Series

II

Speaker

System

many

built-in

and

user

-selectable

features

not

•

Bose

Dynamic

Equalization

Circuitry.

Patented

built-in

Bose

Dynamic

Equalization

circuitry

eliminates

a

problem

common

to

conventional

audio

systems

—

loss

of

bass

at

low

volume

levels.

The

ear

is

less

sensitive

to

low

bass

at

low

listening

levels

and

cannot

hear

parts

of

the

musical

spectrum

-

even

entire

instruments

-

on

a

conventional

system

when

it

is

operated

at

a

low

volume

level.

The

proprietary

Bose

Dynamic

Equalization

technology,

developed

after

10

years

of

acoustic

and

psychoacoustic

research,

solves

this

problem

by

continuously

(dynamically)

adjusting

the

level

of

bass

produced

depend-

ing

on

the

volume

level

chosen

-

without

distorting

the

spoken

voice.

This

also

elimi-

nates

the

need

to

readjust

tone

controls

every

time

the

volume

level

is

turned

up

or

down.

Music

always

sounds

full

and

rich,

whether

the

system

is

played

very

softly

or

loudly.
