Customer Q&A

Q
is this ( SoundTouch 30 ) item suitable for 220V ?
alfonso marquez  Aug 28, 2014

A
The socket that the plug wire plus into on the unit says "120V". Given that my assumption would be that it is not compatible. I would contact Bose to ask specifically.

I am really depressed as I bought this to take with me overseas and was expecting a universal voltage on this new model. Sadly , Bose makes this with only 110 VOLT for sale in USA It will not work with 220 volt ! I have no option to buy a step down transformer and pray it does not burn up . A really expensive speaker should have 110/220 v . Tell Bose to learn from Apple !

joseph r  Mar 10, 2014

My apartment living room is about 250 sq ft (I have 12' ceilings) and the sound is more than powerful. At a comfortable listening volume, meaning, the volume not even halfway to highest, it sounds terrific. I'm not a music "tech-y", but I love great-sounding music and am very happy with the Bose SoundTouch.

Yes, it is moe than enough to generate sound to fill a 400 sq. ft. room. I am using my SoundTouch 30 between my kitchen and family rooms. The area is more than 1000 sq. ft. Hope it helps.
