#SETTING CLOCK ON BOSE WAVE MUSIC SYSTEM FULL#
Bass was full and rich, though we sometimes wished the unit had bass and treble controls to compensate for recording variability. CDs ranging from Frank Zappa's orchestral extravaganzas to the fury of rock duo White Stripes shined over the Wave. Small as it is, the unit can fill fairly large rooms with sound. (Bose offers a handy 30-day trial period.) Now on to the thing that really matters: Does this Wave sound better than the original? Yes, it does, though we found that it sounded a little different in each room we placed it in, so it's worth experimenting with different locations. We therefore recommend you purchase an extra remote (about $10) to have on hand in case the included one pulls a D.B. Imagine the alarm going off and not being able to silence it right away or hit the Snooze button (the Sleep button on the remote) because your clicker mysteriously disappeared. The only major drawback to having to control everything through the remote is that tiny remotes are easy to misplace or lose. (A separate cable is required to engage the Bose Link functionality.)
On the back you'll also find a headphone input, a jack for an external antenna (not included), and a Bose Link jack that allows you to connect the Wave to select link-enabled Bose Lifestyle systems and turn it into a Zone 2 stereo speaker.
In contrast to Bose's SoundDock for iPods, this model has an auxiliary input (minijack) so that you can not only connect an iPod but any other playback device as well, including a DVD player.
You can store up to six AM and six FM stations into memory, and the Wave, like its predecessor, is a proficient clock radio that gives you the option of awaking to a CD or a radio station. Meanwhile, the Play mode button selects various shuffle and repeat CD play modes but also turns on the bass-trimming Talk Radio mode when you're listening to stations that artificially boost low frequencies to make your favorite blowhards sound more authoritative. For instance, when in radio mode, the Tune/MP3 buttons scan to the next/previous radio stations in CD mode they allow you to navigate through folders on an MP3 CD.
#SETTING CLOCK ON BOSE WAVE MUSIC SYSTEM MANUAL#
The remote is well-labeled and easy to use, though it helps to make a quick study of the manual to make sure you're aware of certain buttons' dual purposes. A buttonless Wave means you have to use the included credit-card-style remote to control all of the unit's functions.
