GETTING STARTED
Building your entertainment system
The Acoustimass® 300 wireless bass module is part of a modular home entertainment
system. It is compatible with the SoundTouch® 300 soundbar and optional Virtually
Invisible® 300 wireless surround speakers (not provided). You can wirelessly pair the
surround speakers or a second bass module at any time for even richer, more immersive
sound.
To purchase the surround speakers, contact your local Bose® dealer or visit
www.Bose.com
Unpacking
Carefully unpack the carton and confirm that the following parts are included:
Skipper_OG_UNPACK_Skipper
Acoustimass® 300 wireless bass module Power cord*
*May ship with multiple power cords. Use the power cord for your region.
Note: If any part is damaged or if the glass on the bass module is broken, do not use it.
Contact your authorized Bose® dealer or Bose customer service.
ENGLISH - 9
GETTING STARTED
Placement guidelines
To avoid wireless interference, keep other wireless equipment 1 – 3 ft. (0.3 – 0.9 m)
away from the system. Place the system outside of and away from metal cabinets, other
audio/video components and direct heat sources.
Stand the bass module on its rubber feet along the same wall as your TV, or along any
other wall in the front third of the room.
Choose a stable and level surface. Vibration can cause the bass module to move,
particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass or highly polished wood.
Keep the front side of the bass module (the side opposite the POWER connector) at
least 3 in. (7.6 cm) from any other surface. Blocking the port on the bottom of this
side aects acoustic performance.
For more bass, place the bass module close to walls and corners. For less bass, place
the bass module away from walls and corners.
Do NOT place any objects on top of the bass module.
Make sure there is an AC (mains) outlet nearby.
Sample system placement
CAUTION: Do not place the bass module on its top or sides when in use.

audio calibration
After setting up your bass module and pairing with a SoundTouch® 300 soundbar, run
ADAPTiQ® audio calibration for best acoustic performance. ADAPTiQ audio calibration
customizes the sound of the system to the acoustics of your listening area by taking five
audio measurements. To run an audio calibration, you need 10 minutes when the room
is quiet.
During ADAPTiQ audio calibration, a microphone on the top of the ADAPTiQ headset
(provided with the soundbar) measures the sound characteristics of your room to
determine optimal sound quality.
If you no longer have the ADAPTiQ headset, contact Bose® customer service for a
replacement.
Note: If you are also pairing Virtually Invisible® 300 wireless surround speakers with
the soundbar, pair the speakers before running ADAPTiQ audio calibration. Refer
to the Virtually Invisible® 300 quick start guide or owner’s guide.
Running ADAPTiQ® audio calibration
1. Insert the ADAPTiQ headset cable (provided with the SoundTouch® 300 soundbar)
into the ADAPTiQ connector on the back of the soundbar.
2. Put the ADAPTiQ headset on your head.

If you hear an error message and are unable to complete ADAPTiQ audio calibration,
see page 24.
6. Unplug the ADAPTiQ headset from the soundbar and store it in a safe place.
If you later pair the surround speakers or a second bass module, move or mount
the system or move any furniture, run ADAPTiQ audio calibration again to ensure
optimal sound quality.
