Recommended Amplifier
Selecting the proper amplifier size for a given loudspeaker requires analysis of the transducer
long-term (or RMS) power rating, dynamic range of the input-source material (crest factor),
desired sound pressure levels, and other factors. As a general guideline, the following table
provides recommended power amplifier ranges.
CAUTION: Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damage to the loudspeaker.
The Bose

the F1 Model 812 Passive Flexible Array loudspeaker. Please refer to the specifications listed on
the pro.bose.com website for amplifiers and compare with the table above to determine which
model is best for your particular system design.
Recommended Signal Processing
Digital signal processing (DSP) equipment is required for infrasonic protection and amplifier
power limiting functions. This processing is available in optional products from Bose such as the
PowerMatch amplifiers and/or ControlSpace
®
DSP hardware.
The following table lists the recommended infrasonic bandpass protection and amplifier limiter
settings.
