Hands-on with Bose's SoundDock Portable, Wave music system DAB and MusicMonitor

By Jason Jenkins on 09 October 2007, 11:10am

Next up is the Bose Wave music system DAB. You may know the Wave music system from those text-heavy ads in the Sunday papers, where it's been a staple for years, but if not, think expensive clock radio with CD player.

It's one of Bose's flagship products, and the company is very proud of the technologies it has patented to help the Wave produce a decent sound out of a comparatively small box.

This new version is only available in the UK and adds DAB radio to the FM and AM stations available in the old product. Strangely, it does this in a very un-Bose way, through an extra box you can stash away somewhere. While this may seem a little odd given that the last Wave was a one-box system, it means that existing Wave owners can buy the extra DAB box to turn their Waves into DAB models. A DAB antenna has been integrated into the power lead, but if the signal isn’t very strong where you live an extra external one is also available.

The whole DAB system costs £499, the upgrade box is £99 for existing Wave owners.
