A brief history of BozakBozak as a company was formed in the early 1950s by Rudy Bozak. As an electronic designer, he created several distinctive speaker designs over the years. In 1950 he was hired by a company called Mcintosh Laboratory to develop a driver for their speakers.

Over the next two years he made a variety of different driver designs, including one that was the core of the McIntosh F100 speaker system which sold quite well. Mcintosh however decided not to take his designs any further, which frustrated him as there was clearly a market for this. This lead him to found his own company, so he could focus on making high quality audio equipment. Over the next few decades, Bozak put out a variety of unique and creative audio products, many of which are still very highly rated today.

In 1977 Rudy Bozak sold the company, although he was kept on in a consultant role to oversee the production of new products. Rudy Bozak passed away in 1982, and the company was re-organised by his wife and son in law the following year. The company enjoyed a brief bit of renewed success thanks to this move, but after a series of disastrous decisions the company finally met an end in 1986.

The name was then bought up by Chinese buyers, who wanted to use the name to produce their own range of speakers. It was a sad end to what had been a very innovative company, but their products do still live on through their very good reputation. Now let’s take a look at some of their more popular models that they produced. Bozak Concert Grand Speakers The highlight of their lineup was the aptly named Concert Grand. This model was sold from the inception of the company, all the way until 1977.

It initially started out with mono models such as the B-310 and B-310A, and later moved onto stereo models such as the B-310B and the B-400 models. These models were all roughly refrigerator sized, and contained four 12″ woofers, one 8″ ohm midrange driver, and eight tweeters. The B-410 was probably the most popular model in this product range, however it did cost around $2000 which was a lot of money in the mid 1960’s. It came in three different design shapes including the Moorish (pictured), the Classic, and the Contemporary. These kinds of speakers were designed for filling out large areas, with Bozak stating that these sounded best when the listener was further than 20 feet away.

To be able to install third party apps on Samsung Smart TV, first you need to download APKs of the files and to be able to locate the APK file, you need to have a good File Manager installed on your Samsung Smart TV. As per my knowledge, no Android TV comes with a Stock File Manager by default. Built with internal memory these smart TVs also do buffering and the processor is enough to deal with the graphics. These smart TVs can be controlled using the voice commands or by some apps of smartphones. To root or hack your Samsung smart TV it must have the required hardware and software for rooting.

Today they are still quite popular, and get snapped up very fast on the second hand market. We should also mention that Bozak released the B-4000 Symphony a few years later, which was essentially a mini Concert Grand.

The B-4000 consisted of two 12″ woofers, one midrange, and the same eight vertically stacked tweeters. The Symphony also sold very well, and some reviews even suggested it provided a better audio experience than its big brother!Bozak B-302A Speakers The Bozak B-302A was a much more affordable speaker in their product range, which made it very popular for anyone looking for high quality speakers that didn’t cost a small fortune. These speakers consisted of a 12″ woofer, a tweeter pair and one midrange driver. The B-302A models came in a variety of cabinet styles, with the Moorish style (pictured) proving to be one of the more popular choices.

There was no minimum distance recommended to get the most out of these speakers, so they were a bit better in a smaller environment than their bigger cousins such as the Grand Concert. These speakers were produced for many years, and still sound really fantastic today if you can find a pair.Bozak CMA 10-2DL Mixer Speakers weren’t the only product that Bozak made, as they also started producing mixers in the early 1960s. This culminated in their best selling CMA 10-2DL mixer being released, which quickly grew in reputation due to the fantastic quality it offered. High quality Allen-Bradley components were used in the production of these units, and all the transistors were hand picked to ensure their quality.

The were also made using a modular kind of design, which helped to ensure easy servicing and expansion. These models were hugely popular with the rise of discotheques, and the company continued to make and sell them after the death of Rudy Bozak. Even today these models are still sought after, which goes to show how great their workmanship really was.SummarySo that is a look at some of the more popular models they sold over the years. If you are lucky enough to get hold of one of these items in good condition, make sure you hang onto it as these are collectors items now. They are part of a bygone era were quality was considered first, and built to last.

The Bozak company may be long gone, but their products will likely be around for a very long time.So where can you find them for sale? Ebay is often a good starting point, as you will occasionally find a decent quality model on there. Otherwise if you know of any audio stores near you that sell second hand speakers, it is worth asking them if they can keep an eye out for some.

Keep in mind though that some of these speaker systems are very big and heavy, so you will a suitable form of transport, and something like a platform trolley to help move them around. Bozak also had a speaker kit where you assembled the cabinet and wired the speaker yourself.

You got 2 speakers. My dad bought one of these sets and “built it himself”, and Mom still has it.

When completed the cabinets were about the height of a dining room table coming from the floor. This was either the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. Coupled with a Garrard record player and Maranatz receiver, you didn’t dare set the volume past 2 or 3 in your home.

