Bose Adds PC Music Streaming to Waves Arsenal
Posted in: MP3 Digital Audio, streaming, Today's Chili, Wireless
Bose’s Wave Music System, which has a built-in CD player and AM/FM radio, can now stream music from your computer, as well. The upgraded design is called Wave Music System – Soundlink and will be available for $599.90 from the Bose’s Web site starting tomorrow. The streaming system utilizes the familiar USB dongle solution, which bypasses the need for WiFi by transmitting an RF-based signal from the dongle to the speaker system. In other words, there’s no set-up or software necessary, and it can stream anything your computer plays–it is simply streaming the PC’s output.
Bose never confirms behind-the-scenes tech specs, but Creative and Altec Lansing have utilized similar RF-based wireless transmission in the past. Current owners of Wave Music Systems will be able to purchase the Soundlink upgrade kit for $149.95.
