lsneon Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Recently inherited a set of 901's without the EQ. Now starts the hunt for an EQ. My question is do I specifically need to match the Series V EQ or will a IV or VI work correctly? Right now am limiting my hunt to V's only. Thanks for the FB lsneon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Hi and welcome! I don't know about Bose (but there are members here who do). Fortunately for you Bose, unlike the other New England speakers we love, is still in business. Why not contact their tech support? https://www.bose.com/en_us/support.html?mc=K3073319&gclid=CNSdmY3Br8sCFcYYHwod8sMF1A Meanwhile, maybe someone here will have an answer. -Kent PS: I downloaded the manual here: http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/assets/pdf/guides/speakers/901_series5/en/owg_en_901_series5.pdf On page 11 it says do NOT use a Series I, II, III o IV EQ with your Series V speakers.

DavidR Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think the series 6 EQ will work and they can be bought on Amazon.com new for around $200. The guy who would really know is David Shirly of DHS Speaker Servicehttp://www.dhsspeakerservice.com His email is dhsspeaker@hotmail.com He rebuilds the EQs and uses much better components than Bose used. It does make a difference. He's done a series 6 EQ and series 2 EQ for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknofossil Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 https://deercreekaudio.com/products/eq901b-v-vi-bose-901-equalizer They program the MiniDSP with the response curve that duplicates the Series 5 or 6 equalizer. Disadvantage is there is no adjust-ability which allowed the user to better integrate the system with their room. Of course you could add some other type of equalizer to do this but then you'd likely be over the price of a real replacement equalizer.
