To connect the second pair of speakers, simply connect the 8 OHMS terminal of the second left speaker to the 8 OHMS terminal of the first left speaker. Connect the COM terminal of the second left speaker to the COM terminal of the first left speaker. Follow a similar procedure for the right speaker. Note: If your amplifier has separate output connections for different speaker impedances. you should connect each pair of speakers to the 4 OHM terminals of your power amplifier. V. IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY If you suspect that there is a problem with your 901 system, it is worth a few minutes of your time to determine whether your 901s are defective; and if so, that you return only that part of the system which is defective. If one speaker sounds defective, switch the left and right channel speaker cables at the point where they are connected to the amplifier or receiver. If the trouble moves to the other speaker, it is not in the speakers or in the speaker wiring. As noted earlier in this manual, if you hear distortion with both speakers at high sound levels which disappears when you turn the volume down or switch the BELOW 40 switch to CONTOUR, you are probably overloading the amplifier. If this is the case, leave the BELOW 40 switch in the CONTOUR position for the recording you are playing. (See Section IV, O.1 If the trouble seems to be in the Equalizer, be sure that the system operates properly with the Equalizer out of the circuit. Check this by switching the preamplifier or receiver TAPE MONITOR switch to the OUT or NORMAL position. Be certain that all cables are connected properly and that the cables are not defective. If the trouble persists, contact your dealer. He will arrange for service either by having the unit serviced at a Factory. Authorized Service Agency or at the BOSE Factory. If it becomes necessary to return your unit to the Factory, he can obtain a Return Authorization Number which must appear on the outside of the carton when the unit is returned to the Factory. Shipments arriving at the BOSE Factory without a RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER on the outside of the carton are not accepted, but are returned freight collect to the sender. Units must be returned prepaid. DO NOT SHIP VIA PARCEL POST. VI. TECHNICAL INFORMATION A.

Since
the
second
pair
of
speakers
is
connected
in
parallel
with
the
first
pair,
a
second
Equalizer
is
not
required.
For
this
reason,
the
BOSE
901
is
available
at
lower
cost
as
an
"Add

Pair,"
without

To
connect
the
second
pair
of
speakers,
simply
connect
the
8
OHMS
terminal
of
the
second
left
speaker
to
the
8
OHMS
terminal
of
the
first
left
speaker.
Connect
the
COM
terminal
of
the
second
left
speaker
to
the
COM

similar
procedure
for

Note:
If

you
should
connect

V.
IN
CASE
OF
DIFFICULTY
If
you
suspect
that
there
is
a
problem
with
your
901
system,
it
is
worth
a
few
minutes
of
your
time
to
determine
whether
your
901s
are
defective;
and
if
so,
that
you
return
only
that
part
of
the
system
which
is
defective.
If
one
speaker
sounds
defective,
switch
the
left
and
right
channel
speaker
cables
at
the
point
where
they
are
connected
to
the
amplifier
or
receiver.
If
the
trouble
moves
to
the
other
speaker,
it
is
not
in
the
speakers
or
in
the
speaker
wiring.
As
noted
earlier
in
this
manual,
if
you
hear
distortion
with
both
speakers
at
high
sound
levels
which
disappears
when
you
turn
the
volume
down
or
switch
the
BELOW
40
switch
to
CONTOUR,
you
are
probably
overloading
the
ampli-
fier.
If
this
is
the
case,
leave
the
BELOW
40
switch
in
the
CONTOUR
position
for
the
recording
you
are
playing.
(See
Section
IV,
O.1
If
the
trouble
seems
to
be
in
the
Equalizer,
be
sure
that
the
system
operates
properly
with
the
Equalizer
out
of
the
circuit.
Check
this
by
switching
the
preamplifier
or
receiver
TAPE
MONITOR
switch
to
the
OUT
or
NORMAL
position.
Be
certain
that
all
cables
are
connected
properly
and
that
the
cables
are
not
defective.
If
the
trouble
persists,
contact
your
dealer.
He
will
arrange
for
service
either
by
having
the
unit
serviced
at
a
Factory.
