 Wave radio. 

Fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation bring you the benefits of award-winning pat-
ented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently trans-
fers energy from a small loudspeaker to the outside air over a whole range of bass notes. 
And, by folding long waveguides into intricate patterns, they fit into products small enough to 
be placed comfortably in your home. There is a 37-inch (93.5-cm) long waveguide inside the 
Wave radio’s enclosure, enabling this tabletop radio to produce room-filling sound with full, 
deep bass.

Your Wave radio also includes:

• Integrated system design for high acoustic quality requiring no complex adjustments

• A high performance stereo tuner with 6 AM and 6 FM station presets

• Two independent alarms, with battery backup power to save the settings for wakeup during 

power loss

• A credit card-size infrared remote control with optional mounting strip

• Inputs for an additional sound source, such as a CD or tape player

To fully appreciate all of these features, please take the time to follow this owner’s guide care-
fully. It helps you set up and operate your radio and enjoy its high-fidelity sound.
