Bose developed the TV Speaker as a simple television speaker, and the entire product was designed with clear dialogue as the main goal. Two full-range drivers angle out from either side of the center tweeter, which delivers all the dialogue, and a feature called Dialogue mode analyzes what you’re listening to and pulls the spoken word forward from everything else happening. The built-in Dolby decoding processes the audio, and a Bass button on the remote can be activated to add bass to your audio signal. The bar stands just over two inches tall, and the box includes an optical cable.
Head over to Amazon to get the Bose TV Speaker for just $199, down from its usual price of $279. That’s an $80 discount and 29% off.
A powerful, robust speaker that can enhance your entertainment center’s audio
Dialogue mode is the feature people buy this for. Press the button on the remote and the speaker analyzes what’s playing, separates the vocals from the rest of the audio, and amplifies them. You can also set Dialogue mode to persistent, so it stays on every time you turn the TV on rather than needing to be re-enabled.
Three drivers handle the sound produced by the unit. The two outer full-range drivers, positioned at an angle to each other, help spread the sound field beyond the sides of the soundbar. A single center tweeter is positioned to enhance vocal clarity. Once the audio input is decoded via Dolby, you can select the Bass button on the remote to increase bass response when needed.
Since this product includes an optical cable, it will work right out of the box. If your television also has an HDMI ARC jack and supports HDMI-CEC, the existing television remote will handle all volume controls. So, you can keep the remote provided with the Bose TV Speaker in a drawer after it’s properly connected.
The unit’s dimensions make it easy to install anywhere. Its height is 2.2 inches, its width is 23.4 inches, and its depth is 4 inches. It fits in front of virtually any television screen and won’t block or interfere with the remote sensor built into most televisions. Wall mounting works with the Bose Soundbar Wall Bracket, which is the same bracket used for the Soundbar 500 and 700. Bluetooth is built in for music and podcasts from a phone or a tablet, and pressing the Bluetooth button on the remote starts the pairing process.
The price for the Bose TV Speaker has dropped from $279 to $199. The package includes the speaker, remote, and a five-foot optical cable at this lower price point. If you want more bass later, you can connect a subwoofer via the subwoofer out to one of two options: the Bose Bass Module 500 or the Bose Bass Module 700. Small LED lights are located along the front of the unit, and they will change colors to indicate which input source you’re currently using.
