3.1 Biamping
Those who are not familiar with Bose
products may need to understand
that Bose handles the biamping of its
loudspeaker products in a different
manner than the traditional industry
practice. Standard industry practice
is to split the audio bandwidth into two
discrete sections divided by 2nd-
order (12-dB/octave) or steeper filters
(see Figure 3.12).

The way Bose uses the biamp desig-
nation does not limit the bandwidth
passing to the upper (high pass) sec-
tion; however, it does lower the level
of bass equalization employed (see
Figures 3.13 and 3.14). The additional
bass energy required is then derived
from the 502B subwoofer( see Fig-
ures 3.25 and 3.16).
