Bose Corporation was founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar G.
Bose, then professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. While doing graduate work at MIT in the 1950s, Dr. Bose decided
to purchase a new stereo system. He was disappointed to find that speakers with
impressive technical specifications failed to reproduce the realism of a live
performance. This led to extensive research in the fields of speaker design and
psychoacoustics - the human perception of sound. Dr. Bose's findings resulted
in significantly new design concepts that help deliver the emotional impact of
live music.
Bose established itself by introducing the 901® DIRECT/REFLECTING® speaker
system in 1968. With this introduction, Bose achieved international acclaim by
setting a new standard for lifelike sound reproduction.
The list of major technologies emerging from Bose continues to grow. Fourteen
years of research led to the development of acoustic waveguide speaker
technology, found in our award-winning WAVE® radio, WAVE® radio/CD, ACOUSTIC
WAVE® music system and WAVE® music system. The introduction of the technology
in ACOUSTIMASS® speakers reshaped conventional thinking about the relationship
between speaker size and sound. Speakers small enough to fit in the palm of
your hand produced sound quality previously thought impossible from small
speakers.
For arenas and other large venue applications, the technology in the
AUDITIONER® audio demonstrator removes the historical guesswork from sound
system design. It allows builders, architects and facility managers to hear
precisely what a BOSE® system will sound like in their building, before any
equipment is installed, even if the building only exists as a blueprint.
The proprietary, integrated system design found in LIFESTYLE® systems by Bose
has set new standards for complete home audio solutions. They have been
engineered to be the best-sounding, easiest-to-use music and home cinema
systems ever.
Today, you can hear Bose wherever quality sound is important. From the Olympic
games to the Sistine Chapel. From NASA space shuttles to the Japan National
Theatre. In the home and on the road, from large outdoor arenas to intimate
neighborhood stores and restaurants, you can hear the realism of the most
respected name in sound - Bose.!
