Default Bose 901 EQ distortion

"Chris Kidd" wrote in ...
I have 33 Bose 102 ceiling speakers installed as under-balcony delay in
the theater where I work. It had a 102 system processor and analog
eq/delay units when originally installed. When the processing was
replaced with a BSS minidrive, the guy who eventually RTA'ed the room
said he took a sample of the 102's EQ pattern by sending a pink noise
signal through it and analyzed the output signal to see what kind of
curve the processor provided and used this as the basis for the
minidrives programming "flatline" and then correcting for room response
with the rta. Could you take a new "DSP box" and analyzer and make your
own "901 EQ"?


Dunno why not. A speaker is a speaker, whether it says Bose on
it or not. The bottom line is what it sounds like in the audience
area, so RTA'ing the room may be a good solution to dealing with
whatever wierdness of Bose drivers.
