True HD Sound Systems

 

From the power of a symphony to the intimacy of an acoustic guitar, the experience of a live performance is unmistakable. The challenge for us is to re-create this listening experience in people's homes, businesses, bars, and restraunts.

Think about why you like live music performances so much. You're surrounded by sound. You're not only listening, you're feeling the music and the emotional impact it conveys. You become immersed in the experience. Our goal is to recreate, as closely as possible, the experience of a live performance through speakers we install for you.

Today, Bose Direct/Reflecting® technology helps support complex movie soundtracks that deliver new realms of entertainment. Surround sound technology and multichannel sources mandate systems that can re-create the listening impact you've come to expect in movie theaters. Incorporating Direct/Reflecting® technologies in Bose systems re-creates those dynamic audio experiences.

The flagship 901® Direct/Reflecting® stereo speakers bring the warmth, power and excitement of a concert hall or movie theater to your home or commercial space. They create the mix of direct and reflected sound you hear in a live performance, to deliver a listening experience that conveys much of the emotion that only live music can evoke.

Breakthrough technology for spacious performance

The introduction of the revolutionary Bose® 901 speakers in 1968 redefined the phrase “high fidelity.” For the first time, a speaker was capable of reproducing music with much of the impact, clarity and spaciousness of a live performance.

901 speakers work by reflecting most of the sound off walls and other flat surfaces, instead of aiming all the sound toward you, as conventional speakers do. With Direct/Reflecting® speaker technology, anything you listen to—from the latest DVD audio to your favorite vintage records—acquires lifelike realism, because the speakers reproduce the natural concert hall balance of direct and reflected sound.

Experience spacious sound from speakers that blend into your room so beautifully, only their noteworthy performance will remind you they're there. Virtually Invisible® 191 speakers connect to your stereo or surround sound components. They deliver wide, spacious sound coverage from speakers that almost disappear into your walls or ceiling.

Design blends in. Sound stands out

Bose® 191 speakers deliver the lifelike sound you want for stereo and home theater. They're designed for unobtrusive, flush-mount placement in walls or ceilings and are easy to install. They can even be painted to match your room. Proprietary Bose technologies can make a difference in everything you listen to. It's music to your ears—and easy on your eyes.

Turn on your favorite CD or settle in with a DVD and let rich, natural sound fill your room. You'll enjoy lifelike spaciousness and balanced stereo sound throughout the listening area with our Articulated Array® speaker design. And you'll experience Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance almost anywhere you sit in the room, rather than the smaller "sweet spots" most conventional speakers provide.

Performance you can count on

A proprietary ported enclosure delivers smooth, consistent low-frequency response, regardless of where the speaker is placed. This innovative approach compensates for unpredictable environments behind walls or above ceilings that can diminish performance. The enclosure also directs lower frequencies into the listening area where they are installed, and prevents them from radiating directly into adjoining rooms.

The enclosure allows for easy placement in the wall or ceiling. Speakers come with both rectangular and round grilles, so you can flush-mount your choice to either surface. And when they're painted to match your walls or ceilings, they blend right in.

A versatile option for both music and movie listening, these small speakers provide balanced stereo sound in an elegant design. They work with both your stereo and your home theater components and blend easily into practically any décor.

Technology drives the performance

Beneath the sleek exterior of each 161™ speaker resides the technology that makes these speakers so versatile. Two proprietary Twiddler™ drivers in each enclosure help the 161 speaker rival speakers of much larger size. Articulated Array® speaker design positions those drivers to provide a large, consistent sound field so you can enjoy Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance from almost anywhere in the room.

The VCS-10® center channel speaker combines with your existing speakers and surround sound receiver to deliver exciting theater sound. Get more from your component system and enjoy lifelike movie dialogue, even when you’re seated off to either side.

Theater Quality Voice

Special effects add excitement to the theater experience, but the dialogue in a great movie is just as important. While your front and rear speakers process action and effects, the VCS-10 center channel works with your surround sound receiver to produce dialog with rich, natural tones that seem to come directly from the screen. Each phrase can be lifelike and clear, so you don’t miss a word.

The VCS-10 center channel speaker is designed to complement your TV or entertainment system. Its patented Compound Loaded® drivers deliver clear, cinema-like dialogue. And Articulated Array® speaker design “locks” dialogue on screen and provides a large consistent sound field for a cinema-like experience.

The VCS-10 center channel speaker features slim, sleek dimensions that complement your television or entertainment system. Picture distortion is prevented by the VCS-10 center channel speaker’s magnetic shielding.

Articulated Array® speaker design delivers Stereo Everywhere® speaker performance for a consistent listening experience. Enjoy full stereo sound as you move from inside to the outdoors. And the sleek cabinets ensure your speakers blend stylishly into the lines of your space.

Leave the building without leaving your music

Whether it’s a mid-day get togeather or an outdoor simulated concert under the stars, the Bose® 151® SE outdoor speakers deliver the full stereo sound you want. You’ll enjoy the same rich sound of music grilling on the porch or doing a little gardening around the backyard.
Inside each speaker are three 2½-inch full-range environmental drivers arranged in an Articulated Array speaker design. This provides Stereo Everywhere speaker performance for consistent sound in a much wider area than conventional speakers provide. You have the freedom to listen to your music wherever you are, not just in a small “sweet spot” where your music sounds best.

Weather won't come between you and quality

They’ve been tested against snow, rain, salt and temperature extremes of 158º F (70ºC) to -40º F (-40ºC), even through 1,200 hours of salt-fog testing, which is twice the demanding Marine Industry Standard. And to further underline their toughness, these speakers have a five-year transferable limited warranty.

Indoors or outside, style matters

Outdoor speakers should reflect the same attention to detail you like throughout your space. Bose 151 SE speakers are designed to blend smoothly with horizontal eave, clapboard and roof lines. Sleek, compact cabinets accentuate your outdoor environment instead of imposing on it. New adjustable, weather-resistant brackets allow you to hang the speakers vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference.
