The Big Secret Behind Those Little Bose Speakers!

Have you ever been over a friends’ house that was equipped with a Bose home audio or theatre system and been wowed at how amazingly clear the sound is? And when you ask to see the speakers, which seem nowhere to be found, you are pointed to smaller, satellite speakers that are so tiny they nearly blend in with the room. Yet the sound is amazing, crisp, defined and bright. So, how in the heck did they do this? Well there is a little bit of secrets behind the Bose technology, and we were wondering, “What in the Heck,” as well. So we thought, “Why not?” And decided to tell you just why and how those teeny little speakers are able to blast the walls off of homes. 

How do they work?
The Bose WaveGuide™ technology was developed and created by to Dr. Amar Bose and a senior Bose research engineer, Dr. William R. Short, and took the better part of fifteen years to develop. The core of technology was based upon how pipe organs harnessed the sounds from pipes and output them as a much larger wave by ‘guiding’ the sound. The same technology is applied with these speakers. The duo figured out that by simply mounting a loudspeaker inside a trailing and curved apparatus of tubes that could guide the waves, the waves could then be made to be increased, nearly to the size of the sound waves that a massive loudspeaker system creates.

Costs Versus Quality:
While it may be hard for some folks to actually afford to get their ears wrapped around the Bose technology because it does happen to sit in the higher price bracket of audio systems and speakers, this does not mean that there are not comparable brands that cost far less. For those who are truly seeking the best audio clarity and are confined to the limitations of a smaller budget, there are other options.
Check out this forum that offers advice on how to buy comparable systems that are priced well beneath $700 US.
 
Why is the Technology Better?
There is no question that the Bose technology is superior to other loudspeaker systems. For one, there have been nearly 20 years of collective research and developments made on the Bose speakers you see on store shelves today. Secondly, they take up very little space. A small, two-foot Bose speaker box can effectively outperform a four-foot-tall loudspeaker. Namely because the tubes inside of the box are about seven feet in length, and have the power to create more sound than the largest conventional speaker cone.
