There’s a world of music out there. This compact system lets you easily enjoy all of it. Use it to stream millions of songs from music services such as Spotify and Deezer, thousands of Internet radio stations through TuneIn, and the music stored on your smartphone, tablet or computer.

The Wave® Soundtouch™ system features the legendary performance of the award-winning Wave® music system. An exclusive Bose® innovation—waveguide speaker technology—delivers the deep, rich sound of larger and more expensive stereos.
The Wave® Soundtouch™ music system IV – Refurbished music system is part of an entire family of wireless products, from one-piece music systems to home cinema. They all work together to play the same music in every room, or different music in different rooms. With Soundtouch, you can discover and enjoy music more effortlessly than ever before.
Experience your favourite music from your Soundtouch speaker with the Soundtouch™ app. Soundtouch lets you take total control of your listening experience, right from your smartphone or tablet. Browse popular music services like Spotify and Deezer, Internet radio stations through TuneIn or your stored music library.

The Wave® Soundtouch™ system sets up easily in minutes. The app helps walk you through the steps. Regular or home-burned CDs/MP3 CDs load directly into the front, and your streaming music sources and AM/FM stations are available at the touch of a preset. A slim infrared remote control lets you operate all system functions from anywhere in the room, and the convenient touch-top controls for on/off/snooze are completely invisible. You hear your music with clear, full, accurate sound. All from a music system that fits virtually anywhere: living room end table, kitchen counter or bedside table.
Proprietary Bose technologies automatically perform many of the adjustments needed for high-performance audio. So you can enjoy the performance of a large, multi-component stereo without a row of controls. The large, easy-to-read display shows the music source, time and more. And the dual alarms are great for working couples who have to wake up at different times. If you like to snooze in the morning, just tap the top of your system to buy some extra time.
Refurbished products are a great way to enjoy Bose performance at outstanding value. A Refurbished product is one that’s been returned to Bose, for any reason.
It’s then thoroughly inspected, tested and serviced to meet strict Bose sound quality standards—the same as a new product. Appearance is closely examined; products occasionally have minor, nearly imperceptible blemishes. All Refurbished products have the same warranty as new products. And are available only from Bose. Quantities are limited.
The products cannot be grouped together through a Bose app. SoundTouch products use the SoundTouch app, while the Bose Home Speaker family uses the Bose Music app. However, Apple device owners can use Apple AirPlay 2 to group the Wave SoundTouch music system with Bose Home Speaker family products for multi-room synchronised playback. Apple AirPlay 2 requires a Wi-Fi connection.
Aside from its built-in AM/FM radio and CD/MP3 CD player, the Wave® Soundtouch™ music system IV can play wireless audio from most of today’s portable music devices, including smartphones and tablets. The standard 3.5-mm Aux IN input accepts MP3 and DVD/CD players and even older audio cassette players. In addition, you can stream music over your home Wi-Fi network.
