Bose 1401 Booster/EqualizerThe Bose 1401 booster/equaliser has four separate amplifiers, each producing 25 watts. It also features active electronic equalisation, where the bass and treble responses are modified according to the car's interior acoustics. On the bottom edge of the booster/equaliser are slider bars that act as controls, as well as a spatial control that alters the frequency balance and a low-frequency control that boosts or eases the bass. For cars with absorbent interio...r fabric, there is an optional treble boost switch on the unit's back panel that can be set when the stereo is installed. The unusually shallow unit should be mounted beneath the tuner/cassette unit or underneath the front shelf. The booster/equaliser unit draws a current of about 400 milliamps up to 5 amps, depending on the type and volume of the music. Bose recommends running the unit from the car battery to avoid problems with the switch contacts or fuses; however, the unit's power must be turned off separately from the car ignition. Phono sockets are included with low-level and high-level inputs, allowing the system to be compatible with most good-quality car radio/cassette units.The unit looks to be in good condition considering its age.Please check the photos as they form part of the description.