If you did, something would blow out, and it would not be the cones of the Bozaks either. It’d be either the windows in the building or even worse your eardrums that would blow out. Just as the kitchen range was the heart of the rural country home in the U.S.A. Up to the 1940’s, the Bozaks were the heart of ours.Mom and Dad never moved to a different home without ’em. Many of times these speakers played Simon and Garfunkel, Minnie Rippleton, Jim Croce, Richie Havens, Carol King, and others along with a lot of Jazz, Soft Rock and EZ Listening.

Lord knows what might have happened if we played Rush, Quiet Riot or especially AC/DC’s song Thunderstruck through this way beyond Hi Fidelity speaker system.The difference between the Bozaks and other speakers, including most of the most high ones, was that they sounded so good, you’d swear it was live unless it was on vinyl. It was beyond “is it live or is it Memorex?”! You’d feel not as if you got front row seats at a concert, but instead as if you were right next to the performer/speaker either on stage or in the recording studio. Old Bozaks from the 60’s and 70’s often sound better than BRAND NEW Polk Audio,JBLs, & Harman Kardon,offerings today.

The sound was clearer than even some of the BEST Bluetooth speakers today. The only way to get better is to switch to Marshall Amplifiers or the ‘old school’ Peavey ones not the junk they sell today, and those two brands are generally sold only to Rock and Rap bands, not the home stereo market. If I remember right he bought his pair from Beatty Stereo, a now defunct dealer that sold NOTHING BUT the best in stereo.If I understand right Beatty Stereo (based in Kansas City) was the only place you could buy Bozaks in Missouri or Kansas for many years.If Mom decides to get rid of them or dies, I intended to get these, even if I have to buy ’em at an estate auction or something!

It doesn’t matter to me if I get little else.

Before I start on the repair, here are some notes on the Bozak. Firstly, I’m working off the same schematics as everyone else since I’ve only come across one version, but I’ll include them for the sake of completeness.All PCBs affix to the motherboard using 0.15″ spaced pins. I haven’t been able to locate a replacement for the original stamped sheet metal units with two mounting points. For my replacement cards I used a generic Molex KK254 style right angle pin header, which fit slightly tighter than the original units, being a square extrusion rather than stamped metal. I can’t comment on how the original connectors will hold up with larger pins, but I assembled and disassembled this unit a huge number of times throughout the job and no problems.

It feels much more solid. This unit has a motherboard labeled MB-4, which didn’t have mounting points for the bracket affixed to the output amps – a shame as they are top heavy and I’d prefer not to rely on foam for stability. There were a few different foam compounds in this unit which had either turned rock solid or disintegrated over the motherboard.Removal of the balance controls is an obvious change to make. The original mixer used a B50K pot with a 10K slugging/law resistor, which (25K 10K) more or less gives you a pot centre position voltage divider equivalent of 6K8 and 25K, with the 25K to ground. This means you wind up with a balance network loss of almost 2.2dB.Removing the pots does not require the installation of equivalent fixed resistors, in fact I’d advise against it. Start to finish, the mixer has headroom no human will come close to hitting.

I have driven 30VPk-Pk out of it with no issue. The increase of 2.2dB subsequently improves the noise floor and the removal of the pot also drops crosstalk between channels and increases the input impedance.If you don’t want the pots, just remove them and do not replace them with anything.This unit arrived with two different era of phono preamplifier cards, though all had the same PCB as identified by serial number. Two of the cards came with nice Beyschlag resistors as detailed in the original schematics. The newer units came across as built down to a much lower pricepoint, with generic looking carbon resistors and 10uF electrolytics replacing tantalum caps in positions C7 and C27.Since water damage affected the original uncoated film capacitors in the response network (C8/C28, C9/C29) I replaced these with matched polystyrene capacitors.All capacitors were changed, with the exception of a couple. The full list of capacitors and the replacements I used is here:2N3822 J-FETs in the summing and equaliser amplifiers had severe tin whiskers – though after cleaning I decided to keep them installed. I have a decent stash of original motorola units so I matched then taped four of them inside the mixer for a future repair if required.The Fset capacitors on the front panel equaliser PCB (C1,C11 C2,C12 C3/C13) were the only caps to make it through the process unscathed.The output amplifier is a solid Push-Pull output amplifier.

The trimpot adjusts the bias of the input stage, used to make sure the amp clips symmetrically. Gain is set by R7/R27, 220R is used for the nominal 28dB in the schematics.

