Bose 901 V

Description[edit]

The Bose 901 was introduced in 1968.
With the audio CD came the BOSE 901 Series V equalizer: it has a dynamic range of 106 db compared to the 85 db of the previous III and IV series. Even if only a - let's say - theoretical value - BOSE preferred to play it safe.

Housing
The housing was now completely closed: were in the series III and IV the veneered chipboard still sides, bottoms and lids of the chambers, are now the chambers of the Acoustic Matrix® completely closed. Visually, this is expressed by the aluminum cheeks on each 901 Series V.

Chassis
During the construction period of the Series V, the basket of the HVC driver ("Helical Voice Coil", compare Series III) was slightly revised. It now has a circumferential groove and thus represents the form available today.
