Getting to Know Bose Home Theater Systems
Bose has been making entertainment systems for home use since 1964. The home theater systems typically consist of a mixture of speakers, subwoofers, and soundbars. Here is what you should know about the Bose home theater systems for sale on eBay.
The affordable Bose home theater systems use various system configurations or channel, including:
- 2.0 channels: A 2.0-channel system uses two speakers to produce sound. One speaker is set on the right side of the television, while the other one is set to the left side of it.
- 2.1 channels: A 2.1-channel setup is the same as the 2.0 but with a subwoofer added to produce a low-frequency or bass sound.
- 5.1 Channels: The 5.1-channel system uses five speakers along with a subwoofer. This type of setup is to support Dolby digital movie theater sounds. The center speaker is usually dedicated to reproducing the dialogue and music vocals in the movies and music videos.
- 6.1 Channels: The 6.1 is the same as the 5.1 setups but with an additional speaker. The sound effects in the movie like cars driving and bullet flying are highly amplified with a 6.1-channel system.
The parts that make up the home theater system can be connected using wires or they can connect to each other through Bose home theater wireless systems.
