These are full-range speakers, but are only loaded with 4 1/2″ high-excursion drivers whereas a normal speaker might have an 8″, 10″ or 12″ (or even multiple!) subwoofers, a midrange, and a tweeter. When you think about the speaker design, the equalizer makes a lot of sense. Designed to be placed in corners of rooms, the Direct/Reflecting design produces a ridiculously wide, lifelike sound field which packs more of a punch than you might think from speakers that size. About 11% of the sound is radiated from the single front-mounted speaker, and the remaining 89% of the sound is radiated from the back. There’s no crossovers or other passive components inside – just a bunch of individual speakers wired together to give the right impedance. Each contains a set of nine, 4 1/2″ full range drivers wired in series-parallel. Thanks for writing, Jim! Can you use that Kenwood graphic equalizer in place of the bose? Short answer: It’s not recommended.īose used a really interesting design concept for their 901 speakers. Can I use that instead? Is the Bose equalizer really that important? Somewhere along the way the equalizer got lost, but I have an old Kenwood equalizer. I bought a set of Bose 901 Series II speakers on base back in the ’70s, and have had them in storage for the past 20 years. I’ve got this one a few times lately, though, so I figured I’d answer this one publicly. I take questions from readers often, but they don’t always make it to a Mailbag segment.