To adjust the gain of the output amplifier change these resistors and recalibrate the bias trimpot. (Simulated) resistor changes are:(Note this table references my Pathos Mixer schematic, so the resistor is lised as R407, not R7/R27)(I also don’t recommend you use every value listed as changing the bias of the amp dramatically can affect the sound. I calculated them down to 0dB out of curiosity. In my Pathos mixers I used 750R)Interestingly, this unit arrived with different values. The two output cards are arranged by channel, with the front facing amplifier on the PCB taking care of the headphones and the rear amp handling the main outputs on the back.Transformer is a 36VCT unit. The power supply collapses in simulation at roughly 280mA.

It has a soft start, with roughly 7 seconds or so passing before the supply hits 40VDC. This PCB contains a 4P relay for Output and Headphone muting which is still easily available at cost, though I simply cleaned and actuated the relay a few times.The schematics floating around on the web split the motherboard other 2 files, so I stitched them together, you should be able to open and download a full sized version.The original front panel is Brushed aluminium, the remainder of the chassis being sheet steel – tough to machine with my setup. This steered me towards an isolator solution that took advantage of existing mounting holes.The knobs are Buckeye Shapeform DSN Series, still manufactured by the original company, though to my knowledge aren’t available for consumer purchase via any usual avenues.

It came in three different design shapes including the Moorish (pictured), the Classic, and the Contemporary. These kinds of speakers were designed for filling out large areas, with Bozak stating that these sounded best when the listener was further than 20 feet away.

