Hello - I inherited some Bose 901 speakers. I have the EQ but am a bit confused on how to hook these things up and hoping to get some advice.
Ultimately I want to mostly play audio from my phone via Bluetooth/ streaming. A bit of context and info on other audio gear I have: I have a number of Sonos speakers around the house. I have a SONOS AMP I could use with these if it works. Or, if it is better, I could use this old Kenwood 103AR Receiver I have laying around too. I bought a cheap bluetooth module off Amazon.
Doing a bit of research on the sub-reddit it seems people don’t necessarily love these things. But, and advice on setting these up and which cable to connect where would be appreciated.
That kenwood receiver will not work with the 901 equalizer. Allthough it has tape inputs, it does not have a tape monitor function. Without a tape monitor function you don’t get the equalizer into the audio playback loop.
it will work fine. tape play = tape out. tape rec = tape in. connect tape play to equalizer input, and tape rec to equalizer output.
That will only work with a tape monitor function. That allows one to hear what’s being recorded from the deck rather than the source. Without that function, you never get the equalizer into the audio loop. The kenwood doesn’t have that function.
huh…im not going to continue arguing my former point as im kind of questioning my logic at the moment. i might have been for some reason mixing the tape in/out up with a preamp in/out.
