Overview

The original WAVE® radio woke up an industry with sound no one expected from something so small. Now, the WAVE® radio II builds on the achievements of its acclaimed predecessor. This innovative radio provides vivid, room-filling sound. And the small size and elegant styling make it versatile enough to use almost anywhere in your home.

Deeper, more vibrant sound

The WAVE® radio II delivers deeper tones and crisper, more accurate audio performance than the original. The key to the improved sound is the new dual tapered waveguide technology, exclusively from Bose. The breakthrough innovation in the original WAVE® radio was a 66cm tapered waveguide. It generated remarkably rich, room-filling sound. Engineers re-sculpted the interior of the WAVE® radio II to accommodate not one, but two 66cm folded waveguides. These dual waveguides amplify the low-frequency output, reproducing musical notes a full one-half octave lower than the original WAVE® radio. The result: Instruments like kettle drums and bass guitars have a more natural presence.

With such accurate sound reproduction, you can appreciate more of the intricate nuances of many instruments, including the human voice. You may even hear details in music that you've never heard before.

There's also a new equalisation feature for talk radio. It automatically compensates for the artificially boosted low frequencies found in some talk radio programmes so announcers sound more natural.

Engineered for simplicity

The WAVE® radio II is simple to use. Instead of buttons on the unit, everything's conveniently controlled with a well-organised credit card-sized remote. And setup's easy too. The digital AM/FM tuner, amplifiers and speakers are all built into the unit. Just unpack it and plug it in to enjoy BOSE® quality sound.

The display panel is large and bright, with big, bold text that's easier to read from across the room. It displays more information now too. Radio station, current time and alarm setting are all shown simultaneously.

You can also use your WAVE® radio II to enjoy lifelike sound with your TV, VCR, DVD player or computer, thanks to the auxiliary input jack. Or plug your headphones into the convenient headphone jack for private listening.

Versatile, streamlined design

It may look familiar, but the WAVE® radio II takes the award-winning design of the original to new levels. It's more streamlined with no buttons, and can elegantly complement almost any room. Now you can attractively fit high-performance audio into tight, hard-to reach spaces in kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms and offices. You can even place the WAVE® radio II near your TV or computer monitor because the speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid interference with the picture image.

Enjoy sound from select LIFESTYLE® systems

The WAVE® radio II can also be connected to select LIFESTYLE® systems with BOSE® link. Enjoy audio from your LIFESTYLE® system on your WAVE® radio II in another room.
