Music System II
Thank you for purchasing the Bose
®
Wave music system II, engineered to deliver
the deep, rich musical performance you would
expect from a large, complicated component
stereo system.
Over 20 years of research by Bose Corporation
brings you the benefits of award-winning, pat-
ented acoustic waveguide speaker technology.
Using this technology, long waveguides folded
into intricate patterns can be built into prod-
ucts that are small enough to fit comfortably in
your home. This long waveguide, or tube, effi-
ciently transfers energy from a small speaker
to the outside air over a wide range of low fre-
quencies. Your Acoustic Wave
II features an 80-inch waveguide, precisely
tuned to deliver sound reproduction unlike
anything you may have heard from a system
this size.
You easily can move the system from room to room, or even outside
®
Your Acoustic Wave music system II has molded inset handles for easy carrying. Optional
accessories let you enjoy the system in places outside of your home.
• Carrying case allows you to listen to your system while protecting it during transport.
• Rechargeable power pack enables operation when AC power is not available.
• DC power cord plugs into the cigarette lighter receptacle in your automobile.
You can purchase accessories from your Bose
phone. See the inside back cover for contact information.
Enjoy talk radio programs using a special listening mode
Some talk radio programs can sound unnatural or bass-heavy. Your Acoustic Wave
system II has a user-selectable TALK RADIO mode that automatically adjusts the sound,
making the programs sound more natural. For details, see "TALK RADIO mode" on page 15.
Connect headphones for private listening
You can plug your headphones into the HEADPHONES output jack on the rear panel. Use the
volume control on the top control panel to set the level. See "Using headphones" on page 17.
Expand your system by connecting additional speakers
You can deliver music to another area in your home by connecting a powered speaker system
to the HEADPHONES output. For instructions on setting up the system for this, see "Con-
necting external speakers" on page 17.
Record your favorite programs
The HEADPHONES output on the rear panel also can be used to record your favorite music
or talk program. To connect a recorder, see "Connecting a recording device" on page 18.
Play your favorite music file (MP3) CDs
Your Acoustic Wave ® music system II can play MP3 music files recorded on CD-R and CD-
