Bose Companion 5 Overview :
The Companion 5 multimedia speaker system is engineered to deliver the excitement of surround sound content right at your computer—without the clutter of five speakers. Just two small speakers and a hideaway Acoustimass® module deliver much of the audio performance you\'d expect from a five-speaker surround sound system. And a single USB connection is all it takes—no special software, hardware or sound card upgrade necessary.*
Desktop theater: Admit one
Five-speaker systems are great for your living room or home-theater room. Maybe not for the office, bedroom or dorm room, where your computer lives. Yet, without a way to fully appreciate those breathtaking 5.1 game and movie soundtracks, you\'re missing much of the fun.
Now you can enjoy an enveloping sound experience without enveloping yourself in hardware. Our proprietary TrueSpace® surround digital processing circuitry enables two elegant desktop speakers and a compact module to put you in the middle of the action.
The soundstage seems to envelop you. And the experience is developed especially for computer listening, so you\'re right in the middle of the music, the game, the special effects.
Enjoy Bose convenience
The Companion 5 system features a handy, all-in-one control pod to keep speaker volume control, single-touch mute, headphone jack and an auxiliary input all within easy reach. Speakers are mounted on stands enabling superb performance and more usable desktop space.
*For optimum performance, we recommend Windows XP or later. For Macintosh computers, OS X 10.4.6 or later.
