Bose Solo 15 series II under a TV

The Bose® Solo 15 Series II system offers robust sound and fits right under your TV.

Place the pedestal-like Bose® Solo 15 Series II TV sound system under your television and give your favorite movies and shows a serious boost in audio quality. Crutchfield customers praised the original system for easy hook-up and clear dialogue along with big, exciting sound effects. This time around, the Bose® Solo 15 Series II system offers all that, plus built-in Bluetooth. Send tunes wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet, and enjoy clear, dynamic Bose® sound.

Steady foundation for your TV

The Bose® Solo 15 Series II system is large enough to hold most TVs with screen sizes up to 46 inches and some even larger. The rock-solid construction can support up to 75 pounds, which is twice the weight of a typical 42-inch LCD TV. 

Easy-to-hear dialogue at any volume

Are you always mashing your remote's volume buttons to hear dialogue, then turning it back down when things get loud? With the Bose® Solo 15 Series II system, there's no need to do that. You'll be able to hear even whispered dialogue clearly at reasonable volumes. There's also a "Dialogue mode" that makes speech even more audible.

The system has wide sound dispersion, which means there's not likely to be a bad seat in the room. And the bass? Movie effects and music will both benefit from deep low-end impact. You can use the rear panel bass knob to dial-in just the right amount of bass response.

Easy setup and control

Bose® specializes in making things easy to hook up and use right away. This system connects to your TV with a single cable. Optical digitial and analog stereo RCA audio cables are included. The programmable universal remote can operate your TV, Blu-ray player, cable box, and other components as well as the Bose® Solo 15 Series II system. In only a few minutes, you'll discover everything your TV's speakers have been hiding from you.

Features

Solo 15 II TV Sound System: The Bose Solo 15 II TV Sound System is a single speaker solution for your flat-panel TV that dramatically improves the sound of your favorite movies and TV shows. The Bose Solo requires only one audio cable connection to your TV and a connection to an AC power outlet.

5 Speaker Array w/ TruSpace Technology: The Bose Solo 15 II employs a five speaker array along with proprietary TruSpace technology to produce a full, spacious sound that is wider than the TV screen. A dedicated center speaker along with digital signal processing enables clear, natural dialog at any volume. The two side-firing drivers along with TruSpace technology offer a greater sense of spaciousness. The result is more detail and better sound from your favorite TV shows and movies.

Bass Reflex Enclosure: Two rear-firing ports add greater efficiency and bigger bass to the speaker system.

Dialog Mode + Bass Level Knob: Dialog mode provides optimal sound quality for dialog-only programming, such as news and talk shows, by automatically adjusting the system's sound settings. The Solo 15 II also features a bass level knob so you can adjust low-note performance to your liking.

Analog + Digital Inputs: The Bose Solo 15 II speaker system is fitted with two digital inputs (optical/coaxial) and one stereo analog input (RCA), so you can connect virtually any TV. The optical and coaxial digital inputs support 2ch PCM and Dolby Digital. To enjoy the full benefit of hearing audio through the Bose Solo system, the internal speakers in your TV should be turned off.

Note: The digital optical output terminals of most newer flat-panel TVs only send an audio signal in 5.1ch when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device; and will output only 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA (like your Blue-ray/DVD player or satellite/cable box).

Built-in Bluetooth: With built-in Bluetooth, the Solo 15 II can wirelessly play back stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled Apple iOS iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Windows Phone/PC, Mac computer/laptop, or other Bluetooth compatible devices. You can control basic music playback functions (like Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track) from the included remote control. Song/artist information will need to be viewed on your Bluetooth device.

Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Bose Solo 15 II.

Mounting Options: The Bose Solo 15 II system is designed to fit under TVs that weigh no more than 75 lbs and have bases no wider than 24", and no deeper than 12.25".Most TVs 46" and smaller meet these requirements, and some 50" TVs will fit as well. You can also set it below a wall-mounted TV or larger table-top mounted TV, on a shelf or media cabinet.

Universal Remote Control: The Bose Solo 15 II includes an IR universal remote control for wireless operation of the speaker system. You can also program the universal remote to control your TV, DVD, Blu-ray Disc player, cable/satellite box, game system, or DVR. You can also program most other manufacturer universal remote controllers to operate the Bose Solo 15 II system.

Auto Power Off: The Solo 15 II system will automatically power off after one hour if no audio signal is present.

Q
I have a Bose solo but it only came with a small remote (on/off and volume). Can I get a different remote that gives me more options to control bass and others....?

Michael, I hope you have the full function remote with the Bose solo 15 Series II. If you do you can do just about anything you want. Ask a Crutchfield expert about specific requirements. They are great. The Bose solo is also great, particularly the dialogue button which cuts out extraneous sound effects in order that you can hear the dialog.

Not sure if the solo ll full remote works with the solo speaker. My solo died and I got a solo ll. The solo remote works the solo ll but not sure about reverse.

The remote that came with my Bose was full size works great no complaints
lawrence w.  Dec 08, 2016

In my opinion, and I am big on sound, you don't need any other feature other than on/off and volume control. It has a beautiful sound. Sometimes when I have company I will turn on the tv music channel and the sound comes through great. Wonderful first class unit.

No you can't.
radames  Jan 16, 2016

No, you can not add a subwoofer to the unit. However, you can adjust the bass to a level where another subwoofer is not needed.
