Setting Up

Before you begin

Your 301® Series IV Direct/Reflecting® speakers re-create a natural balance of reflected and direct sound energy for an open, spacious performance. They are designed at Bose® to bring you high-quality listening pleasure.

The Direct/Reflecting® tweeter inside each speaker creates a pattern of sound similar to what you experience at a live concert. In addition, the Stereo Targeting® tweeters help establish the natural balance of sound, for full enjoyment of stereo even when you move around the room. These distinct left and right speakers also feature tuned port enclosures that contribute to their deep, room-filling bass. An advanced crossover design adds to the realism and clear definition of both musical instruments and voices.

Your 301 Series IV speakers are significantly different from conventional speakers, so be sure to read this owner’s guide. It will help you set up and use your speakers properly, for the greatest enjoyment.

301 Series specifications

The Bose 301 Series speakers have earned a distinguished reputation in the realm of home audio systems, known for their blend of sophisticated design and impressive sound performance. These speakers embody Bose’s commitment to innovation and quality, making them a popular choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

One of the standout features of the Bose 301 Series is its unique Direct/Reflecting speaker technology. This design disperses sound throughout the room, creating a more immersive listening experience. Unlike conventional speakers that primarily direct sound forward, the Bose 301 utilizes a combination of direct and reflected audio waves. This results in a broader soundstage and enhances the overall depth of sound, making it feel as though the listener is at the center of the performance.

Additionally, the Bose 301 Series incorporates dual 5.25-inch full-range drivers that provide rich and balanced audio across a wide range of frequencies. The speakers are engineered to deliver powerful bass performance without compromising clarity in mid and high frequencies. This balance allows listeners to experience music and movies with a richness that is typically found in much larger speaker systems.

The enclosure design of the Bose 301 is also noteworthy. The speakers feature a sleek, compact design that allows them to seamlessly blend into various home décor styles. Moreover, their built-in bass reflex port enhances low-frequency response, providing a more rounded sound profile. This design reduces distortion and helps to maintain clear sound at higher volumes.

Another important characteristic of the Bose 301 Series is their versatility. They can be used in a variety of setups whether as stereo speakers for a music system or as part of a surround sound setup for home theater. Their capability to handle a wide range of power inputs ensures that they can perform well with different amplifiers and receivers, making them an adaptable choice for diverse listening environments.

In summary, the Bose 301 Series speakers are characterized by their Direct/Reflecting technology, robust driver configuration, and aesthetically pleasing design. Their exceptional audio quality and versatility make them a smart investment for anyone looking to enhance their listening experience at home. Whether enjoying your favorite music or watching a cinematic masterpiece, the Bose 301 Series promises to deliver an engaging audio experience that captures every nuance and emotion.
