on top of maple cabinets, I have it resting on a bathroom rug to absorb unwanted vibration.

I have never been disappointed by a Bose product and am a loyal customer. If you are looking to spend a couple hundred bucks on speakers, look no further. You will not find higher quality for this price.

5 out of 5 stars great sound at a great price.......2007-01-10

Quality product with great sound; for two little speakers. Spread out sound well in a large room. I enjoy this product so much that I bought two.

4 out of 5 stars The true joy comes from the cubes...not the subwoofer.......2007-01-01

I origianlly thought this was an excellent offer. Two rear Bose speakers with a sub woofer. The setup was simple and the sound from the cubes was unmistakable. What was lacking was coming from the subwoofer. This is not a true subwoofer since it's power is derived from the the two rear speakers. When you are trying to get enough bass you can hardly hear a rumble. This caused me to go out and spend a bit more on a good subwoofer. The cube speakers are well worth it and give more than average sound. I just wasn't happy with the complete package.

5 out of 5 stars Great, robust little system.......2006-10-20

I am always amazing at the amount of flaming that Bose products seem to instigate on message boards. Clearly, people buy the stuff and so perhaps it is just that web noise.

I have had a set of AM-3s for 11 years. I originally bought them for a rehearsal area where space was tight and I wanted something I could put on the wall, but I got more than I bargained for. As you might guess, I am a musician.

I have been using these in my main parlor/music room area now for 6 years and I am always pleased. They produce a remarkably full sound that is clear and emotional, and they occupy virtually no space. Instruments and voices are rendered with admirable neutrality, and music of all types and time periods sounds just plain good. They can play at surprisingly high volumes without complaint connected to my 150 watt Pioneer receiver.

My only beefs: The single cubes are a bit directional at high frequencies, but not overly so (the bigger double-cube AM-5s solve that). Bass is full down to about 60hz and falls off sharply below that. However, I cannot think of another $200 set of speakers that is so musically satisfying overall. I recommended them to my friends who almost always turn their heads and say, "That sounds great. Where are the speakers?"

11 years and no problems. That speaks for itself. For $200 the AM-3 just can't be beat.
