Bose introduces Computer MusicMonitor

The engineering objective was to create the best possible musical accuracy from the least obtrusive system design.

The new Computer MusicMonitor was developed for listening with laptop and desktop computers. It incorporates several Bose innovations, including a new invention to deliver deep low notes from very small enclosures: the dual internal opposing passive radiators.

'Our premium two-piece computer speaker system is also our smallest; it delivers sound you'd expect to hear from much larger speakers,' said John Dodson, General Manager, Bose® Corporation - Middle East & Africa.

With this technology, Bose engineers used two small passive radiators per speaker rather than one larger one. By placing the passive radiators in an opposing fashion, the primary mechanical vibrations created by one are cancelled by the other. This preserves the desired audio quality and keeps the small enclosures from moving across a desk when played.

High-performance neodymium transducers are also part of the acoustic package. These transducers use neodymium iron boron magnets, which deliver approximately 10 times the magnetic energy density of the less expensive, conventional magnets.

The electronics package in the MusicMonitor system is integral to achieving its performance and size. Proprietary digital signal processing algorithms improve instrument detail and definition. Proprietary switching amplifiers deliver efficient power amplification.

The Computer MusicMonitor features an aluminum enclosure. While more costly than other materials, it offers the required combination of benefits: it dissipates heat effectively, withstands the high pressure created within the small acoustic package, and provides a clean and modern look.

Setup is simple. All required cables are included; with today's computers, no additional software or soundcard is needed to play downloaded music, internet radio and other content.

There are two ways to operate the on-off and volume: via the system's remote control or by using the buttons discreetly positioned on the side of the right speaker.
