General Description<br />

The <strong>Bose</strong><br />

Component Description<br />

®<br />

<strong>Acoustic</strong> <strong>Wave</strong> ®<br />

<strong>Cannon</strong> TM<br />

system <strong>II</strong> (AWCS <strong>II</strong>) loudspeaker is the<br />

bass component for installed <strong>Bose</strong> sound<br />

systems designed for high quality<br />

reinforcement of voice and music. The<br />

AWCS <strong>II</strong> includes system equalization,<br />

when combined with a <strong>Panaray</strong> ®<br />

system<br />

digital controller. This provides smooth,<br />

accurate spectral response across the<br />

entire operating range of the AWCS <strong>II</strong><br />

system while providing loudspeaker<br />

protection on two independent mid/high<br />

frequency signal channels. Fourth order<br />

subsonic and ultrasonic band-limiting<br />

filters use power efficiently, reducing<br />

harmonic distortion and high-excursion<br />

cone instability.<br />

The <strong>Acoustic</strong> <strong>Wave</strong> ®<br />

<strong>Cannon</strong> system <strong>II</strong><br />

loudspeaker provides extended bandwidth<br />

high performance in permanent<br />

installations. When mounted near solid<br />

walls, ceilings, or floors its acoustic<br />

bass-loading delivers greater lowfrequency<br />

sound pressure.<br />

Each AWCS <strong>II</strong> enclosure houses a single<br />

high-power twelve-inch woofer, mounted<br />

between two different length<br />

waveguides. Molded flanges include<br />

steel reinforcing plates that provide<br />

secure mounting points.<br />

The <strong>Panaray</strong> system digital controller<br />

provides crossover functions, active<br />

electronic equalization, and dual-channel<br />

signal processing for the AWCS <strong>II</strong><br />

system.<br />

1<br />

Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the <strong>Panaray</strong> system digital controller and amplified to a level at the speaker terminals corresponding to the long-term rated power handling of the<br />

speaker. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the long tube of the speaker in an anechoic environment.<br />

2<br />

Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the <strong>Panaray</strong> system digital controller and amplified to a level at the speaker terminals corresponding to one watt as referenced to the nominal<br />

impedance. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the long tube of the speaker in an anechoic environment.<br />

3<br />

Full bandwidth noise, meeting the International Electrotechnical Commission standard #268-5, is applied to the <strong>Panaray</strong> system digital controller and amplified to a voltage at the<br />

speaker terminals corresponding to the power handling of the speaker. The speaker must show no visible or measurable loss of performance after 100 hours of continuous testing.

Architects’ Specifications<br />

The low-frequency device shall be a lightweight<br />

double barrel enclosure that uses<br />

two waveguides as the acoustic vehicle.<br />

The transducer shall consist of one (1)<br />

woofer of 12" (30 cm) diameter, mounted<br />

between the flanges that join the two<br />

waveguides. The waveguide design of the<br />

barrel shall limit cone excursion to<br />

1" (2.54 cm) p-p, to reduce distortion. The<br />

operating frequency range shall be 25Hz<br />

to 125Hz. The input connector, located on<br />

the driver flange of the short barrel, shall<br />

be 2-conductor spade lugs (barrier strips).<br />

The maximum acoustic output of the bass<br />

enclosure shall be 109dB-SPL from 25Hz<br />

to 125Hz, with measurements referenced<br />

to a full-bandwidth pink noise input at<br />

1 meter at the enclosure’s rated power.<br />

Its power handling capacity shall be<br />

300 watts continuous, referenced to IEC<br />

noise for 100 hours.<br />
