The EQ901 Elite is an ultra high performance replacement for existing BOSE 901® Series I/II, III/IV or V/VI equalizers (select your series when ordering).

The unit provides the BOSE 901 specific equalizer curves with four tone modes that accommodate a wide range of room conditions and recording variations. Designed for use with high-quality pre/power amplifiers or integrated amplifiers and receivers, the unit builds on our EQ901B series with lower distortion, greater dynamic range and higher fidelity, providing audiophile-grade digital signal processors, DACs and analog signal stages.

Setting Tone Modes

Selection of the tone mode is generally a subjective choice based on what sounds best to you. 

• Normal mode is the most neutral
• Enhanced mode provides a tighter sound
• Warm mode adds midrange with slight treble reduction
• Low Frequency Reduction mode is intended to control bass in smaller rooms or on “boomy” recordings

Analog Input Level

The analog audio input levels are switchable between 2.0 Vrms and 4.0 Vrms to accommodate use with most equipment. The EQ901 Eite is shipped with the analog input level set to 2.0 Vrms. The only user-accessible jumpers are used to set the analog input sensitivity. The jumpers are located on the internal PC board near the RCA input jacks.
