Dr. Amar G. Bose is Chairman of the Board and Technical Director of
the Bose Corporation and Professor of Electrical Engineering at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was born in
Philadelphia in 1929, and received his bachelor, master and doctoral
degrees from MIT in the mid-50s. In 1956, Dr. Bose began research into
physical acoustics and psychoacoustics: the study of human perception
of sound.

Bose’s studies at the Institute led to numerous patents in the fields
of acoustics, electronics, nonlinear systems, and communication
theory, as well as the founding of the Bose Corporation in 1964.

After initially questioning why loudspeakers with advanced technical
specifications failed to reproduce the realism of a live performance,
Dr. Bose began his 12-year study of speaker design and
psychoacoustics. The Bose Corporation introduced the Bose 901 Sound
System, which set a new standard for sound quality and promptly
received worldwide acclaim.

The Bose Corporation currently designs and manufacturers some of the
most sophisticated and highly regarded audio products in the
world—including the Bose Wave® Radio. The Bose name is synonymous with
quality sound and is known for its lifelike sound and dependability.

Dr. Amar G. Bose was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2000.
