Background and Company History of Bose Corporation

Bose Corporation is a privately held American company that specializes in consumer electronics. It was founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar G. Bose, a former professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Bose has 8 manufacturing facilities and 16 international subsidiaries with numerous retail stores around the U.S. Bose is best known for the 901 loudspeaker series. Its specialties include home audio, automotive audio, professional sound, aviation audio and noise reduction technology.

The birth of a legend started in the 1950s, when its founder, Dr. Bose, then an MIT graduate student decided to purchase a new stereo system. He observed that loudspeakers did not deliver the natural sound of a live performance he was expecting.

Bose’s extensive research into the science of sound led to the formation of Bose Corporation. In 1968, the company introduced the revolutionary 901® Direct/Reflecting® speaker, recreating an unprecedented similarity to a live musical performance. Many more groundbreaking innovations, inventions and development in the waveguide speaker technology transpired.

Fourteen years of research led to the development of acoustic waveguide speaker technology, found in our award-winning Wave® radio, Wave® music system and Acoustic Wave® music systems. Acoustimass® speaker technology reshaped conventional thinking about the relationship between speaker size and sound.

Auditioner® audio demonstrator technology removed the guesswork from sound system design for arenas and other large venues. It allows builders, architects and facility managers to hear precisely what a Bose® system will sound like in their building, before any equipment is installed, even if the building only exists as a blueprint.

Bose Lifestyle® systems provide a welcome alternative to conventional component-based systems by offering fully integrated home entertainment solutions. It also delivers an award-winning performance and elegance from elements specifically engineered to work together.

The systems approach has paved the way for numerous Bose solutions, audio and beyond. Integrated systems account for the acclaimed performance of Bose automotive sound systems and Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headsets. The revolutionary Bose suspension system and ElectroForce® linear motion system rely on proprietary Bose software and hardware working together in harmony. All feature technologies available only from Bose.

Bose can be found wherever quality sound is important, from Olympic games to NASA space shuttles, in the homes or on the road, from large outdoor amphitheaters to intimate dining and clubs.
