## History

In 2001, Bose released the first version of its DVD/CD-based *Lifestyle* systems using the AV28 media center. The systems were the Lifestyle 18, 28, and 35. The difference between the systems was the speakers that they came with, the 18 with directional single cube speakers, the 28 with direct/reflect speakers, and the 35 with "Jewel Cubes".

### Zone 2

*Main article: Zone 2*

This system can direct sound from one or two sound sources (such as CD, AM/FM tuner, TAPE, or AUX) to two different listening zones at the same time. Each listening area, whether a room or a group of rooms (including outdoor areas), is called a zone. Your primary listening area is set up as zone 1. A second RF remote control is needed to operate the zone 2 sound.

### AdaptIQ

*Main article: AdaptIQ*

The key feature of the system is the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system, which allows for the system to adapt to the owner's personal living room environment. The system plays tones through each speaker and listens with a microphone headset worn by the user, and based on what it "hears", the media center will calibrate and equalize each speaker to compensate for any acoustic abnormalities in the room. In this manner, any *Lifestyle* system will sound the same in any living room as the professional demonstration.
