Tabletop Radio: The Bose Wave radio III provides rich, room-filling sound from a compact tabletop radio that fits just about anywhere in your home.

Waveguide Speaker Technology: Bose proprietary waveguide speaker technology combines with advanced digital electronics to deliver performance well beyond the speakers' size. Two 26" folded waveguides are precisely tuned to amplify the output from the transducers (speakers) to reproduce lifelike sound from the small enclosure.

Advanced AM/FM Tuner: The Bose Wave radio III comes with a built-in FM/AM tuner. The advanced AM/FM tuner delivers more precise radio reception and

• RDS: When you select FM radio, RDS information for the current station is displayed like artist name and song titles (when available).
• Presets: You can store up to 6 FM and 6 AM radio stations for quick recall.
• Talk Radio Mode: Talk radio broadcasts can be greatly affected by either the microphone selection or the boosting of low frequencies by some radio stations. They do so in an attempt to improve speech when heard through conventional radios. In high-quality audio products, this results in sound that is unnatural or bass heavy. By selecting the "Talk Radio" mode, your Wave radio III automatically adjusts to compensate for artificially boosted low frequencies.

Aux Input: There is a rear-panel 3.5mm Aux input for connecting an external analog audio source, like your smartphone or tablet.

Headphone Out: The Wave radio III comes with a rear-panel 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening. Plugging in a set of headphones will mute the Wave radio III's speakers. If an alarm  or timer sounds while using headphones, it will sound through the Wave radio III speakers.

Bose Link: The Bose link input accepts the Wave III dock (sold separately) for your iPod/iPhone and the Wave Bluetooth music adapter (sold separately) for Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as your smartphone or tablet. The Wave III dock and Wave Bluetooth music adapter use the same Bose link input and thus cannot be plugged in at the same time. The Wave radio III can also be used as Bose Lifestyle system expansion speaker via Bose link.

Touch Pad & Remote Control: The Wave radio III has a touch-sensitive switch under the top, front, center area of the enclosure. Momentarily placing your hand on the touch pad can turn the Wave radio III on or off. You can operate volume, station selection, and even some accessory functions with the convenient IR wireless remote control. The remote normally works within 20' of the display.

Front-Panel Display w/ Auto Brightness: The Bose Wave radio III features a front-panel display which will indicate the set time, station identification, and RDS-text information (when available). The brightness level of the display automatically adjusts itself for low and high ambient light conditions. This feature brightens the display for better visibility in high ambient light conditions and dims the display making it
less intrusive in low ambient light conditions. High and low brightness settings can be set independently.

Alarm Clock: The Bose Wave radio III offers a 12- or 24-hr alarm clock with Dual Alarms, Snooze, and Sleep Timer.

• Dual Alarms: Two different wakeup times may be set, customized for each person's preferences (radio station or beep, volume, etc.). This is handy if two people wake at different times.
• Snooze: Simply tap the unit's top-panel touch pad to activate the Snooze function. The snooze time can be set to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 minutes.
• Sleep Timer: The Sleep Timer can be set to shut the unit off automatically after a selected period of time (10-90 minutes in 10 minute increments).

Placement: Place the Bose Wave radio III on a table or other flat surface. To enjoy maximum audio performance, place the Wave radio III across the room from where you will be listening. For best audio performance, place the Wave  radio III within 2' of a wall, and avoid placing directly in a corner.

AC Power w/ Auto Standby: The Bose Wave radio III operates off standard household current (120V~50/60Hz, 60W) using its integrated power supply and 8' detachable AC power cord. After 24 hours of no button presses the system automatically switches to standby (off). If the 30 minute system standby timer is enabled, the system automatically switches to standby if no audio is played and no buttons are pressed for 30 minutes.
