SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by the symbol on
schematics or by special notes on the parts list. Use only replacement parts that
have critical characteristics recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Make leakage current or resistance measurements to determine that exposed
parts are acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before returning the unit
to the customer. Refer to Paragraph 84 of UL 1270. Use the following checks to
perform these measurements:
A. Leakage Current Hot Check-With the unit completely reassembled, plug
the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation
transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current tester or a metering
system that complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
C101.1 “Leakage Current for Appliances” and Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) 1492 (71). With the unit AC switch first in the ON position, then in the
OFF position, measure from a known earth ground (metal water pipe,
conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the unit (antennas, handle bracket,
metal cabinet, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially
any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis.
Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Reverse the unit power
cord plug in the outlet and repeat test. ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN
THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZ ARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED BEFORE RETURNING THE UNIT TO
THE CUSTOMER.
B. Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug the power supply and
connect a jumper wire between the two prongs of the plug. (2) Turn on the
power switch of the unit. (3) Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter be-
tween the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the
unit. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the
reading should be between 1 and 5.2 Megohms. When there is no return path
to the chassis, the reading must be “infinite”. If it is not within the limits specified,
there is the possibility of a shock hazard, and the unit must be repaired and re checked before it is returned to the customer.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESDS)
DEVICE HANDLING
This unit contains ESDS devices. We recommend the following precautions when repairing,
replacing, or transporting ESDS devices:
• Perform work at an electrically grounded work station.
• Wear wrist straps that connect to the station or heel straps that connect to conductive floor
mats.
• Avoid touching the leads or contacts of ESDS devices or PC boards even if properly
grounded. Handle boards by the edges only.
• Transport or store ESDS devices in ESD protective bags, bins, or totes. Do not insert unprotected devices into materials such as plastic, polystyrene foam, clear plastic bags, bubble wrap
or plastic trays.

THEORY OF OPERATION
These Equalizer cards are designed to be installed into the AmPlus™ 50 and 100 amplifiers
and the Bose® 1600 Series VI and 1800 Series V/VI amplifiers. The EQ cards included in this
service manual are as follows; 402
III, Model 1B, Model 8, Model 25/32, Panaray
FreeSpace® 360 Surface and In Ground.
The FreeSpace 360 loudspeaker requires equalization, and this equalization is a function of the
installation. There are two variants of the card that implement EQ curves for these
installation situations:
• In Ground (when the FreeSpace 360 loudspeaker is mounted in the ground).
The appropriate EQ curve for soft or hard ground is selected with a slide switch on the card.
When S1 is in the SOFT position, the Soft Ground EQ is used; when S1 is in the HARD
position, the Hard Ground EQ is used.
• In the Surface variant, S1 is omitted and jumpered to the SURFACE position.
Note: Refer to the FreeSpace 360 Surface or In-Ground schematic diagrams, as appropriate,
for the following explanation. The designators inside the brackets "[ ]" are the schematic grid
coordinates which are provided in order to make it easier to locate components on the
schematic sheet indicated in the description. Components shown on the schematic as
OPT (optional) are not used in that particular configuration. Also refer to the EQ curves on
page 7 of this manual for an overview of the frequency response of each of the 360 applications.
The input signal is applied to these cards at JP1 pin 4. The first section at the input, U2-B [D7],
combines a first order high-pass filter with one section of a parametric cut filter. The parametric
is set for -15dB at 27 Hz and provides a steep slope below about 80 Hz The equalization is
segmented, with one block (U2 and U1), all sections [D1-8] dedicated to bass region equalization. Following the output of this section, U2-A [D1], the signal is presented to two parallel
equalization paths, one comprised of U3 [B4-7], U4-B [C3], and dedicated to EQ for mounting in
soft ground of the FreeSpace 360 loudspeaker. The other path, comprised of U5 [B4-7],
U4-A [B3] provides equalization for the FreeSpace 360 loudspeaker in hard ground installations. In the case of the FreeSpace Surface EQ card, the bottom leg of the equalizer card is not
used.
