How to Connect Bose 901 Equalizer to Receiver
Connecting a Bose 901 equalizer to a receiver can enhance your audio experience by providing customized sound adjustments. This guide will walk you through the steps to connect your Bose 901 equalizer to your receiver, ensuring a seamless integration.
1. Gather the necessary equipment
Before you begin, make sure you have the following equipment ready:
– Bose 901 equalizer
– Receiver
– Stereo RCA cables (also known as red and white cables)
– Optional: Speaker wire connectors (if you plan to connect the equalizer to the speakers directly)
2. Locate the auxiliary input on your receiver
Most receivers have an auxiliary input, which is typically labeled as “AUX” or “CD.” This input allows you to connect external devices like a Bose 901 equalizer. Locate the auxiliary input on your receiver and note its location.
3. Connect the Bose 901 equalizer to the receiver
Using the stereo RCA cables, connect the equalizer to the receiver as follows:
– Connect the red RCA cable from the “Right” output of the equalizer to the “Right” auxiliary input on the receiver.
– Connect the white RCA cable from the “Left” output of the equalizer to the “Left” auxiliary input on the receiver.
4. Connect the receiver to the speakers
If you haven’t already connected your speakers to the receiver, do so now using speaker wire connectors. Ensure that the positive (usually marked with a “+” sign) and negative (usually marked with a “-” sign) terminals on the receiver are properly connected to the corresponding terminals on the speakers.
5. Power on the system
Turn on your receiver and the Bose 901 equalizer. Adjust the volume on your receiver to a comfortable level.
6. Set up the equalizer
Access the equalizer’s settings on your receiver to adjust the sound parameters. This process may vary depending on your receiver model. Typically, you can access the equalizer settings by pressing the “EQ” or “Equalizer” button on the receiver’s remote control or front panel. Follow the on-screen instructions to adjust the equalizer settings to your preference.
7. Enjoy the enhanced sound
With the Bose 901 equalizer connected and the settings adjusted, you should now enjoy the enhanced sound quality from your receiver. Take advantage of the equalizer’s features to fine-tune the sound to your liking.
By following these steps, you can successfully connect your Bose 901 equalizer to your receiver and experience the benefits of personalized sound adjustments. Enjoy your improved audio experience!
