Bose 3*2*1 GS Series II Silver Home Theater In-a-Box
Manufacturer's Description
Features our smallest, most powerful 3·2·1 system speakers - Gemstone(TM) speaker arrays - and a hideaway Acoustimass(R) module to deliver much of the home theater experience that other systems use five speakers to create. The speakers are available in Silver color to match the latest Plasma and LCD televisions.
New, enhanced performance makes movies, music and TV come to life. And the newly redesigned, sleek media center includes a DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and inputs for three additional sources. The 3·2·1 GS Series II system now has even greater ease of use and setup. The 3·2·1 GSSeries II system is for customers who want the benefit of home theater sound but would prefer the simplicity of two visible speakers, a hideaway Acoustimass(R) module and fewer wires so they don`t need to run wires to the back of their room.
Two speakers (instead of five) and a hideaway Acoustimass(R) module: deliver much of the home theater experience that other systems use five speakers to create.
The 3·2·1 GS Series II system`s speakers are half the size of our original 3·2·1 system, and they blend easily into your room. They`re available in Silver color to match similarly colored Plasma and LCD televisions.
Home theater with fewer wires: makes enjoying movies at home easy. Without the need for rear speakers and wires running to the back of your room.
Sleek media center puts sources in one compact package: the new, more elegant media center houses the sources for a complete home entertainment experience (DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and inputs for three additional sources).
Simple to set up, simple to use: with just 3 wires and 2 visible speakers (and a hideaway Acoustimass(R) module) this 1 easy system incorporates a setup disc that helps you through a step-by-step installation process.
A new universal IR remote lets you control your system and most attached devices.
Inside each Gemstone(TM) speaker array are two powerful neodymium iron boron magnets that give these small speakers the force to produce rich, full sound that brings movies, TV and music to life.
The Acoustimass(R) module delivers low notes and can be hidden almost anywhere in the room, while all the sound seems to come from an expansive soundstage.
