Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the 402-II speaker and amplified to a level at the loudspeaker terminals corresponding to 1 watt as referenced to the nominal impedance. The average
sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.
2
Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the 402-II speaker and amplified to a level at the loudspeaker terminals corresponding to the long-term rated power handling of the speaker. The average
sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.

Full bandwidth pink noise, meeting International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard
#268-5, with a spectrum corresponding to average program material.
4
Full bandwidth noise, meeting the IEC Standard #268-5 is applied to the 402-II speaker and
amplified to a level at the loudspeaker terminals corresponding to the power handling of the
loudspeaker. The loudspeaker must show no visible damage or measurable loss of performance
after 100 hours of continuous testing.
•A rugged, portable enclosure with
metal grille
• Slim, aesthetic styling in black or
white
• Weather-resistant design to ensure
reliable performance indoors and
outdoors
•A full complement of brackets and
stands available for a variety of
product uses
Each 402 Series II loudspeaker uses
four (4) 11.34 cm full-range drivers
mounted in symmetric vertical pairs
on a faceted Articulated Array
®
loudspeaker baffle assembly. The
drivers feature low-impedance, edgewound Ferrite V ceramic magnets,
and molded polyester frames. Their
advanced cone and motor system
gives them high linear excursion
capability and power output. Environmental durability is built into soft
parts – cone, surround and spider –
and coated onto the hard parts of the
driver. These materials optimize the
weather resistance of the loudspeaker when it is installed outdoors.
402 Series II loudspeakers are used
in combination with the PANARAY
®
system digital controller or the Bose
1600 or 1800 amplifiers. The amplifiers work in combination with the 402
plug-in EQ card to provide active
equalization for the system.
The PANARAY system digital controller assures smooth, accurate spectral

response across the operating range
of the 402® Series II loudspeaker.
Using a controller or EQ card also
allows for crossover of the 402
Series II loudspeaker with a Bose

bass loudspeaker.

Loudspeaker Configuration
The 402 Series II loudspeaker can be
used with the Bose 1600 and 1800
amplifiers. It is also compatible with
industry standard amplifiers rated for
4-8Ω loads.
The 402 speaker is packaged one per
carton.
