2.0 Introduction
The Bose
®
FreeSpace
®
system controller (Model 8/32) works with Bose FreeSpace Model
8, Model 25, Model 32, and the Bose 102
®
loudspeakers to provide a highly flexible, multi-
zone music and paging system. It features three source channels (two music, one paging)
with Bose active equalization. Bose Opti-voice
®
circuitry gradually mutes music before
paging, then returns music volume to the previous level. Both output channels provide
equalized and unequalized output to simultaneously power the FreeSpace Model 8 and
Model 32, Model 25, or Bose 102 loudspeakers, or another system, like the Bose
FreeSpace
®
business music system.
All Bose FreeSpace Model 8, Model 32, Model 25, and Bose 102 loudspeakers, except
the 4
Ω
Model 32 and the 4
Ω
Model 25, require a Bose approved equalizer, such as this
controller. Using the loudspeakers without an approved equalizer causes inferior acoustic
performance and may damage the loudspeakers. This controller is the only equalizer
approved for use with the FreeSpace Model 8 or Model 32 loudspeakers in fire protective
signaling and warning systems (see Section B.2, “Fire protective signaling”).

Unpacking the controller
Carefully unpack the controller (Figure 1). Save the carton and packaging. If the controller
