Apple Recommends For
Stunning desktop audio from movies, music or games on your Mac and iPod.
Enjoy a significant upgrade in sound and style from the speakers that came with your computer. Companion® 2 speakers deliver both the subtleties in your music and the rousing resonance of movie and game sound effects. Think of them as giving new voice to your computer. And with Bose TrueSpace® stereo signal processing, that voice really has some reach. Experience a spacious, dramatic soundstage that seems to extend beyond the desktop speakers--whether you've set them next to your monitor or placed them farther apart. You'll also appreciate the clear, robust response for those challenging low musical notes and sound effects.
These sleek and compact speakers fit easily in their surroundings to save valuable desktop space. Dual inputs make it a snap to connect your computer and portable audio sources at the same time. Both volume and the headphone jack reside on the front of one speaker to provide easy control over your listening experience.

How do you hook up the bose companion 2 series ll to a mac ?
- Asked by Mark S
- 9-Oct-2009
Best Answer
The one I bought included a cable which plugs into the headphone socket on an iMac and into the back of the speakers. (If you want to listen to headphones there's a headphone socket on the front of one of the speakers.) So it's all in the box already. …More

Will it work with airport express
- Asked by David B
- 12-Dec-2010
Answer
I have the Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers connected to my Airport Express. The set up works great!! Just connects to/through your current wireless network. For less than $200- speakers + Airport express- you can have iTunes (or Pandora or any online radio/music app/website via Airfoil or the like) stream music wirelessly to any speakers connected to Airport.
I play music from my Mac, iPad, iPhone, and even older iPods (connected to the headphone jack..) all the time. It works great & these speakers put out pretty decent sound for the price & size. I highly recommend this setup, we LOVE it! …More- Answered by Leeann H from Tacoma

can i use these with the bose wave radio/cd player
- Asked by Chuck J
- 21-Nov-2010
Answer
Not sure why you would do that, but yes, you can. The Bose Wave Radio (I have one) has excellent, room-filling sound of its own, so I don't see the point in attaching external speakers to it. But perhaps you want to use a long cable to a second room?
The Bose radio has "variable out" RCA jacks on the back, which means the external-speaker output is volume-controlled by the radio. These Companion 2 speakers have RCA inputs (as well as their own volume control), so a regular dual-RCA cable will connect them.
Important note if you want to do this: you can NOT listen to both the radio's speakers and these external speakers at the same time. Once you attach cables to the its output, the Bose Wave Radio's own speakers turn off. This is much the same as plugging headphones into an iPod or the Companion 2 speakers – this overrides the built-in speakers. So again, I don't see why you would want to do this – kind of defeats the purpose of having a Wave Radio. …More- Answered by Andrew R from Chapel Hill
