Introduction
Dual tapered
waveguides
A Brief Introduction to Some Special Features
Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave® radio II, an elegant way to bring high
quality sound into any room.
Over fourteen years of research by Bose
Corporation brings you the benefits of
award-winning patented 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
radio II features new dual tapered
waveguide speaker technology,
connecting two speakers to two 66 cm
tapered waveguides which combine to
produce unprecedented instrument
timbre from a system this size.

When the radio is playing, radio station information is displayed. If RDS is enabled (ON) in the
system set-up menu (see page 19), RDS information appears in place of the station
frequency.
Note: The Radio Data System (RDS) is a system that transmits useful information, such as
station name, programme information and the current time. RDS is used only on FM and RDS
information is displayed only if it is included in the FM broadcast signal.

TALK RADIO mode
Talk radio broadcasts can be greatly affected by either the microphone selection or the
boosting of low frequencies by some radio stations. They do so in an attempt to improve
speech when heard through conventional radios. In high-quality audio products, this results in
sound that is unnatural or bass heavy. By selecting the TALK RADIO mode, your Wave
automatically adjusts to compensate for artificially boosted low frequencies.
