BOSE ® 301 ™ SERIES III TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The BOSE 301 Series III System is an economical way to enjoy the legendary spatial

realism of a Direct/Reflecting ®system. This system creates a natural balance of reflected

and direct sound that conventional speaker designs can’t match. The result is lifelike

spaciousness that approaches the realism of a live performance. Even sound distribution

also enables the listener to sit or stand anywhere and still hear the same volume and blend

of musical instruments.

This achievement is also aided by three high performance drivers in each cabinet: one 8"

woofer and two 3” tweeters. The tweeters are arranged in a three-dimensional Free Space®

Array which is mounted slightly away from the cabinet face. One tweeter is aimed inward

toward the center of the listening area. The second tweeter is aimed outward so that its

output is reflected off the side wall. This arrangement provides the excellent spatial

characteristics of a Direct/Reflecting ®system.

The 301 system employs the BOSE Dual Frequency ™ crossover network. The crossover

provides a smooth transition from low to high frequencies by sending sound to all the

drivers over nearly a full octave. The result is a clear definition of each instrument and

voice.

Additionally, the system incorporates slot-port technology which reduces port noise and

produces cleaner, more natural bass. The sum of all these unique features makes the 301

Series III speaker capable of reproducing the wide dynamic range demanded by today’s

advanced recordings without strain or loss of clarity.

TEST PROCEDURES

NOTE: Before performing any tests,remove the grille assembly. Refer to the Grille

Assembly Removal procedure.

1. Woofer Rub and Tick Test

A. Connect a sine wave oscillator to a power amplifier. Adjust the frequency of the oscillator

to 10 Hz and the amplifier output to 8 Vrms. Connect the amplifier output to the input

terminals of the 301-III speaker (see Figure 1). No extraneous noises such as rubbing,

scraping or ticking should be heard. 1

NOTE: To distinguish between normal suspension noise and rubs or ticks, displace the

cone on the woofer slightly with your fingers. If the noise can be made to go away or get

worse, it is a rub or a tick and the woofer should be replaced. If the noise stays the same, it

is normal suspension noise and the woofer is fine. Suspension noises will not be heard with

program material.

2. Woofer Sweep Test

A. Sweep the oscillator from 10 Hz to 3 kHz using the 8 Vrms signal. There should not be

any loud extraneous sounds. If there are any loud buzzes or distortion, replace the woofer.

NOTE: There should not be any buzzes or rattles from within the speaker cabinet. Redress

any wire or component that buzzes.

3. Tweeter Sweep Test

A. Reduce the amplifier output to 4.0 Vrms and continue sweeping from 3 kHz to 15 kHz.

If one of the tweeters is buzzing or distorting, replace it.

4. Air Leak Test

A. Using the 8Vrms signal, set the oscillator frequency to 45 Hz. For at least 5 seconds,

listen for air leaks around the woofer,terminal cup and tweeter mounting brackets. If there is

a "whooshing" noise around the woofer, re-position the woofer gasket behind the woofer to

make an airtight seal. If there are any similar noises around either of the tweeter mounting

brackets or the terminal cup, make sure that these items are securely fastened to the

speaker assembly.

5. Woofer Phase Test

NOTE: Supply voltage should only be momentarily applied to the speaker input terminals to

avoid possible damage to the speaker.

A. Set a DC power supply to 8 volts. To ensure that the woofer is connected in phase,

connect the positive lead of the supply to the positive (+) speaker input terminal and the

negative lead to the negative (-) input terminal. The woofer should move outwards with the

application of the supply voltage.This ensures that the woofer and speaker input terminals

are wired in phase. See Schematic Diagram, Figure 2.

6. Tweeter Phase Test

A. Remove 4 screws and lift the woofer carefully away from the speaker cabinet in order to

access the terminal cup. Check the wiring on the terminal cup and on both sets of tweeter

terminals against the schematic in Figure 2. This ensures that both tweeters are wired in

phase.

REMOVING THE GRILLE ASSEMBLY

A. The grille assembly is held in place by 6 grille fasteners. To remove, CAREFULLY pull

the assembly away from the speaker (it should lift away easily).

REPAIR PROCEDURES

1. Replacing the Woofer

A. Remove the 4 screws holding the woofer in place. (Refer to Figure 3 for an exploded

view of the speaker assembly). Lift the woofer out and cut the wires connected to the

woofer terminals as close to the terminals as possible. Strip the wires and connect to the

replacement woofer. Make sure that the yellow wire is connected to the positive (+) terminal

and the green wire is connected to the negative (-) terminal of the woofer. Remount the

woofer to the cabinet using the 4 screws. Repeat the woofer test procedure.

Schematic Diagram

2. Replacing the Tweeters

NOTE: The positive terminal of each tweeter is marked with a red dot.

A. The upper and lower tweeters are mounted on brackets. Refer to Figure 3. Remove one

(1) screw which secures either tweeter to its bracket. Lift the tweeter away from the bracket

and cut the wires connected to the tweeter as close to the tweeter terminals as possible.

Strip the wires and connect to the replacement tweeter. The tweeters should be wired as

follows:

(1). Upper Tweeter-Make sure that the red wire is connected to the positive (+) terminal

and the grey wire is connected to the negative (-) terminal.

(2). Lower Tweeter-Make sure that the grey wire is connected to the positive (+) terminal

and the black wire is connected to the negative (-) terminal.

REMOUNTING THE GRILLE

A. The grille can only be remounted one way (see Figure 3). Align the grille feet with the 6

grille fasteners. Press in lightly until the grille feet are engaged by the grille fasteners. The

grille assembly should be flush with the front and side of the cabinet. The nameplate should

be located near the bottom side of the grille. See Figure 3.
