Bose Introduces Wave Music System.FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- Bose Corporation The Bose Corporation is a privately-held American company based in Framingham, Massachusetts that specializes in audio equipment[2][3] and holds the philosophy of supporting its technological development through research (thus the company motto). announces the new Bose Wave(R) music system, the next generation in acoustic waveguide waveguide, device that controls the propagation of an electromagnetic wave so that the wave is forced to follow a path defined by the physical structure of the guide. speaker technology. The original Bose Wave(R) radio and Bose Wave(R) radio/CD dramatically changed people's beliefs about the sound quality they could expect from a small system. Now, these award-winning predecessors have been engineered to a new standard of performance, elegance, and simplicity. The Bose Wave(R) music system incorporates new waveguide speaker technology to reproduce one-half octave lower musical notes without increasing the system's size. The Bose Wave(R) music system also uses proprietary signal processing See DSP. to improve instrument clarity and definition at all listening levels. Creating the new Bose Wave(R) music system involved the expertise of over 250 engineers, incorporating acoustic, mechanical, electrical, software, signal processing, manufacturing, and quality engineering. Sophisticated computer models were used to integrate the electronics, amplifiers, and speakers into an elegant and small package while enhancing performance. The Bose Wave(R) music system has no buttons and is simple to operate and enjoy. All of the functions of the system are controlled using a credit card-style remote. The system is designed to interface seamlessly with other Bose products through the proprietary Bose link technology. The Bose Wave(R) music system incorporates a number of features, including a slot-load CD player that also plays newer MP3 CDs, a talk radio mode to compensate for the artificial low frequency boost of some talk radio programs, and circuitry that preserves the system settings and time for up to two days during a power outage Noun 1. power outage - equipment failure resulting when the supply of power fails; "the ice storm caused a power outage" power failure equipment failure, breakdown - a cessation of normal operation; "there was a power breakdown" without the use of batteries. The system is assembled using custom-designed manufacturing equipment installed in Bose's South Carolina South Carolina, state of the SE United States. It is bordered by North Carolina (N), the Atlantic Ocean (SE), and Georgia (SW). Facts and Figures Area, 31,055 sq mi (80,432 sq km). Pop. (2000) 4,012,012, a 15. assembly plant. The new Bose Wave(R) music system comes in platinum white or graphite gray and is expected to sell for $499. It will be available in September 2004 through Bose retail stores, www.bose.com and toll-free at 1-800-444-BOSE (2673). About Bose Corporation Bose Corporation was founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar G.

Noise control is the process of obtaining an acceptable noise environment for people in different situations. Understanding noise and its control requires a knowledge of the major sources of noise, sound propagation, human Cancelling(R) headphones Head-mounted speakers. Headphones have a strap that rests on top of the head, positioning a pair of speakers over both ears. For listening to music or monitoring live performances and audio tracks, both left and right channels are required. for consumers and pilots, and sound for public places. |
