What to do if the trouble seems to be in the 901 active equalizer of my Bose 901 VI Loud Speaker System?
If you suspect the 901 active equalizer is the source of the problem, bypass it to see if the system functions properly without it. (Note that the speakers will lack highs or lows without it.) Also, verify that all connections are correct and that none of the cables are defective.
Why do I hear distortion at high volume levels on my Bose 901 VI Loud Speaker System?
If you experience distortion at high volume levels, attempt to reduce the volume. If the distortion disappears, it might indicate that your receiver or amplifier lacks sufficient power.
What to do if one speaker sounds defective or does not play on my Bose 901 VI Loud?
If a speaker sounds defective or doesn't play, avoid switching the wires, as this could damage the speaker. Instead, turn off the amplifier and disconnect the wire of the defective speaker at the amplifier. Then, reconnect it to the other channel. If the speaker now functions correctly, the issue isn't with the speaker or its wiring.
What to do if neither speaker plays on my Bose 901 VI Loud Speaker System?
If neither speaker is playing, try connecting the speakers to another receiver or amplifier that you know is working properly. If the speakers work correctly with the alternative device, the issue isn't with the speakers themselves. Note that without the 901 active equalizer, the tonal balance of the 901 speakers will be incorrect.
