11. Design Features
* The BOSE Model 501 Direct/Reflecting® speaker system in-
corporates a ten-inch vvoofer and tvvo three-inch tvveeters along
with a unique Direct Energy Control allovving the speaker sys-
tem to easily adapt to your listening room. (See Figure 1.)
Utilizing the vvalls, ceiling, and floor of your listening room to
reflect sound, the Model 501 creates a sense of spaciousness
with a strong center image. By radiating the high-freguency
sound through the side and front grille panels, the 501 simulates
the proportion of reflected and direct sound experienced in the
larger environment of a live performance.
The ten-inch woofer found in the Model 501 provides outstand-
ing bass performance while providing a portion of the direct
sound at middle range freguencies. The extra-long excursion
suspension yields powerful low distortion bass reproduction.
The Model 501 Direct Energy Control adjusts the percentage of
Direct Sound radiated into the listening area. This control primarily
affects the spatial distribution of high-freguency energy and can
be used to compensate for speaker placement and listener
taste.
