Bose is making home cinema speaker systems obsolete with the Bose VideoWave, and while this might seem like shooting itself in the foot, Bose is opening up a new area of the market to itself in producing a home cinema speaker system integrated into a large LCD screen in the Bose VideoWave.
The Bose VideoWave is a 1080p 46” LCD screen, with a depth of 15cm, which weighs in at 44kg. It isn’t much to add to your screen in terms of weight, if you consider the tangle of wires and shoddy DIY work that’s rendered unecessary.
The Bose VideoWave has a slightly deeper back than is standard in a new screen of that size, which houses the full cinema audio sound, including woofers and seven-element speaker array. It’s also packing the Bose AdaptiQ software, which analyses the room you set up the Bose VideoWave in, and adjusts the sound accordingly, so that you get the best sound you can, plus a spiffy new remote control, which bundles all your sources into one remote and one clever dashboard on the Bose VideoWave interface.
Marc Jourlait, Vice President and General Manager of Bose Europe, said at the start of the day, obviously alluding to the Bose VideoWave we were about to see: “We’re taking something and making it better… All of the products that are out there add to the complexity of enjoying sound in the home.”
Stay tuned for a full hands on review and photo gallery of the Bose VideoWave!
