There’s a world of music out there. This compact system lets you easily enjoy all of it. Use it to stream millions of songs from music services such as Spotify® and Deezer®, thousands of Internet radio stations and the music stored on your smartphone, tablet or computer.
There’s also a CD player and AM/FM radio tuner. So you can hear whatever you want with room-filling Wave® sound—all from an easy-to-use system with a fresh, updated design.
The Wave® SoundTouch® system features the legendary performance of the award-winning Wave® music system. An exclusive Bose® innovation—waveguide speaker technology—delivers the deep, rich sound of larger and more expensive stereos.
The Wave® SoundTouch® music system is part of an entire family of wireless products, from one-piece music systems to home cinema. They all work together to play the same music in every room, or different music in different rooms. With SoundTouch®, you can discover and enjoy music more effortlessly than ever before.
Experience your favourite music from your SoundTouch speaker with the SoundTouch app. SoundTouch lets you take total control of your listening experience, right from your smartphone or tablet. Browse popular music services like Spotify® and Deezer, Internet radio or your stored music library. Easily personalise presets for one touch access to the music you love, and control one or many SoundTouch speakers around your home.
The Wave® SoundTouch® system sets up easily in minutes. The app helps walk you through the steps. Regular or home-burned CDs/MP3 CDs load directly into the front, and your streaming music sources and AM/FM stations are available at the touch of a preset. A slim infrared remote control lets you operate all system functions from anywhere in the room, and the convenient touch-top controls for on/off/snooze are completely invisible. You hear your music with clear, full, accurate sound. All from a music system that fits virtually anywhere: living room end table, kitchen counter or bedside table.
Proprietary Bose® technologies automatically perform many of the adjustments needed for high-performance audio. So you can enjoy the performance of a large, multi-component stereo without a row of controls. The large, easy-to-read display shows the music source, time and more. And the dual alarms are great for working couples who have to wake up at different times. If you like to snooze in the morning, just tap the top of your system to buy some extra time.
Aside from its built-in DAB/AM/FM radio and CD/MP3 CD player, the Wave® SoundTouch® music system IV can play wireless audio from most of today's portable music devices, including smartphones and tablets. The standard 3.5 mm Aux IN input accepts MP3 and DVD/CD players and even older audio cassette players. In addition, you can stream music over your home Wi-Fi® network.
