Hi @Liam_W ,    Thank you very much again for your email (espercially the pictures). These help a lot. So Bose sb700 could use glass partition to bounce off the sound.    So while we would watch cable TV/other things  while sitting in the dining room (not worried about full surround at this point as the 5.1 is not being output from the source), we plan to watch movies sitting in the living room with the partition up. Hence plan to calibrate the system with partition up.    With ref. to the "partition up" picture, I was planning to put the base module on the left side of the TV and bar (like shown in the partition down picutre)  thinking it could use the (corner created by putting the prtition up) to create more bass and 'surround speaker 2' right next to the sitting position 3 rather than slightly away from sitting position 3 as it would leave the power cable open on the floor. Are these any better solution?   Finally, is Bass Module 700 the same as the bass module in life style 650 with different name?    Thanks in advance.    Regards, Raiden ... View more

Hi @Liam_W ,    Many thanks for your excellent reply. Just for clarification, The glasses are 10 mm thick and the glass partitions can be adjusted i.e., folded away to the sides (to make the room 1 or could be closed to isolate the living room from the dining room). The seating position (2/3) are 9 feel away (directly opposite of the SB700) and living room is 14 feet wide (without the passage).I am not worried about being able to hear the most well calibrated sound in the dining room. Mostly seating positions 1/2/3 (in your reply) will be used for watching movies/listening to songs etc. Also omni jewel surrounds (when purchased) will be put behind seating position 2 and 3 (in your picture).    The objective is to ensure that the main seating positions (1/2/3)  hear the best sound when calibrated (usually the partitions are used to isolate the room when watching movies).   I intend to isolate the room putting glass partitions in place .as you have suggested. Now the questions are:    1. Do you suggest I separate the rooms (living and dining) using the  glass (10mm thick) partitions and run adaptIQ (as the objective is to ensure seating positions 1/2/3/4 hear the best possible sound)? Main worry being whether SB700 will be able to use 10mm thick glass partitions enough for reflecting the sound like concrete wall?   2. As can be seen from the picture in the earlier email, slight tilting the SB700 before calibration and running AdaptIQ does not seem to be able to help due to the seating positions angles (the left side can use glass partitions to reflect sound but not sure what will happen to the right side). After calibration, should we move the SB700 back to normal positions? Could you somehow show as to how to tilt to ensure the right side of SB700 can reflect sound off the wall for seating positions 1/2/3?    3. Is it possible to fold away the glass partition while calibrating for seating position 5 making the room a single room? Or glass partitions should be in place throughout the calibration?   4. What is the minimum distance of each position for adaptIQ calibration., What if I dont have enough room between the seating positions?   Kind regards, Raiden              ... View more

Hi Charlotte,    Many thanks for your reply. I helps a lot. What are the power consumptions for BM700 and bose  surround 700?   Regards, Raiden ... View more

Hi Charlotte,    Thanks for your reply. Reading from the forum and various you tube videos, I understand Bose bounces sound off the wall. What if there is no wall straight right and left of the SB 700. As you can see in the picture I have an open plan living room which could be isolated from the dining using the glass partitions. My question is will bose be able to bounce sound off the glass doors/partitions? Black lines denote solid walls, orange lines denote glass partitions/doors and numbers indicate main (1 and 2)  sitting positions (in an L shaped sofa-in blue here). Are these AdaptIQ positions alright? Should I tilt the soundbar (to be placed on the entertainment cabinet underneath the wall hung 65" TV) during adapt IQ calibration to ensure that there is a straight line between the left ands right sides of the bar and the solid wall for best possible sound?     ...

Hi I am planning to use the Bose 700 Soundbar in Bangladesh. I have heard that Google assistant/Alexa is region locked. When do you think we will be use google assistant here in Bangladesh?   Thanks, Raiden ... View more

Hi Bose....I am in the same boat....could you answer that?   If not, do you have any firmware update to fix the set up issues associated with SB700...these fend off new bose adopters...(coming from B&W 5.1 surround system+denon amp)..... ... View more
