Key Features

• Compact Design: Smallest two-piece computer speaker system from Bose, freeing up valuable desktop space.
• Exceptional Audio Quality: Delivers sound well beyond its size, with convincing low notes without a separate bass module. This is achieved through proprietary amplifier technology, highly efficient neodymium speakers, and Bose digital signal processing.
• Proprietary Amplifiers: Smaller, lighter, and more efficient than traditional linear amplifiers, allowing for powerful sound from a compact size.
• Active Electronic Equalization: Balances low, mid, and high frequencies for more natural tone and clarity.
• Advanced Acoustics: Incorporates dual internal opposing passive radiators for unusually deep, powerful low tones from a very small multimedia speaker system.
• Elegant Finish: Features a brushed aluminum casing that complements any laptop, PC, and workspace.
• Convenient Controls: Volume and power controls are located discreetly on the side of the right speaker and also accessible via the included remote control.
• Easy Connectivity: Simple one-cable connection to your computer or auxiliary audio sources.
• Magnetic Shielding: Speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with monitors or damage to magnetic media.
