BOSE Companion® 50 multimedia speaker system **** The best computer speaker system from Bose. **** If you're looking for the most engaging computer audio experience from Bose, these are the speakers you want. The Companion 50 system immerses you in a dramatic acoustic environment you might expect only from a five-speaker system. Yet it all comes from just two elegant desktop speakers & a hideaway Acoustimass® module. * Rich, detailed sound with a wide soundstage immerses you in the experience * Deep, accurate bass from the Acoustimass module you can hide under a desk * All-in-one control pod houses volume control, single-touch mute, headphone jack & auxiliary input * Single connection to your computer—no sound cards or software upgrades needed * Energy-saving sleep mode engages after 30 minutes of inactivity Get more of the experience More & more, you're using your computer for all kinds of entertainment. Music. Movies & TV shows. Gaming. But if you're still using your laptop speakers, or the ones that came with your desktop, you're not coming close to the audio experience you should be getting. The Companion 50 system provides a welcome change. It uses proprietary True Space® digital processing circuitry to deliver a wide, spacious soundstage, reproducing the original dramatic intent behind the music, movies & games you enjoy. More sound. Less clutter. Easy setup. It's the kind of enveloping sound you'd expect more from a five-speaker surround system—fine for living rooms but impractical for a computer. The two small, elegant desktop speakers are elevated on stands for optimum performance & extra usable desk space. Hookup requires only a single connection from the computer speaker system to your PC or laptop—no special software or hardware upgrade needed. An all- in-one control pod keeps volume control, single-touch mute, headphone jack & auxiliary input within easy reach. To save energy, the system goes into sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity & wakes up when an audio signal is received or the control pod is tapped.
