Bose Home Audio Stereo Receivers

A home audio stereo receiver is an electrical component that decodes signals from a wide range of sources and transmits them as audio through headphones and speakers. They vary in size, style, component compatibility, output, and more. Bose home audio stereo receivers come in options like the Spatial Control receiver, the Lifestyle V30 5.1 Channel Home Theater system, and the Av 3-2-1 Home Theater receiver.

• Energy use: There is a wide range of Bose home receivers with different energy consumption capacities, ranging from under 50 watts to above 650 watts.
• Usability interface: The interface should be easy enough for you to navigate and understand its functions and how to operate it.
• Power: This refers to the ability of the device to bring out detailed and dynamic sound. It should be powerful enough to accommodate speakers in different rooms or locations.
• Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Airplay features: Wi-Fi is necessary if you want to stream your favorite music from your smart devices.

In order to get quality sound from your system, it is paramount to match up the capabilities on your devices with your speaker's needs. This will require that you take into consideration some of the speaker specifications outlined below.

• Energy consumption: In general terms, the more bass you want from your speakers, the greater the energy needed. There are specially designed high-sensitivity speakers that give off plenty of bass and yet are energy efficient.
• Sensitivity: This refers to how loud the audio device can play per given watt. A speaker with little sensitivity requires more energy for it to play loudly compared to a high-sensitivity speaker.
• Impedance: This is simply the amount of resistance given to the device's signal. At an impedance of eight ohms, the sound will work with a wide range of receivers. However, with lower numbers, you need more stable energy and, therefore, a more robust device.

Many people believe that more watts equals more power; however, this is a false notion, since many factors come into play. Some of these factors include the following:

• RMS: Root mean squared (RMS) refers to the nonstop strength that a device can sustain for a given period. The higher the RMS, the more robust the receiver.
• All-channels driven: A good quality device has a genuine output of watts-per-channel (WPC), as indicated on the unit in both stereo mode and surround sound mode, without any loss.
