Bose Wave Radio AM/FM Alarm Clock With Remote AWR1-1W TESTED/WORKING

This vintage ’90s AM-FM radio alarm clock earned “Invention of the Year” honors for its revolutionary acoustic speaker technology. Using a pair of 2.5-inch speakers and a folded 34-inch internal “waveguide” — inside a unit that measures just 14 x 8.5 x 4.5 inches — the Wave delivers unprecedented bass and range for a unit of its size. This technology has been the foundation of a long line of elite Bose Wave products.

This slate gray Wave is in excellent condition, with a small nick in the left front corner and a scuff mark on the right side panel (photos 6, 7) its only flaws. It comes with a clean, working remote with new battery, a copy of the owner’s guide, power cord, and two long heavy-duty audio cords (phono plugs and mini phone plug) for use with the stereo auxiliary jacks.

Features include 1) a stereo tuner with 6 FM and 6 AM presets; 2) two independent alarms; 3) an auxiliary input for use with an external sound source such as CD, TV, or computer; 4) a variable output for use with powered external speakers; 5) a variable-brightness display; 6) an external jack for radio antenna (not included); and 7) internal battery backup to save settings. It is not Bluetooth-equipped.

It’s the rare vintage piece that sounds great, boasts a classic look, and remains fully operational. Perfect for a small space but powerful enough to deliver a deep, warm sonic punch, the original Bose Wave remains as distinctive as it was when it revolutionized sound technology thirty years ago.
