INTRODUCTION

The Bose link AL8 Homewide Wireless Audio Link

Congratulations on your choice of Bose to provide an audio expansion solution free from the need to run cumbersome wires between rooms.

The audio link consists of a transmitter and receiver. They deliver audio signals from your LIFESTYLE® 18 or 28 Series II system or LIFESTYLE® 38 or 48 system in one area of your house to the system or speakers you have set up in another area.

One transmitter can also send signals to as many as 8 receivers, making it simple to add on to your system whenever you like.

Note: For future expansion possibilities, we recommend that you keep this owner’s guide as a reference.

In combination with a Bose® link remote control or the PERSONAL® music center II, the Bose link AL8 Homewide Wireless Audio Link gives you numerous options for expanding your enjoyment.
