1.0 E4 Introduction
1.1 The Bose®FreeSpace®E4 Series II
business music system
The Bose FreeSpace E4 Series II system is an integrated four-
channel digital signal processor and 400-watt power amplifier for
70/100V business music applications.
The E4 system has a total of four source inputs, including two
Line In, one Mic/Line and one Mic/Page/Line, to provide the
inputs needed for most business music installations. The system
also has a direct input which can override the sources playing on
all four output channels.
The E4 system has four amplifier output channels which can be
configured for different zones. A Music on Hold output is also
provided for simple integration into a phone system.
In a single chassis, it provides all of the processing and control
features required for one-to-four zone business music applica-
tions. These features include:
•Auto Volume: When used with the optional FreeSpace system
Auto Volume Sense Mic, E4 system electronics dynamically
control the program level in each zone so your customers can
always hear it, regardless of the background noise.
•Scheduling: Allows you to program the E4 system electronics
for automated on/off control, source changes, and volume
changes according to time of day or day of week.
•Multi-Zone Paging: Allows you to initiate a page from a single
keypad to one or more of the zones being powered by the
same E4 system.
•Opti-voice®Paging: Provides a smooth transition between
music and page signals.
•Opti-source®Input Leveling: Monitors the input level of up to
four sources and continually makes adjustments to maintain a
consistent volume level between different sources.
•Dynamic Equalization: Maintains tonal balance at all listening
levels.
•Room Equalization: Provides easy adjustment of tonal bal-
ance in each zone.
•Signal Routing: Meets the demands of most four-zone sys-
tems, allowing for an input source to be routed to any of the
four amplifier outputs.
•Serial Data Interface: RS-232 serial port for easy interfacing
to your PC
•Remote On/Off Input: Accepts a remote STANDBY switch
The integrated 400-watt power amplifier features a patented
power-sharing technology which dynamically allocates power to
each output.
For example, if you have a two-zone system that requires 5 watts
in Zone 1 and 395 watts in Zone 2, the FreeSpace E4 system
electronics distributes the power based on those needs.
The E4 also includes an easy-to-replace memory module, which
holds the system configuration settings and design file uploaded
by the FreeSpace Installer™ software (see page 14).
1.2 E4 system accessories
Optional Bose accessories for the E4 system are available.

2.0 Designing with the E4 System
2.1 Introduction
This section describes the basic steps for designing an E4 sys-
tem and includes an example. It is assumed that a complete
loudspeaker design and layout has already been created.
2.2 Basic design steps
There are five basic steps in designing an E4 system.
2.2.1 Step 1 – Determine source routing
Decide which sources will be played in each area. Create a
“source map” such as the following one that shows which
sources will be played in each major area of the facility.
2.2.2 Step 2 – Determine Auto Volume
requirements
Identify which areas will use Auto Volume. Each Auto Volume
zone must use one Auto Volume user interface and one Bose®
sensing microphone to control the volume. A 70/100V volume
control cannot be used.
When using Auto Volume, remember that you will be adjusting
the volume of an overall area. Imagine that you have a dining area
and a bar adjacent to one another. If the sensing microphone is
placed above the bar, the music may become too loud in the din-
ing area. Likewise, if you place the sensing microphone above
the dining area, the music may never be heard in the bar.
Guidelines for establishing Auto Volume zones
Speaker mounting height and the overall quality of the back-
ground noise is used to determine the Auto Volume zoning
requirements. Uniform background noise is found in an area
where no part of the area is louder or quieter than any other. A
room with non-uniform background noise would seem louder in
some areas (people talking, machinery running, etc.) and quieter
in others.
Mounting guidelines for sensing microphones
• The sensing microphone must be mounted at the same height
as the loudspeakers or higher. A sensing microphone must
never be mounted lower than the speaker height.
• In all cases, there must be 6 ft (1.8 m), minimum, between the
loudspeaker and the sensing microphone. This is so that the
microphone does not receive signals only from a loudspeaker.
• There must be 35 ft (10.7 m), minimum, between the sensing
microphones of two adjacent Auto Volume zones.
• Avoid placing the microphone near unique noise sources like
HVAC equipment, dishwashers, motors, etc.
Separating the microphones as much as possible for two zones
is the best practice. Consider the previous example of the dining
area and a bar adjacent to one another. If each of these areas
uses Auto Volume, it is possible to create a situation in the dining
area where the music is too loud simply because the microphone

2.2.3 Step 3 – Determine volume
control requirements
Decide which areas will have volume controls. Create a control
map, such as the following, showing the types of controls that
will be used, and the areas in which they will be installed.
Standard and Auto Volume interfaces are available for use with
the E4 hardware. Each offers control over source selection and
volume. The Standard interface contains a Mute button, and the
Auto Volume interface contains an Auto Volume on/off button. If
you have identified an area that uses Auto Volume, you must use
an Auto Volume interface to control this zone.
It is also possible to use 70/100V volume controls between the
amplifier output and the speaker. If you plan to use 70/100V con-
trols, be aware that they cannot be used in zones where either
Auto Volume or Dynamic EQ is used. Auto Volume and Dynamic
EQ monitor the amplifier output and make adjustments accord-
ingly. Using a 70/100V volume control would cause these func-
tions to operate improperly.
When determining the placement or physical location of the con-
trols, first think about how the control is used. If the control is
very rarely used or it requires a secure location, it should be
placed with the equipment. If the control is for an area that
requires frequent adjustments, then it is best to place the control
in the area being controlled.
2.2.4 Step 4 – Determine the speaker
requirements
Determine the speaker coverage required for the design. Con-
sider the following points as you do this:
• Each Auto Volume function requires a separate zone. Each
Auto Volume zone requires the dedicated use of one E4 output
channel.
• Each type of actively equalized speaker requires the dedicated
use of one E4 output channel. If you are designing a system
that uses actively equalized speakers, such as the 102®F
speaker, Model 32, Model 32SE, or Model 8, you must dedi-
cate one E4 output channel for each speaker type.
Create a speaker map, such as the following, and match the
speaker models to areas (Speaker Qty x Tap = Zone Power
required):

2.0 Designing with the E4 System
2.2.5 Step 5 – Determine the E4
requirements
Once you have identified the areas that use Auto Volume and
unique loudspeakers, you can combine different areas based on
the types of sources and controls they are using.
Now we can take a look at how the maps we created can help us
determine the quantity of E4s we will need.
Total System Power = 250W
By combining the maps you can easily combine sources, speaker types, and control types. The information placed
in this table suggests that Area 1 and Area 3 need to be grouped separately because they are Auto Volume zones
requiring separate E4 system outputs. Area 2 uses one standard volume control requiring one E4 output channel.
Areas 4 and 5 share a common volume control and can be combined on a third E4 output channel. Since only four
outputs are required and the total combined power requirement is less than 400W, only one E4 unit would be
needed for this system.
