For a
quarter century - since the beginning of "high fidelity" - Bozak
loudspeakers have been acknowledged as representing the highest standard of
music reproduction.
This has
been true both for all types of music and for every range of loudspeaker size
and price.
Recognition
of Bozak quality has not been confined to music in the home. The same qualities
which have kept Bozak pre-eminent among those striving for the finest
living-room music reproduction have been equally - perhaps even more so -
recognized by professional musicians and audio engineers. The result is that
the compact loudspeakers in this folder carry with them the same name and
reputation as the sound systems used for the Broadway hit musicals A Little
night Music and Candide, in such famed outdoor concert locations as the
Hollywood Bowl, Tanglewood and Ravinia and in the mobile orchestra stand used
by the New York Philharmonic for its summer series of Concerts in the Park.
While
enclosure size bears a direct relationship on loudspeaker performance, the
compact speaker systems described below have been engineered by Bozak so that
active components complement each specific cabinet size to provide the maximum
faithfulness of music reproduction for the particular sizes involved.
Rhapsody
Model B-401
(free standing unit sculptured foam grille)
Model B-402
(bookshelf unit with changeable cloth grille)
The largest
of Bozak's line of compact speakers, the Rhapsody is available in two enclosure
configurations, both of which feature genuine walnut veneer surfaces with
Bozak's special stain-resistant matte finish.
Model B-401
is a vertical free-standing unit with a pedestal base and with a sculptured
foam grille. It can accommodate an insert of glass, slate or marble to protect
the fine finish of the top when it is used as an end table.
Model B-402
is a bookshelf version with a changeable cloth grille. It may be used either
vertically or horizontally since all surfaces (except the back) are completely
finished.
A true
three-way system, its speaker complement includes the famed 12-inch
variable-density, high-compliance Bozak B-199A bass speaker, the patented
B-209B midrange driver, developed in Bozak's laboratories to give maximum
presence in the midrange without "break-up" distortions, and the dual
B-200Y tweeter array for broad dispersion of the upper frequencies without the
shriliness so often encountered. Midrange clarity is further heightened by the
fact that the driver is completely isolated from the bass enclosure.
This
combination of the very same speakers used in the largest Bozak systems,
combined with a passive L-C crossover network, provides a full spectrum of true
sound from natural bass through clear midtones to the highest shrill-free
treble.
A
three-position Acoustical Contour switch permits adjustment of the output
frequency response to accommodate varying room acoustics or individual
preferences.
If your
circumstances require a compact speaker, there is no better choice than the
Bozak Rhapsody.
