Thank you for purchasing the Bose
the best in Bose Corporation speaker design and engineering and will give you many years of
listening pleasure.
The installation and operating principles of this system are significantly different from those of
conventional speakers. To obtain the best possible performance and avoid problems, please
take the time to read this guide.
CAUTION: You must have a Bose 901 active equalizer for a complete 901 speaker system. The
use of 901 Series VI speakers without the 901 Series VI active equalizer will result in improper per-
formance. The use of graphic or parametric equalizers, instead of the Bose 901 equalizer, will result
in unsatisfactory performance.
Conventional graphic and parametric equalizers may be used in addition to, but not in place
of the Bose 901 active equalizer. However, the use of such additional equalizers is not recom-
mended since it will not improve system performance. For adequate performance you must
use the 901 Series VI active equalizer with these speakers.
A complete Bose 901 Series VI speaker system consists of three matched components: two
901 Direct/Reflecting speakers and a separate 901 Series VI active equalizer. Two cables are
®
included to connect the active equalizer to your receiver or amplifier. The 901 speakers and
equalizer are packed in three separate cartons. Carefully unpack your system, saving all pack-
ing materials for possible future use.
Inspect the speakers and equalizer. If any part appears damaged, do not attempt to use the
system. Repack the speakers and equalizer in their original cartons and notify your authorized
Bose dealer immediately.
Note: Now is a good time to record the serial numbers of each speaker and the active equalizer.
Please write them on your warranty card and in the spaces provided on page 2. The serial num-
bers are located on the bottom of the 901 speakers and on the back of the equalizer.
WARNING: Each speaker carton weighs over 35 lb (16 kg). Use good lifting practice to avoid
injury.
WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags out of the reach of children.