Today they are still quite popular, and get snapped up very fast on the second hand market. We should also mention that Bozak released the B-4000 Symphony a few years later, which was essentially a mini Concert Grand.
The B-4000 consisted of two 12″ woofers, one midrange, and the same eight vertically stacked tweeters. The Symphony also sold very well, and some reviews even suggested it provided a better audio experience than its big brother!Bozak B-302A Speakers The Bozak B-302A was a much more affordable speaker in their product range, which made it very popular for anyone looking for high quality speakers that didn’t cost a small fortune. These speakers consisted of a 12″ woofer, a tweeter pair and one midrange driver. The B-302A models came in a variety of cabinet styles, with the Moorish style (pictured) proving to be one of the more popular choices.
There was no minimum distance recommended to get the most out of these speakers, so they were a bit better in a smaller environment than their bigger cousins such as the Grand Concert. These speakers were produced for many years, and still sound really fantastic today if you can find a pair.Bozak CMA 10-2DL Mixer Speakers weren’t the only product that Bozak made, as they also started producing mixers in the early 1960s. This culminated in their best selling CMA 10-2DL mixer being released, which quickly grew in reputation due to the fantastic quality it offered. High quality Allen-Bradley components were used in the production of these units, and all the transistors were hand picked to ensure their quality.
The were also made using a modular kind of design, which helped to ensure easy servicing and expansion. These models were hugely popular with the rise of discotheques, and the company continued to make and sell them after the death of Rudy Bozak. Even today these models are still sought after, which goes to show how great their workmanship really was.SummarySo that is a look at some of the more popular models they sold over the years. If you are lucky enough to get hold of one of these items in good condition, make sure you hang onto it as these are collectors items now. They are part of a bygone era were quality was considered first, and built to last.
The Bozak company may be long gone, but their products will likely be around for a very long time.So where can you find them for sale? Ebay is often a good starting point, as you will occasionally find a decent quality model on there. Otherwise if you know of any audio stores near you that sell second hand speakers, it is worth asking them if they can keep an eye out for some.
Keep in mind though that some of these speaker systems are very big and heavy, so you will a suitable form of transport, and something like a platform trolley to help move them around. Bozak also had a speaker kit where you assembled the cabinet and wired the speaker yourself.
You got 2 speakers. My dad bought one of these sets and “built it himself”, and Mom still has it.
When completed the cabinets were about the height of a dining room table coming from the floor. This was either the late 1960’s or early 1970’s. Coupled with a Garrard record player and Maranatz receiver, you didn’t dare set the volume past 2 or 3 in your home.
If you did, something would blow out, and it would not be the cones of the Bozaks either. It’d be either the windows in the building or even worse your eardrums that would blow out. Just as the kitchen range was the heart of the rural country home in the U.S.A. Up to the 1940’s, the Bozaks were the heart of ours.Mom and Dad never moved to a different home without ’em. Many of times these speakers played Simon and Garfunkel, Minnie Rippleton, Jim Croce, Richie Havens, Carol King, and others along with a lot of Jazz, Soft Rock and EZ Listening.
Lord knows what might have happened if we played Rush, Quiet Riot or especially AC/DC’s song Thunderstruck through this way beyond Hi Fidelity speaker system.The difference between the Bozaks and other speakers, including most of the most high ones, was that they sounded so good, you’d swear it was live unless it was on vinyl. It was beyond “is it live or is it Memorex?”! You’d feel not as if you got front row seats at a concert, but instead as if you were right next to the performer/speaker either on stage or in the recording studio. Old Bozaks from the 60’s and 70’s often sound better than BRAND NEW Polk Audio,JBLs, & Harman Kardon,offerings today.
The sound was clearer than even some of the BEST Bluetooth speakers today. The only way to get better is to switch to Marshall Amplifiers or the ‘old school’ Peavey ones not the junk they sell today, and those two brands are generally sold only to Rock and Rap bands, not the home stereo market. If I remember right he bought his pair from Beatty Stereo, a now defunct dealer that sold NOTHING BUT the best in stereo.If I understand right Beatty Stereo (based in Kansas City) was the only place you could buy Bozaks in Missouri or Kansas for many years.If Mom decides to get rid of them or dies, I intended to get these, even if I have to buy ’em at an estate auction or something!
It doesn’t matter to me if I get little else.
Before I start on the repair, here are some notes on the Bozak. Firstly, I’m working off the same schematics as everyone else since I’ve only come across one version, but I’ll include them for the sake of completeness.All PCBs affix to the motherboard using 0.15″ spaced pins. I haven’t been able to locate a replacement for the original stamped sheet metal units with two mounting points. For my replacement cards I used a generic Molex KK254 style right angle pin header, which fit slightly tighter than the original units, being a square extrusion rather than stamped metal. I can’t comment on how the original connectors will hold up with larger pins, but I assembled and disassembled this unit a huge number of times throughout the job and no problems.
It feels much more solid. This unit has a motherboard labeled MB-4, which didn’t have mounting points for the bracket affixed to the output amps – a shame as they are top heavy and I’d prefer not to rely on foam for stability. There were a few different foam compounds in this unit which had either turned rock solid or disintegrated over the motherboard.Removal of the balance controls is an obvious change to make. The original mixer used a B50K pot with a 10K slugging/law resistor, which (25K 10K) more or less gives you a pot centre position voltage divider equivalent of 6K8 and 25K, with the 25K to ground. This means you wind up with a balance network loss of almost 2.2dB.Removing the pots does not require the installation of equivalent fixed resistors, in fact I’d advise against it. Start to finish, the mixer has headroom no human will come close to hitting.
I have driven 30VPk-Pk out of it with no issue. The increase of 2.2dB subsequently improves the noise floor and the removal of the pot also drops crosstalk between channels and increases the input impedance.If you don’t want the pots, just remove them and do not replace them with anything.This unit arrived with two different era of phono preamplifier cards, though all had the same PCB as identified by serial number. Two of the cards came with nice Beyschlag resistors as detailed in the original schematics. The newer units came across as built down to a much lower pricepoint, with generic looking carbon resistors and 10uF electrolytics replacing tantalum caps in positions C7 and C27.Since water damage affected the original uncoated film capacitors in the response network (C8/C28, C9/C29) I replaced these with matched polystyrene capacitors.All capacitors were changed, with the exception of a couple. The full list of capacitors and the replacements I used is here:2N3822 J-FETs in the summing and equaliser amplifiers had severe tin whiskers – though after cleaning I decided to keep them installed. I have a decent stash of original motorola units so I matched then taped four of them inside the mixer for a future repair if required.The Fset capacitors on the front panel equaliser PCB (C1,C11 C2,C12 C3/C13) were the only caps to make it through the process unscathed.The output amplifier is a solid Push-Pull output amplifier.
The trimpot adjusts the bias of the input stage, used to make sure the amp clips symmetrically. Gain is set by R7/R27, 220R is used for the nominal 28dB in the schematics.
To adjust the gain of the output amplifier change these resistors and recalibrate the bias trimpot. (Simulated) resistor changes are:(Note this table references my Pathos Mixer schematic, so the resistor is lised as R407, not R7/R27)(I also don’t recommend you use every value listed as changing the bias of the amp dramatically can affect the sound. I calculated them down to 0dB out of curiosity. In my Pathos mixers I used 750R)Interestingly, this unit arrived with different values. The two output cards are arranged by channel, with the front facing amplifier on the PCB taking care of the headphones and the rear amp handling the main outputs on the back.Transformer is a 36VCT unit. The power supply collapses in simulation at roughly 280mA.
It has a soft start, with roughly 7 seconds or so passing before the supply hits 40VDC. This PCB contains a 4P relay for Output and Headphone muting which is still easily available at cost, though I simply cleaned and actuated the relay a few times.The schematics floating around on the web split the motherboard other 2 files, so I stitched them together, you should be able to open and download a full sized version.The original front panel is Brushed aluminium, the remainder of the chassis being sheet steel – tough to machine with my setup. This steered me towards an isolator solution that took advantage of existing mounting holes.The knobs are Buckeye Shapeform DSN Series, still manufactured by the original company, though to my knowledge aren’t available for consumer purchase via any usual avenues.
