Bose/Surround Speakers 700
Today I completed my Bose system with Surround Speakers 700 that I added to Smart Soundbar 900 (Dolby Atmos) + Bass module 700.
I also bought the original OmniJewel Bose floor stand. The two speakers are really small and elegants. Like the stands, Soundbar and Bass module are also covered by an elegant clear glass.
Installation
Assembly was quite simple, packaging is state of the art, mini Bose screwdriver supplied is nice. They’re wireless and you just need to plug the speakers into the power outlet and add them to the Bose Music app
Bass Module 700 is also wireless but I use it with the Bose cable to avoid all sorts of problems and given the proximity to the soundbar.
On Amazon Prime Video I had not yet been able to play Dolby Atmos content, Bose Music app was always detecting Dolby Digital 5.1.
I subscribed to Netflix and for me it really is superior to Prime.
Dolby Atmos
After several hours on Reddit I was going crazy with ARC, eARC, PCM Pass throw configurations etc… so i wrote to LG Support who incredibly answered me in a few minutes with a lot of attached screenshots.
After some tests I verified that Atmos tracks most of the time are only for the original language and for the first time I was able to test Atmos.
First I rerun the ADAPTiQ® test on the new configuration, which froze after a few seconds, fixed by removing the power supply to the system for some minutes by resetting everything.
I watched Squid Game by first selecting the Atmos soundtrack and leaving all levels at zero. The effect is truly remarkable, always very balanced even at low volume.
At certain moments background audio sounded to come from the neighbors’ apartment or from far behind on side, or making me think there was actually someone other in room, this thing really impressed me.
I had never tried the Bose Surround Speakers, I had read conflicting opinions but I am satisfied.
I didn’t really want to make a complete unboxing video but I only took some short videos and photos…
Bonjour merci pour c’est info j’ai la même configuration matérielle Bose avec un tv LGoledC4 et j’avoue que je suis pommé dans les réglages j’aurais besoin d’aide je sais pas si j’ai bien câblé je suis passé en câble optique mais je suis pas sur que ça soit la bonne option si vous avez deux minutes 😁
This is a small update:
Things have improved with the latest TV update.
Before, if I went to audio TV to Soundbar from TV audio settings, after 20 minutes the TV switch off, now no longer.
If you pass from audio TV to audio Bose for some reason that I ignore, they do not start subwoofer & surround speakers. It is always necessary to turn everything off from Bose remote control and restart again.
If you have an Arc HDMI cable and you have set the Arc mode in the HDMI advanced settings, the Bose remote control will also turn on and turn off the TV. The TV remote control will also be useful to raise and lower the volume of the soundbar in this mode.
I connected the subwoofer with the Bose cable (not optical) only because initially I seemed to have problems and was confused, but it is not a fundamental thing, and the soundbar with an Arc HDMI cable.
We need to set the Arc HDMI mode and the Audio Through pass, these are the two advanced fundamental HDMI settings, the others to what I understand are useful if you have a Soundbar LG.
