Wave® music system
- Ideal for home or office listening
- CD player, FM/AM tuner, headphone jack, alarm clock
- Convincing sound and impressive lows, especially for its size
- Contemporary design with all controls on convenient remote
The acclaimed Wave® music system still sets the standard for quality audio and ease of use among one-piece, table top radios and bookshelf stereos. Its award-winning design adds a touch of distinction to almost any room. It's no surprise so many people use it as their main home entertainment system for music listening.
Bose® technology at work
Unique Bose innovations account for this compact Wave system's hearty sound. Proprietary waveguide speaker technology combines with other Bose technologies to deliver performance well beyond the speakers' size. Forbes FYI says, "you'll think you're listening to a ... system that costs five times more."
Simplicity by design
The Wave® music system was engineered for easy enjoyment, right out of the box. No setup required: just plug it in and you're ready to go. The FM/AM radio and CD player are built in. There's an auxiliary input for your MP3 or other portable player, and a headphone jack for keeping the music to yourself.
The system's sleek appearance is uninterrupted by buttons, with all controls on a handy, slim remote. The large display panel is brightly lit and easy to read, prominently displaying the artist, title and album names of your MP3 CDs.
Features
Proprietary waveguide speaker technology enables full-bodied sound, especially in lower registers, for more natural-sounding bass and percussion instruments.
Slim infrared remote control lets you conveniently control system functions from just about anywhere in the room.
Slot-loaded CD player easily loads CDs or MP3 CDs. The front-loading design permits more placement options than traditional bookshelf stereos.

I love my Bose Wave system! I especially like loading it up with 4 CD's and just letting the music play while I do paperwork. It has a great tone quality, whether for CD's or the radio. Plus there are not a lot of wires or clutter. It fits neatly in the corner and matches the decor. When I can, I want to get the i-Pod attachment. The product is well worth the price.

I ordered your product with much trepidation but when it arrived and I discovered how easy it was to get it up and running I was very impressed. Then when I listened to the sampling CD and the radio I was totally blown away. I replaced a very old cluncky multi-component stereo system/cabinet which took up a lot of room in our dining room, including the large speakers, with the Bose system which is neat and compact and now resides on a beautiful new three-drawer chest (which holds my large CD collection) without all the clutter. The sound is phenomenal!!! The only thing I can fault is that there is not an option to shuffle random track play throughout all the 4 CDs in the system rather then shuffling tracks just individually per single CD. With the system fully loaded with 4 CDs it would be nice to have the option to randomly play tracks from each of them.

I like the system but I don't believe it lives up to all the hype. Sound is good but at times just delivers too much bass. Overall I am satisfied with the product and if I had a chance to do the purchase over again I would.
