Setting Up

Before you begin

Thank you for purchasing the 901

Direct/Reflecting

powered speaker system. The 901

speakers are the finest speakers produced by Bose

. Their legendary status is the result of

our research commitment to reproduce lifelike and spacious music along with elegant and
sleek styling.

Please take the time to read this owner’s guide carefully. It will help you set up and operate
your 901 speakers properly. Save your owner’s guide for future reference.

Unpacking the speakers

Carefully unpack the contents of each shipping carton (Figure 1):

• Remove each speaker carefully.

• Retain all packaging material for possible future use.

• If either speaker appears damaged, do not use it. Repack each speaker in its original carton

and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately.

WARNING:

To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags that wrap these speakers

out of the reach of children.

WARNING:

Each speaker weighs 52 lb (23.6 kg). Use good lifting practice to avoid injury.
