• 8546 Answers SOURCE: There is no direct connection between the 901's and their Active Equalizer. It is designed to be inserted between the source and the DEDICATED amplifier driving the speakers. Typically, this would be in a Tape Monitor loop on a receiver. Tape Rec/Out to EQ In; EQ Out to Tape Play/In on the receiver.
If you have a tape deck(s), it(they) would go into the back of the Bose EQ as if it was the receiver and you would use the Tape and 1/2 buttons for selection. Or,if you have access to any other point that doesn't use the Tape Monitor, like a Pre Out/Main In jumper set, place the Equalizer there. That way it's always in front of the speakers and doesn't take up the Tape Mon. Flip in the Tape Monitor and leave it on or the speakers will not receive the essential ACTIVE Equalization they require for proper frequency response. DO NOT place non-901's onto any amp using the Active EQ.
Like any speakers, the 901's will attach to the speaker terminals in the conventional manner. Posted on Apr 13, 2009. • 1 Answer SOURCE: I had the same problem- I have a Pioneer VSX-518 and Bose 901 series IV. My receiver has no 'Tape Monitor', so after trying different hook ups, I went and bought a '3 input video switcher' (about $10.00) I run my STB (cable box), my PS3 and my computer through the inputs of the switcher (just the audio L/R) then the output to the Bose EQ input, then from the Bose EQ output to my receiver input (I chose to use the TV/DVR input).
Now I just have to select which source I want to listen to from the switch, make sure the receiver is set to TV/DVR and I have fantastic sound via my Bose 901s. With this hookup, I have my 3 componets video connected to my HDTV via HDMI cable.
It works for me. Hope this helps. Posted on Jun 25, 2009.
The Bose SoundDock system The SoundDock included an infrared remote that can control an iPod from across a room. The iPod and SoundDock system can also be operated without the remote. When an iPod is docked, all of its controls are accessible, with one-button volume controls available on the SoundDock system's enclosure.
The SoundDock can also charge (via firewire) and in the absence of the wall charger will charge up any iPod made before fall 2008. In 2004, the SoundDock featured in Fortune Magazine's 25 Best Products of the Year and 26 Must-Have Gadgets.
In 2006, it was the winner of the MacUser Reader's Award for Audio of the Year. After Bose released the SoundDock series II, the original SoundDock was discontinued in the United States.
But as of 2009, a redesigned SoundDock version 2 is currently being sold in the UK along with all the other SoundDock products. The docking station for the SoundDock version 2 is now 'Made for iPhone' certified and now charges via USB. Manufacturing is aided by the Bose Syncom measurement system designed in 1972.
