Yes, you can connect external speakers to your Bose Wave Radio/CD Player AWRC-1G, but there are specific requirements to consider.
???? Connecting External Speakers
???? Compatible Bose Speakers
???? Alternative: Bluetooth Connectivity
The AWRC-1G model features VARIABLE OUT jacks (right and left RCA outputs) on the back panel. These outputs allow you to connect powered speakers—speakers that have their own built-in amplifiers and independent volume controls. When you connect speakers to these outputs, the internal speakers of the Wave Radio/CD are automatically muted.
It's important to note that you cannot connect passive speakers (those without built-in amplifiers) directly to the AWRC-1G, as it lacks the necessary amplification to drive them. To use passive speakers, you would need an external amplifier or receiver between the Wave Radio/CD and the speakers.
While Bose doesn't offer specific external speakers designed exclusively for the AWRC-1G, you can use any powered speakers that accept RCA input connections. This includes various models from Bose, such as the Bose Companion series, as well as powered speakers from other reputable brands.
If you're interested in connecting your AWRC-1G to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, you can use a Bluetooth transmitter. Devices like the USAV Bluetooth Adapter can be connected to the VARIABLE OUT jacks, enabling wireless audio streaming to Bluetooth-enabled speakers or headphones.
