GETTING STARTED
Before you begin
Thank you for choosing Bose® Companion® 2Series II multimedia
speaker system. Unique features and Bose technologies make these
speakers asuperior choice for upgrading your computer audio. They
also provide rich, full stereo sound from asecond source, like aportable
MP3 or CD player.
Benefits of your Companion 2speakers:
•
TrueSpace™ stereo signal processing circuitry adds spaciousness.
•Ported cabinet design provides clear, deep musical tones.
•Sleek design blends
in with contemporary office decor.
Unpacking the carton
Carefully unpack your speakers and save all of the packing materials,
which provide the safest means for shipping or transporting.
If any part appears damaged,
do not attempt to use it (Figure 1). Notify
your authorized Bose dealer immediately.
Or, to contact Bose directly,
refer to the address sheet included
in the carton.
A. WARNING: To avoiddanger of suffocation, keep the plasticbags that wrap

SETTING UP
Choosing aspeaker location
The angled design of these speakers allows them to direct sound
upward toward aseated listener. So placing them on a desktop is a
good choice. Magnetic shielding protects your computer monitor from
interference
w.hen the speakers are positioned close to it.
Place the speaker
that has avolume control knob on the front within
easy reach
to the right of your computer. Place the oth~r speaker on the
left (Figure
2).
) Note: LEFT and RIGHTlabels on the back of the two speakers can serve
as aplacementaid.
Figure 2

You may prefer placing the RIGHT speaker on your left to more easily
reach
the volume control and the headphone jack.
This does no harm, although it changes
how you hear the left and right
stereo sound. For an accurate sound stage,
the music recorded from
stage left during alive performance
comes from the left speaker. Chang-
ing the placement of LEFT and RIGHT speakers alters that effect.
Connecting the speakers
Aspeaker cable is attached to the rear of the LEFT speaker. Insert the
free end
of this cable into the jack marked TO LEFT SPEAKER on the
back of the RIGHT speaker (Figure 3on page 8).

Making the sound source connections
Your Companion® 2speakers can provide sound from two audio sources
simultaneously. This allows you
to listen to music from an MP3 or CD
player and still hear the alert tones from your computer.
Connecting to your computer
Two audio input cables are supplied with the speakers.
•Use the cable that has astereo mini plug on one end ifyour computer
has astereo mini audio
in jack. Insert the mini plug into the jack.
•Use the cable that has RCA plugs on each end if your computer has
RCA audio
in jacks. Insert the plugs at one end of this cable into the
jacks on the computer, matching red
to red and white to white.
Two pairs of jacks on the back of the RIGHT speaker are labeled
AUDIO
INPUT. Each pair includes awhite jack marked Labove a red jack
marked R(Figure 4
on page 9).
•Use the free end of the audio input cable to connect to one pair of the
AUDIO INPUT jacks.
1. Insert the white RCA plug into the white
jack labeled L.
2. Insert the red RCA plug into the red jack labeled R.

Or, if the other (unused) cable supplied with the
speakers works with your source, you may use it.
•Connect the RCA plugs on one end
of the cable to the unused AUDIO
INPUT jacks on the back of the RIGHT speaker (Figure
6).
1. Insert the white RCA plug into the white jack labeled L.
2. Insert the red RCA plug into the red jack labeled R.

USING THE SPEAKERS
Enjoying the sound
Before using your Companion® 2speakers, make sure your computer
and other sound source are plugged
in and turned on.
Controlling the volume
You can raise or lower the volume of the speakers or aconnected head-
phone by turning the knob on the front
of the RIGHT speaker (Figure 8).
Figure B
Speaker
volume knob
Volume control
To control your sound sources independently:
•Use your computer volume control, which may include
an external
control as well as one on screen.
sUse the volume control on the second sound source.
To avoid constant adjustments, balance the volume levels:
1.
On your computer and other sound source, set the volume so the
two are roughly equal in output. Make it about two-thirds the
maximum volume on each.
2. Use the knob on the RIGHT speaker to adjust the volume as you
listen. Turn it right
to raise and left to lower the volume (Figure 8).
Asecond option may be more convenient:
1. Turn the volume knob on the RIGHT speaker completely to the right
·for maximum volume.
2. Use the volume control on each sound source (computer or player)
to adjust the volume as you listen.
11

USING THE SPEAKERS
Cleaning the speakers
Wipe the speakers using asoft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents,
chemicals,
or sprays. Lightly vacuum the grilles as needed.
A. CAUTION: 00 not allow liquids to spill or objects to drop into any
openings.

What you can do
• Make sure the sound source is plugged in and turned on,
it is not on mute, and the volume
is turned up.
• Make sure headphones are not plugged into the RIGHT
speaker.
•Be sure the power pack is securely plugged into the RIGHT
speaker and into the AC (mains) outlet.
•
M~ke sure the speakers are connected properly and all connectors
are inserted firmly.
•Check the sound source. If it
is mono (has one channel only),
you need amono-to-stereo adapter
to send the sound to both
speakers.
To request an adapter, contact Bose® Customer Service.
Refer to the address sheet included
in the carton.
•Decrease the volume
of the sound source affected, and
increase the volume on the speakers.
•Decrease the volume level on your speakers, and increase the
level on each sound source
to your preferred volume.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
We take great pride in designing each of our products with the goal of providing the high-
est accuracy musical performance possible in the price range
of that product. We strive to
reproduce the musical sounds as closely as possible to those
of the original performance.
And we strive to avoid flashy sounds such
as those associated with accentuated bass
and/or treble frequencies. While those sounds may be initially attractive to the novice,
they are not real and are not enduring.
In addition, we use only the highest quality parts
and the latest assembly and quality control techniques to ensure the reliability and long
life
of our products.
Our reputation rests on our steadfast pursuit
of this policy in sound systems for the home,
the automobile, and businesses.
At Bose® we reinvest 100% of our earnings back into the company. This enables us to
support research that continually gives rise to new technologies for improving sound
reproduction.
When you purchase any product from Bose, we encourage you to compare it, as we do, to
competitive products for musical accuracy.
We believe that this process will enhance your
appreciation of the product you select.
With best wishes from all
of us at Bose for many years of enjoyable listening.
