Hi - The Bose 502C Controller equalizes the speakers for optimum sound quality, and also provides a crossover.
I would only bypass it if you have another EQ that you can program to emulate the same settings.
You will need 6 Band Parametric EQ + LF roll-off and maybe HF roll-off to enter these settings.
Here are the settings for the high speakers (502A):
LOW CUT BW 18dB/Oct - 112Hz
HIGH CUT BW 24dB/Oct - 20kHz
Parametric EQ:
Boost 2.5dB BW 0.7 Freq 126 Hz
Cut 5.1dB BW 1.6 Freq 282 Hz
Cut 2.4dB BW 1.7 Freq 799 Hz
Cut 3.5dB BW 2.2 Freq 2.51 kHz
Boost 6.3dB BW 0.9 Freq 5.01 kHz
Boost 12.9dB BW 1.25 Freq 14.1 kHz
This should sound exactly like the 502C sounds.
Cheers Craig

Hello,Do you still have the Bose unit as I am after one. Thanks
Could someone explain exactly what a Bose "controller" does please? I have sort of inherited one for our church PA system and need to understand what it does and whether I actually need it or not?
Thanks,
