Bose Wave Radio Audio System Series 1 (AWRC-1G) With Alarm Clock System, 3.5MM 5.0 Bluetooth Adapter and Bose Wave Guide technology (Graphite Gray) (Pre-Owned)

The Bose Wave AWRC-1G is a combination radio and CD player that the Bose Corp. released in 2000. While the AWRC-1G is discontinued as of 2011, you can still purchase the radio/CD player on the secondhand market. Several specifications of the Bose AWRC-1G stand out as examples of its performance capabilities and design.

Waveguide Specs
As a “Wave” radio/CD player, the Bose AWRC-1G relies on patented acoustic Waveguide technology. This technology employs a long, folded tube, known as a Waveguide, which carries energy from an internal loudspeaker out to the air surrounding the unit. The main benefit of Waveguide technology is that it allows for deeper — or lower — bass notes, which contributes to a richer overall sound.

Physical Specs
The Bose AWRC-1G relies on a 27-inch Waveguide, the folded nature of which allows the radio/CD player to maintain a relatively compact size. The Bose AWRC-1G is 14 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep by 4.38 inches high. With its CD player empty, the unit weighs 7.4 lb. A visual display on the front of the Bose AWRC-1G allows users to view textual information, such as track numbers and volume levels. This display has an adjustable brightness and automatically dims during nighttime.
