A New
Direct/Reflecting Speaker of Outstanding performance, High Efficiency, Moderate
Cost and Exceptional Versatility
The Model 601 is a
totally new Direct/Reflecting loudspeaker fromBose. It employs a unique
arrangement of six drivers in each enclosure (four tweeter, two woofers) to
achieve a level of tonal accuracy and spatial realism comparable only to the
world renownedBose 901 Series III.
These peformance
qualities , along with high efficiency, moderate cost, and great versatility of
speaker placement in practically any listening environment, make the Model 601
a loudspeaker of exceptional value.
The result is an
open, spacious sound and feeling of realism which can not be achieved by
conventional speakers with front mounted drivers beaming directly at the
listener. Such conventional designs are aimed almost exclusively at producing
accurate frequency response, while largely ignoring the spatial qualities so
critical to the impact of a live performance. In the Model 601, these important
spatial qualities are accurately reproduced through the careful positioning and
orientation of all six drivers in each speaker enclosure.
The Concept Behind
Bose Direct/Reflecting Speakers
Like the 901 Series
III 9the most advanced development of Bose design concepts and
state-of-the-art. Manufacturing techniques), the Model 601 is a
Direct/Reflecting speaker system . It's designed to reflect the greater part of
its sound output off the back and side walls of the room, surrounding the
listener with the same kind of balance of reflected and direct sound
experienced in a live performance.
The tweeters
Three tweters in
each enclosure provide reflected sound, creating a feeling of spaciousness,
while one tweeter radiates the smaller proportion of direct sound needed for a
strong center image and crisp, sharply defined details.
Two of the tweeters
are also positioned to radiate sound upward through the acoustically
transparent top grille, thus avoiding interference from furniture in the room.
The Woofers
There are two 8-inch
woofers in each Model 601 enclosure, one aimed forward and one angled upward,
to contribute an important component of reflected sound. The use of two smaller
woofers provides a cone area equal to that of a single much larger driver, while
offering importantperformance benefits at low and middle frequencies.
Each high-output
woofer is capable of better dispersion and smoother midrange performance than a
larger woofer, while they work together to provide bass response of exceptional
power and clarity.
Accuracy of Tonal
balance
With all four
tweeters covering the same upper frequency range and the two woofers covering
the same lower range, small response irregularities of individual drivers are
averaged and smoothed in a way that can not be duplicated using single drivers.
Efficiency
The Model 601 is
also a highly efficient speaker that can deliver superior reproduction of all
kinds of music using an amplifier or receiver having as little as 20 watts of
power per channel
Technical
Information
Spatial
Charateristics
Asymetric design for
optimum stereo reproduction utilizing rear and side wall reflections. Two
woofers, one reflecting, one direct. Four tweeters angled toward the rear
walls, side walls, and listening area. Two-Position Symmetry Control;
Asymmetric - side directed tweeters receive greater high-frquency excitation
than center-directed tweeters; Symmetric - for speaker placement without
adjacent reflecting walls, all tweeters are equally excited. Designed in
mirror-image pairs for stereo reproduction.
