• I. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the BOSE Model 601 Direct/Reflecting's loudspeaker. This speaker is the result of many years of research into the art and science of bringing superb musical reproduction into your home. The Model 601 uses the acoustics of your listening room to simulate the open sound quality normally associated with live performances. Additionally, the Model 601 utilizes a Symmetry Control that allows placement of the speaker in a wide variety of listening room positions. The tonal balance of the Model 601-like that of all BOSE loudspeakers -is exceptionally accurate. This is accomplished by a unique arrangement of two eight-inch woofers and four three-inch tweeters providing the correct balance of total acoustic energy at every frequency. The 601 speaker system features a high efficiency design, allowing reproduction of high volume levels with relatively low amplifier power. Receivers and amplifiers as small as 15 watts per channel will provide outstanding performance. At BOSE, each speaker system is subjected to extensive mechanical and electrical quality control testing. This combination of outstanding performance and consistent quality makes the Model 601 an exceptional value. Since the 601's design and operation is significantly different than that of conventional loudspeakers. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS MANUAL. II. Unpacking Your Model 601s The BOSE Model 601 speaker system is packed in two cartons marked "Part 1" and "Part 2." Unpack each speaker carefully. Save the carton and all packing materials for possible use later. If either speaker appears to be damaged when unpacked, do not place the damaged speaker in operation. Repack the speaker(s) in its original carton and notify your dealer immediately. 3

the
acoustics
of
your
listening

to
simulate
the
open

with
live
performances.
Additionally,
the
Model
601
utilizes
a
Symmetry
Control
that
allows

room
positions.
The
tonal
balance
of
the
Model
601
—like
that
of
all
BOSE

—is
exceptionally
accurate.
This
