What comes in the three cartons:

• One 901 active equalizer

• Two equalizer cables

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.
