The story of Bose begins with the story of a boy fascinated by electronics—taking things apart, figuring out how they worked and dreaming of one day inventing his own.
Teenaged Amar Bose built a successful radio repair service out of his family’s home. While at MIT, Dr. Bose amassed a number of patents and instead of licensing them to another company, he decides to keep them and start a company of his own.
Psychoacoustics is the study of how sound is perceived. It’s at the very foundation of how Bose creates its audio products and, in fact, goes all the way back to the inception of the company.
Dr. Bose saw that other speakers had specs that only measured how they made his music sound, not how he heard it.
The 2201 speaker was the first Direct/Reflecting speaker they produced, and it paved the way for the legendary 901 speaker system.
