Popular Science called the original WAVE® radio by Bose "a sonic marvel." Now, the WAVE® music system builds on the achievements of its acclaimed predecessor to set a whole new standard in audio performance, simplicity and elegant design. This innovative music system provides lush, room-filling sound from a system so small and simple to use, it fits almost anywhere.

Enjoy crisper, more accurate sound

The WAVE® music system reproduces one-half octave lower musical notes and delivers even greater clarity and definition than the original WAVE® radio/CD. With its deeper tones and even more lifelike sound, you might just feel like you're sitting in the front row.

Inside, our new proprietary waveguide speaker technology combines with other BOSE® technologies to deliver enhanced performance - at all listening levels. You'll hear the same clear musical nuances whether you turn the volume up or keep it soft.

You'll also enjoy the full depth and range of every vocal or instrument on MP3 CDs, CD-R/RWs, and conventional CDs. Listen to CDs created on your computer and take advantage of the digital MP3 format to enjoy hours of uninterrupted WAVE® music system quality sound.

Designed with simplicity in mind

The WAVE® music system was engineered to be delightfully easy to use. There are no visible buttons. Instead, the entire system is completely and conveniently controlled by a credit card-sized remote control. And setup couldn't be easier. The CD player, AM/FM tuner, amplifiers and speakers are all built-in so you can enjoy quality sound right out of the box.

The large, bright display panel is easy to read and understand; prominently displaying the artist, title and album names of your suitably encoded MP3 CDs. It's also easy to enjoy the system's full, rich sound with your TV, VCR, DVD player, or computer, thanks to an auxiliary input jack. And if you want to keep the music to yourself, you can simply plug your headphones into the headphone jack.

Elegance in a distinctive design

The WAVE® music system may look familiar, but it takes the original award-winning design of the WAVE® radio/CD to new levels. With its absence of buttons and a convenient slot-loaded CD player, the slim, sleek profile shines through to complement just about any room.

You'll also enjoy more options for placing your system where its distinctive design looks best. That's because the speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference from TVs or computer monitors.

Your WAVE® music system can even become part of an expanded home entertainment experience. With BOSE® link, the WAVE® music system is now compatible with select LIFESTYLE® systems. So you can easily extend your Bose listening experience to multiple rooms.
