Performance You Have To Hear To Believe…

The Bose® SoundDock® 10 digital music system is the best-performing SoundDock system for your iPod® or iPhone™. It delivers performance you have to hear to believe. The SoundDock 10 system reproduces music with a generous range, from the deep lows of the bass line to the soaring highs of the vocalist. Its depth and clarity are reinforced by Bose waveguide speaker technology, introduced in the Bose® Wave® music system.

To design the SoundDock 10 system, Bose engineers intricately folded the waveguide around a specially designed woofer, allowing both to fit into a small space. The woofer – with motor strength roughly equivalent to four conventional woofers – is strengthened by the waveguide so it can deliver clear, natural sound and help fill a room with music.

And it’s easy to use. Just place your iPod or iPhone into the dock and play. The system is Apple® certified and compatible with all iPhone and most iPod models. The SoundDock 10 system includes an auxiliary input for other audio devices and a video output, so you can watch iPod video on a TV while listening to it on the system.

Your iPod or iPhone will keep charging, even while playing, as long as it’s docked and the system is plugged in. A convenient remote control operates the system, lets you select iPod playlists, and switches back and forth between your iPod/iPhone and other connected sources.
