Bose’s first soundbar solutions offer audio performance and placement flexibility to deliver home theatre sound from a single speaker array, and a new wireless Acoustimass module
“Most conventional soundbars are bulky and hard-to-place, or thin but unable to deliver life-like sound,” said Dr. Michael Tien, CEO of Atlas Sound & Vision.
“The new Lifestyle 135 and CineMate 1 SR systems deliver a powerful audio experience that defies their size and elegant design – whether you’re watching a movie, playing a video game, or listening to music.”
The Lifestyle 135 system includes a media console for up to six HD sources (four HDMI inputs), an AM/FM tuner, and a dock for iPod or iPhone.
Featuring the proprietary Bose Unify intelligent integration system, the media console acts as a central hub and makes connecting devices to the console hassle-free.
The CineMate 1 SR system attaches directly to a TV with just one cable – simple and easy.
Both soundbar set-ups feature a programmable remote that controls the system and nearly any connected source, be it a Blu-ray Disc player or a cable box.
PhaseGuide Technology:
Immersive Sound From One Visible Speaker
The Lifestyle 135 system and CineMate 1 SRsystem are the first Bose speakers to feature the advanced PhaseGuide sound radiator technology.

This technology was originally used in the company’s VideoWave entertainment system – Bose’s high-definition television that integrates a complete home theatre sound system behind a 46” 1080p LCD display.
Combined with proprietary TrueSpace digital processing circuitry, PhaseGuide technology transforms the listening experience.
Discrete sound seem to emanate from places where there are no speakers, and it comes from a single array that measures just 2.4″ deep, 36.8″ wide and 4.9″ high.
The new Acoustimass module delivers low notes with cinematic impact.
Smaller than previous Bose Acoustimass modules, its wireless link allows it to be hidden, completely out of sight.
Soundbar Setup:
Horizontal, Vertical, Anywhere in the Room
Unlike conventional soundbars, the Lifestyle 135 and CineMate 1 SR systems have true placement flexibility: they can be positioned near the TV, wherever it is, and in two orientations – without compromising audio performance.
The Bose FlexMount automatic placement compensation senses whether the speaker has been placed horizontally on a table, or mounted vertically on a wall.
It automatically adjusts the sound, offering owners two choices for soundbar setup with the same assurance of spacious, natural sound.
Bose ADAPTiQ audio calibration technology offers another performance assurance: the system will deliver optimal sound in any room.
It first recognises where the system is located, then compensates for how the acoustics of the space affect its audio quality.
The sound is then customised based on the room’s unique size, shape, even furnishings.
