SYMMETRY

CONTROL

Conventional

speaker

systems

contain

one

or

more

passive

electronic

components

(called

a

crossover

system)

that

di-

vide

the

amplifier

signal

between

the

woofer

and

tweeter.

While

the

Model

601

crossover

still

provides

this

basic

"di-

viding"

function,

it

incorporates

a

Symmetry

Control

that

permits

the

spatial

performance

of

the

speaker

system

to

be

matched

to

your

room's

acoustics.(See

a

control,

located

below

the

speaker

terminals

on

the

rear

of

the

enclosure,

has

two

settings:

"Symmetric,"

and

"Asym-

metric."

The

effect

of

the

Symmetry

Control

is

subtle

and

will

gen-

erally

be

appreciated

by

more

sophisticated

listeners.

Its

incorporation

in

the

Model

601

reflects

BOSE's

desire

to

provide

the

finest

performance

to

all

listeners.
