Model 301
NEW. INNOVATIVE. BOSE.
The first Direct/ Reflecting bookshelf loudspeaker
The Bose Model 301. The first and only system to offer the spaciousness and
clarity of a Direct/Reflecting loudspeaker with the convenience and beauty
of a bookshelf enclosure.
Speaker design and performance from the same engineering that produced the internationally famous Bose 901e and 501 speaker systems.
The Bose Model 301 began as a unique engineering challenge: create a small, low cost Direct/Reflecting loudspeaker with maximum flexibility of placement and truly exceptional sound. The end result incorporates three significant developments not available in any conventional speaker:
Asymmetrical Design: each Model 301 radiates a different spatial pattern to the left and right side of the room, providing stereo reproduction that expands beyond the spacing of the speakers. Consequently, each speaker of a stereo pair is constructed as a mirror image of the other.
A Direct Energy Control: a control located at the top of the cabinet allows you to select the proportion of direct to reflected sound at high frequencies to produce the optimum spatial characteristics for your particular room.
A Dual Frequency Crossover Network: a new approach to crossover design separates transition frequencies of the woofer and tweeter to provide an overlap in frequency response of over one octave. This technique minimizes localization of sound to the woofer or tweeter alone, and produces unusually smooth response through the middle frequencies.
Each of these developments solves a particular problem associated with designing a small, low cost Direct/Reflecting loudspeaker. Now you can enjoy the "sense of presence" that only a Direct/Reflecting speaker can offer. Stereo reproduction that expands beyond the spacing of your speakers to accurately place the sound of instruments across the entire breadth of your listening room.
The new Bose Model 301 Direct/Reflecting Loudspeaker.
A sound quality that you will find extraordinary from so compact a speaker and at so low a price.
