Bose

901

Series VI speakers and Series VI active equalizer work with your stereo

components to produce a superb music system. The active equalizer is an integral part

of the system and may be connected in a variety of ways, depending on the components

you have. The two most common methods are described in this guide. Using different

components may require different connection methods. More information is available by

calling Bose Corporation. Ask for the free booklet, Guide to Optional System Connections

for Bose 901 Direct/Reﬂecting

Speaker Systems, part number 149393.

Your 901 speakers are designed to work compatibly with receivers or ampliﬁers rated from

10 to 450 watts per channel. In this guide, the term receiver is used to refer to an integrated

preampliﬁer and power ampliﬁer (which may also contain an AM/FM tuner). The term

ampliﬁer is used to describe conﬁgurations involving separate preampliﬁer and ampliﬁer

components.

Most receivers have a TAPE MONITOR connection. The 901 active equalizer is most

commonly connected to the tape monitor connections on the receiver. If you plan to

connect a tape recorder, use the set of inputs and outputs located on the back of the 901

active equalizer marked TAPE RECORDER CONNECTIONS.

If you have recently purchased a home theater receiver, you may be considering using

your 901 speakers for the front channels. Your home theater receiver must have accessible

PRE AMP OUT/MAIN AMP IN connections for the front channels if you are to use your 901

speakers in this way. These may also be called the ADAPTER or SIGNAL PROCESSOR

connections.

Installation steps

Follow these steps, in the order below, to install your 901 Series VI speaker system.

1. Choose the best locations and support for the 901 speakers (page 6).

2. Connect the speakers to the ampliﬁer or receiver (page 8).

3. Connect the 901 active equalizer to the ampliﬁer or receiver using either the TAPE

MONITOR or PRE AMP OUT/MAIN AMP IN connections (page 9).

izer (page 12).
