There are no separate speakers, bass module or speaker wires. A single enclosure delivers a HD picture and the audio experience of a high-quality home theatre system. And all connected devices for watching TV and movies, or listening to music — are controlled by one click pad remote, and an interface on the screen.

“The Bose VideoWave system creates an entirely new category of product,” says Bose Video Products business director Santiago Carvajal.

“We first combined picture and sound without compromising either. That gave us an opportunity to solve another problem recognised by nearly everyone: the complexity of using multiple remotes to manage separate devices – like a Blu-ray player, cable box, iPod or DVR. Our new remote lets you control everything on-screen.”

The Bose VideoWave system is the result of 10 years of research, representing the company’s most advanced consumer product ever.
Combining a high-performance audio system with an LCD display required proprietary computer modeling tools to predict and eliminate sources of vibration and heat. Advancements in multiple Bose engineering disciplines enabled the successful integration of audio and video,
making the entire system no larger than the screen itself. It includes new software and electronics, multiple channels of amplification and a
custom speaker package – all invisible. And it’s slender and elegant enough to be wall-mounted or placed on a table.

Home Theatre Performance, No Separate Speakers

The VideoWave system delivers unmistakable cinematic sound. Even at the highest listening levels, the system reproduces music and programming with clarity and no audible distortion.

For the impact of deep low notes, a cluster of six high-performance woofers is carefully matched to a new, powerful acoustic Bose waveguide.
For the spacious, immersive quality of home theatre, a new invention – Bose PhaseGuide sound radiator technology – is combined with a
seven-element speaker array and advanced Bose digital signal processing.

Together, they deliver sound well beyond the screen. Discrete sound is aimed — and heard — in places where there are no speakers.

The Bose VideoWave system can be positioned almost anywhere. Bose ADAPTiQ audio calibration technology ensures the best sound possible for any room; it recognises room size, shape, furnishings and adjusts the sound automatically.

One system, one remote

The VideoWave system’s ease-of-use is unprecedented for home entertainment. All of today’s content can be easily accessed and controlled with just one remote, and a touch, glide and click.

“We started with a clean sheet when designing the VideoWave system’s interface,” says Santiago.

“We needed to find a completely new way to interact with home entertainment — not just an improvement on what already exists. We put the user first and the results are remarkable.”

The Bose VideoWave system will be demonstrated and sold in selected retail stores from 1 June, 2011.
