March: Volume Spikes Resolution
- 2004/03/13
- We are happy to announce that we have identified the root cause of the “volume spike” problem for some of the Personalized Amplification System™ PS1 power stands. A few owners and regular forum contributors have been extraordinarily helpful in helping us track down this unusual bug, and we send out a huge thanks to them. This is a level of cooperation that is rarely found in any industry.
- The problem is resolved by using a new remote control that we will provide to all affected customers free of charge.

In November 2003 we began work on a design. It has taken up to NOW to get new product included with B1 cass module carry bags. As seen in a rendering earlier in this thread, they are really a nice "slip cover" to go over your B1 Bass Module. It's constructed so the same beefy handle can be used to carry the product, now just under a cover.

- We are pleased to report that an unexpectedly large number of musicians have adopted the entirely new approach to amplification we introduced one year ago.
- Moreover, many of these owners have gone to great lengths to explain the benefits of the Personalized Amplification System™ approach to other musicians. We believe you need spend only a few minutes reading their unedited remarks at www.bose.com/musicians to reach the same conclusion.
- As a result of their ongoing effort, we have decided to say thank you to this extraordinary community of musicians with a special one-time gift.
- Anyone who is currently an owner, or anyone who purchases a Cylindrical Radiator™ loudspeaker by December 31, 2004, is entitled to receive a pair of Bose® TriPort® headphones.
- These acclaimed headphones, which retail for $149, deliver exceptional sound quality to your personal listening experience. Their ability to faithfully reproduce even the most demanding music makes them perfect for both careful monitoring and casual listening.
- With thanks and appreciation,
- The Bose® Live Music Technology Group

Year 2008
January: Larry Lambert & Rick Jordan at the Bose Auditorium
- 2008/01/04
Bose Corporation is pleased to host two outstanding musical artists from the Appalachian South as part of their Cornucopia concert series in the Corporate Center auditorium.
If you enjoy beautiful songs beautifully rendered by voice and guitar, you are in for an exceptional evening of music by two seasoned professionals playing individually and together.
Hailing from Lexington Kentucky, Larry Lambert has been a singer most all of his life, performing solo for the first time at the age of four. Church and school were the training grounds and Larry sang at every opportunity in these venues.
Larry is a ballad singer. His repertoire includes many songs, old and new, from many different genres and writers, most all with a down home common sense message or story that can be told time and time again.
He’s shared the same stage with Don McLean, The Dirt Band, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, Bobby Bare and others. These and other artists such as Ricky Nelson, Dean Martin, Kristofferson, Dylan, Lightfoot, Billy Joe Shaver, JJ Cale, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Jr. and Sr. have all influenced his singing style and song selection, but still, everything comes out distinctly Larry in a style that crosses the boundaries of gospel, country, folk, bluegrass, blues and old time rock and roll.
Rick Jordan is minister of music at Thomasville Georgia’s First Baptist Church. In addition to his church work, Rick performs as an entertainer throughout the country and internationally.
Rick’s repertoire includes country and folk songs, 50’s music, showtunes, hymns and original compositions.
We plan to have other Bose message board luminaries perform in future concerts.
