Amar Bose, The Legendary Electrical / Sound Engineer Passes Away
Dr. Amar Bose, known all over the world as the founder of Bose Corporation has passed away. The legendary electrical / sound engineer who redefined the music for audiophiles breathed the last on July 12, 2013. Bob Maresca, President of Bose Corporation issued a statement saying "It's impossible to put into words what Dr. Bose meant to each of us, and to Bose (corporation). He was more than our Chairman. He was our teacher - always encouraging us, always believing that we could do great things, and that anything was possible.
Dr. Bose founded Bose corporation almost 50 years ago with a set of guiding principles that never changed, and never will. Bose Corporation will remain privately held, and stay true to his ideals. We are as committed to this as he was to us. His vision is our history, and our future, and Bose corporation will forever be his company."
Dr. Bose was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology for most of his life. Born on November 2, 1929 to Noni Gopal Bose and an American mother, Bose was entreprenurial right from his teen-age days. Later in his life, he got elected as the fellow of IEEE, 1972 for his contributions to the loudspeaker design, 2-state amplifier modulators and nonlinear systems.
In 2010, he won the IEEE/RSE Wolfson James Clerk Maxwell Award for 'outstanding contributions to consumer electronics in sound reproduction, industrial leadership and engineering education". In 2011, MIT listed him at #9 in the MIT150 list of top 150 innovators from MIT.
RIP, Dr. Bose. Thank you for your contributions to the world of audio.
