Amar G. Bose, founder and chairman of the audio technology company
Bose Corp., known for the rich sound of its small tabletop radios and
its noise-canceling headphones popular among frequent fliers, died July
12 at his home in Wayland, Mass. He was 83.
The death was announced by the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, where Dr. Bose began his acoustics research and was on the
faculty for more than 40 years.
Dr. Bose started a research program in physical acoustics and
psychoacoustics, leading to the development of patents in acoustics,
electronics, nonlinear systems and communication theory.
Starting in the 1980s, high-end auto makers including Ferrari, Audi,
Mercedes and Porsche began including Bose systems in their cars. Bose
sound systems can also be found in such varied locations as the Sistine
Chapel, the Japan National Theatre and the Superdome in New Orleans.
