Questions & Answers

JACK J : Will this work with other FM systems such as receivers?
Dan M : Will this fit the Bose CD 3000 Wave radio?Stephen A : Looks like the same one I use and it works great. I am not sure if I have a model 3000 but the two wave radios I have (one with a CD) both have the same 1/4 " jack like the picture.Fabienne C : Can’t say for sure but it should work on anything that has a connector similar looking to those on cell phone headsets but larger.Frederick T : I have a wave music system IV CD single disc Antenna input is 3.5mmANDREW R : Compatibility All Wave systems
Paul C : How must the Bose FM antenna be laid out?LINDA K : I have the Bose on my dresser and ran it up behind the dresser mirror and taped it up near the top.Stephen A : Just in a T shape. Mine is stretched across the back of the back table the radio is on. The exact layout doesn’t seem to matter as much as spreading the two segments wide apartJAMES F : Like a T...Chris G : Every reception area is different. Pick out a weak station you like to listen to and try different positions until you find what works best. Then, try other stations and see if they come in clearly. For me, running the antenna in a vertical direction with a turn where it touched the ceiling gave the best overall reception of the stations I like to listen to. The built in (line cord) antenna is not bad, but the external antenna is well worth the cost. Bose should really include this in the price of the radio.Fabienne C : Its like w very big “T”. I pin the horizontal part of the T to the wall near the ceiling (you can see the holes on the two tabs on the left) and let the vertical part drop down to the Bose until. If your walls are light it is barely noticeable especially if it drops down behind your TV.STEVEN G : In my experience the best way is to make a "T" with the arms of the "T" being spread out as straight and long (without tangle) as possible.ANTHONY C : Logically, it should be extended to it's fullest, like a big T, like along the ceiling or above a window, but practically, whatever way gets the best reception. In my case through trial and error, I have it run from the back of the radio and draped over a nearby floor lamp. Improves reception a bit which is all I needed.

no more static

Makes a world of difference. Before adding the antenna, my wave radio had static on some channels.

FM antenna is worth purchase

Antenna does draw in FM stations decently. It is long but you do not need to extend the entire thing.

Antenna

Wrong plug for my Bose. They gave me a part number to look for online but it doesn't appear to be available. So I guess that my two Bose Wave devices are going to drive me crazy with the static. Or?..

Antenna is needed for the best reception of channe

We live remotely and couldn't receive many stations and now the reception is much greater. The antenna should accompany the wave radio. Not everyone has great reception of channels.

Terrible waster of customer ' service '

After 8-9 attempts in chats and calls-- and receiving 2 antennea and 1 adapter-- I finally got some one to tell me that you do not have the proper adapter HOURS. WASTED? and was not an efficient use of your time either

Fred's fix.

I live in a yuppy ghetto in south west suburban Reno, Nevada and one particular FM station I listen to has got a weaker signal than I would like. Now the signal is better with this dipole antenna that I have put up in one room with the Bose radio and I no longer have the distortion fade you associate with weak signals.

Bad design, poorly implemented

The Bose site notes as positive a dipole antenna that has a single jack 3.5mm connector instead of two screw connections. Like many of Bose' proprietary tendencies, this means special work to try and find alternative antennae that work ... the Bose one is very weak.

cleared up the static ect.

this antenna is for FM only, AM antennas are iron ferrate antennas located inside the radio.

About Bose Antenna

FEATURED REVIEWS

So far, so good

By cdplayer

Our Bose cd and am/fm player would pickup lots of stain on FM so we bought and have begun using this antenna and have not (as yet) experienced any static.

A big help !

By llg2

My Husband purchased this for me. My office is in a metal building in the bottom of a canyon, It greatly helped my reception!

Boost FM reception on your Wave system with this external dipole FM antenna. Recommended wherever FM signal strength is weak for one or more stations. Plugs directly into antenna input on the back of your system-no old-fashioned screw terminals. For optimum reception, extend the antenna ends as far from the unit and other equipment as possible.