The operation of all three equalizers is similar. Considering the bass equalizer, we see U2-B's
[D7] output passed through R8 [D7] and into the non-inverting input of U2-A [D2]. This input is
extended as a bus to which EQ sections Bass 1 [D6] and Bass 2 [D5] are connected. These
will introduce dips into the audio response to provide bass cut as required. Sections Bass 3
[D4] and Bass 4 [D3] are connected to a bus extended from the inverting input of U2-A [D2]
and provide bass boost. See Figures 1,2 and 3 for the EQ curves for the various equalizer
cards.
Each of the EQ sections utilizes a gyrator-connected op-amp in conjunction with a series
capacitance to simulate an LCR series tuned circuit. The values of the capacitors and resistors
are chosen to implement EQ dips and/or peaks at the appropriate frequency, amplitude and Q
to realize the desired EQ curves. On the In-Ground EQ card, S1 [B2] selects either the HARD
or the SOFT mount EQ curve.
The output signal is taken from JP1 pin 5, and returns to the amplifier. The equalizer cards are
sensed by the amplifiers as follows. In the AmPlus 50 and 100 amplifiers, Pin 12 of J1 [B2] is
grounded and is sensed by the dynamic EQ circuit on sheet 2 of the AmPlus 50 and 100
schematic diagrams. In the 1600/1800 amplifiers, the input module detects the presence of EQ
cards via J7-6 and J6-6. Without the card installed these pins are pulled high (+15V). This logic
high signal is also applied to the control pins of the switch ICs which selects the A
(unequalized) input. When an EQ is plugged into J7 and/or J6 pin 6, the EQ is detected and
pulls the control pin low (+7.5V), turning on the corresponding LED(s) and switching the IC to
the B input which will then select the output of the EQ card to be passed on to the amplifier.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Model 1B EQ card is intended for use in the AmPlus™ 50 and 100 amplifiers as well as the
1800 V, 1600 and 1800 VI professional amplifiers. It accepts a full range (50 Hz to 16 kHz)
signal, equalizes it, and passes a full range signal back to the main amplifier signal path.
®
Refer to the FreeSpace
information.
Note: The designators inside the brackets “[ ]” are the schematic grid coordinates which are
provided in order to make it easier to locate components on the schematic sheet indicated in
the description.
The equalization is segmented, with one block (U2 and U1, all sections [D1-8]) dedicated to
bass region equalization for the Model 1B Bass module. Following the output of this section,
U2A [D1], the signal is presented to two parallel equalization paths, one comprised of U3 [B47], U4A [4-7], U4B [C3], and dedicated to EQ for surface mounted Bose
satellite speakers (Model 25 and 32). The other path, comprised of U5 [B4-7], U4A [B3] provides equalization for Bose Model 8 flush-mount satellite speakers.
The operation of all three equalizers is similar. Considering the bass equalizer, we see U2B’s
[D7] output passed through R8 [D7] and the non-inverting input of U2A [D2]. This input is
extended as a bus to which EQ sections bass 1 [D6] and Bass 2 [D5] are connected. These
will introduce dips into the audio response. Section Bass 3 [D4] is connected to a potentiometer
straddling U2A non-inverting and inverting inputs. When the wiper is moved toward the noninverting input, the section introduces a dip; when moved toward the inverting input, a peak.

FreeSpace System
Each of the EQ sections utilizes a gyrator-connected op amp in conjunction with a series
capacitor to simulate an LCR series tuned circuit. The values of the capacitors and resistors
are chosen to implement EQ curves. Each EQ section has optional steering resistors that
could allow other curves to be implemented in the future with the same card. There are also
some spare sections not currently used.
S1 [B2] selects either the FLUSH or the SURFACE mount EQ curve, while potentiometer R33
[D1] provides a boost/cut range of adjustment of the 90 Hz bass region.
