Operating a Multi-Room Lifestyle® 40 Music System

Using the HOUSE button

The HOUSE button lets you control all connected rooms as if they were one. When you press the HOUSE button, an empty box indicator is displayed for each connected room. Any button pressed after that (any source button, VOLUME, MUTE, or SLEEP) affects every room. When you are done listening you can press OFF to turn off the entire system.

Note: If you do not press any additional buttons after pressing HOUSE, pressing HOUSE again cancels HOUSE mode.

Press the HOUSE button before each command to apply that command to all rooms:

Press …

To do this …

HOUSE then a source

Play the selected source in all connected rooms.

HOUSE then VOLUME ▲/▼ Adjust the volume up or down by the same amount in all

 

rooms that are on, or all connected rooms if they are all off.

 

The system remembers the differences among the original

 

room volume settings.

HOUSE then MUTE

Silence all connected rooms that are on, even if any were

 

previously muted individually. To cancel this command, press

 

HOUSE then MUTE again. Any rooms that were muted before

 

this command was given stay silent until individually unmuted.

 

If you unmute an individual room after it was muted by a

 

HOUSE - MUTE command, the other rooms remain silent until

 

each one is unmuted individually. Pressing HOUSE then

 

VOLUME ▲unmutes all muted rooms.

HOUSE then SLEEP

Set the SLEEP timer for all rooms that are on. The SLEEP time

 

selected applies to all rooms that are on even if they are

 

playing different sources. If the SLEEP timer was already set

 

in one or more rooms, the display shows the longest time

 

already set. You can accept this time or change it for all the

 

rooms. To cancel the HOUSE - SLEEP command, press

 

HOUSE, SLEEP, CLEAR, and then DONE.

HOUSE then OFF

Turn off the entire system.

Note: Instead of setting one sleep time for the entire house, you can set different sleep times for individual rooms by using the ROOM button to select each room and setting SLEEP.

When two or mor e rooms are controlled as one, adjusting the SLEEP time affects all rooms (indicated by boxed letters).

Using more than one Personal™ music center

If you have a multi-room system, you can add additional music centers in some or all of the connected rooms. Each multi-room interface can be controlled by a maximum of four music centers. Each music center can control up to four rooms.

To add a new music center to your system, follow the setup instructions on page 13. Be sure to install the batteries and turn it on for the first time close to the multi-room interface to allow the new music center to set up a radio frequency link with your system. If the multi-room interface is not plugged in or the music center is out of range, the display indicates NO RESPONSE.

40 specifications

The Bose 40 is an exceptional headphone model that offers an immersive audio experience, catering to audiophiles and casual listeners alike. Known for its remarkable sound quality, the Bose 40 incorporates advanced engineering and innovative technologies to deliver rich, balanced audio.

One of its standout features is the Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology. This system uses microphones inside and outside the ear cups to detect ambient noise, effectively cancelling it out for a serene listening environment. Whether you are commuting, traveling, or simply enjoying music at home, the ANC capability ensures you remain undisturbed by outside distractions.

The Bose 40 headphones also feature a proprietary TriPort Acoustic headphone structure, which enhances low-frequency performance without compromising mids or highs. This design ensures that users enjoy a full spectrum of sound, making every listening session a pleasure. The combination of dynamic drivers and a precise acoustic port embedded within the ear cups results in a sound that is both powerful and precise.

Comfort is a critical aspect of the Bose 40 design. The ear cups are crafted from soft materials that provide a snug fit, allowing for extended listening without discomfort. Additionally, the headband is carefully designed with cushioning, making these headphones suitable for prolonged use whether for work or leisure.

With Bluetooth connectivity, the Bose 40 headphones support seamless pairing with a wide array of devices, from smartphones to tablets and laptops. The headphone comes equipped with voice assistant integration, allowing quick access to Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa. Users also appreciate the intuitive touch controls located on the ear cups, making it easy to play, pause, or skip tracks without needing to retrieve devices.

Battery life is another crucial feature, with the Bose 40 offering up to 20 hours of playback on a single charge. Rapid charging capabilities ensure that users can enjoy up to 3.5 hours of playtime with just a 15-minute charge, making it an excellent companion for on-the-go lifestyles.

In terms of build quality, the Bose 40 is sturdy yet lightweight, making it easy to carry around. The foldable design is perfect for travel, fitting neatly into protective carrying cases.

All these features come together to make the Bose 40 a leading choice in the headphone market, appealing to listeners who seek top-tier audio quality combined with comfort, modern technology, and longevity.
