Surround sound receivers for
Bose® 901® Direct/Reflecting® speaker system
The Bose 901 active equalizer is an integral part of the 901 Direct/Reflecting speaker system
allowing for proper performance and sound. Over the past several years, manufacturers of
receivers have made fewer products compatible with external equalizers — including the Bose 901
equalizer.
To connect the 901 equalizer, a compatible receiver must have both preamp in and preamp out
jacks. Alternatively, a separate preamplifier can be used in conjunction with a power amplifier to
connect the equalizer.
The following pages describe connecting the 901 equalizer with compatible components:

Using a preamplifier and power amplifier
A preamplifier can be used in conjunction with a power amplifier to connect to the 901
equalizer. The connection diagram below shows the most common connections for this type
of setup

 Using a receiver with preamp out and preamp in connections
Compatible receivers should have “Preamp Out / Main Out” and “Preamp In / Main In”
jacks. The 901 equalizer can be connected as diagrammed below
Note: If you are using 901 speakers with a surround sound system, the 901 equalizer
signal must be directed to the 901 speakers only. The boost of the 901 equalizer may
damage another brand of speaker. If you are using a self-contained surround sound
receiver, the receiver must have a section marked "Preamp Out/Amp In" or "Adaptor
Circuit" on the back panel. The "Preamp Out/Amp In" or "Adaptor Circuit" jacks are
connected to each other by little silver connecting bars (horseshoe pins). If your receiver
has this section, you can remove the pins and connect the "Preamp Out" to the "Input" of
the Bose equalizer (under Amplifier Connections), and the "Output" of the equalizer (under
Amplifier Connections) to the "Amp/Adaptor In."
In this configuration, the tape circuit of the equalizer will not be utilized. In some cases,
connecting the equalizer in this section may introduce a little background noise, which is
due to noise generated by the preamp and boosted by the equalizer. This was a problem
with some older electronic equipment. Newer equipment, however, generates very little
noise, so using the preamp circuit should not be a problem. If your receiver does not have
the "Preamp Out/Amp In" or "Adaptor" circuit, the 901 speakers will not be compatible for
surround sound use; but the conventional stereo mode will operate as normal.
