Introduction

About your Wave® Music System IV

Your Wave® Music System IV provides an elegant way to bring high quality sound into any room.

System Features

• Display provides access to system settings and information.
• AUX connector enables playback from an audio device.
• Headphone connector for private listening.
• FM/AM tuner delivers precise radio reception.
• CD drive provides access to even more music.
• Remote control for point-and-click control from up to 20 feet away.

The demonstration CD
We encourage you to listen to the demonstration music CD included in the carton. Simply insert the demonstration disc and your Wave®Music System IV will play the CD automatically. For more details, see “Playing audio CDs” on page 9.

The benefits of research
Over fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation brings you the benefits of award-winning proprietary acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently transfers energy from a small speaker to the outside air over a wide range of low frequencies. And, long waveguides, folded into intricate patterns, fit into products small enough to be placed comfortably in your home. Your Wave® Music System IV features dual tapered waveguide speaker technology, connecting two speakers to two 26″ tapered waveguides which combine to deliver performance well beyond the size of the system.
