Bose TV Speaker Soundbar Overview

Enhance dialogue and overall TV audio with the Bose TV Speaker Soundbar. It has Dialogue Mode, which highlights vocal effects to help clarify speech. Bass can be enhanced with the touch of the "Bass" button on the remote control, or you can add an optional Bass Module via the dedicated 1/8" proprietary subwoofer output.

The TV Speaker has an optical and HDMI ARC input for single-cable connectivity to your compatible TV. An 1/8" aux input lets you connect another audio source, and Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless streaming from compatible devices. The soundbar can be wall-mounted with optional hardware. A 5' optical cable is included for instant connectivity.

Designed for Simple Setup
A single cable from your TV – either HDMI ARC or optical – has you up and running quickly. With HDMI-CEC, you can use your compatible TV's remote control to adjust the volume of the soundbar. It detects a signal from your TV when turned on and automatically turns on.
Visual Confirmation
Small LED lights on the front panel turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled. They also blink to acknowledge volume changes.
Acoustic Performance
Two full-range drivers are angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter helps clarify speech for clear dialogue.
Dialogue Mode for Enhanced Clarity
Place the TV Speaker in Dialogue Mode to further enhance the clarity of speech, conversations, and news programs. The soundbar analyzes what you're watching to further elevate vocals to help you hear and understand every word. Just press the "Dialogue Mode" button on the remote control to enable it.
Wireless Music
Stream content from your compatible Bluetooth device to the TV Speaker. Press the "Bluetooth" button on the remote control to pair a device and wirelessly play music and podcasts.
Compact Design
At just over 2" tall, the TV Speaker is designed to fit nearly anywhere. An optional wall bracket is available for wall mounting.
More Bass
Press the "Bass" button on the remote control to add more bass. You can also expand the system with an optional Bass Module 500 or Bass Module 700 and the Bass Module Connection Cable.
Additional Features
  • Power, TV source, volume, mute, Bluetooth, bass, and Dialogue Mode control via the included remote control
  • Matte finish on top with a metal grille
  • 1.6 x 0.5 x 4.1", 1.12 oz remote control with CR2032 battery

High quality

The speaker is quite good. I don't like units that only can be controlled on the remote. And I am trying to order a second remote, which is not in stock, and I can't get a decent answer as to when it will be in stock, if ever.

Great speaker

Do you have directions to auto OFF the unit when the TV is turned off?
Asked by: William
The manual does not seem to provide any Auto Off Feature. It looks to only be able to power on automatically if the Speaker is connected to your TV via HDMI connection.
