The benefits
of
research
Over fourteen years
of
research by Bose Corporation brings you
the benefits
of
award-winning proprietary acoustic waveguide
speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently
transfers energy from a small speaker to the outside air over a
wide range
of
low frequencies. And, long waveguides, folded into
intricate patterns, fit into products small enough to be placed
comfortably
in
your home. Your Wave®SoundTouch
TM
music system
features dual tapered waveguide speaker technology, connecting
two
speakers
to
two
26" tapered waveguides which combine to
produce unprecedented instrument timbre from a system this size.
Dual tapered
waveguides
