  • Page 12 3.1 Biamping Those who are not familiar with Bose products may need to understand that Bose handles the biamping of its loudspeaker products in a different manner than the traditional industry practice. Standard industry practice is to split the audio bandwidth into two discrete sections divided by 2nd- order (12-dB/octave) or steeper filters (see Figure 3.12).
