Bose Wireless Computer Speaker with Bluetooth Tube. Duration : 8.03 Mins.


The Bose Wireless Computer Speaker is a interesting product. It serves as a wireless computer speaker and as a Bluetooth speaker for any bluetooth enabled device, such as an iPhone, iPod, iPad, or other smartphone. In some ways, Bose has done this speaker a bit of a disservice by referring to it as strictly a "Computer Speaker". In my opinion, it is an excellent (but expensive) solution for a variety of devices in your living space. It is small enough to be completely portable, loud enough to fill any room, easy enough for the least tech savvy user, and the sound to bring smiles to most faces. Notes and Observations- - You can see in the video portion (to some extent at least) that the Bose Wireless Computer Speaker has nice clarity and sound depth down to (about) 60Hz. While that doesn't offer the bass of the Altec Lansins IMT810 Altec Lansing iMT810 Digital Boombox or the Fluance Fluance FiSDK500 Two-way High Performance Wood Speaker Dock Music System for iPod/iPhone but it does offer a nice smooth response across the frequency range. Sound 4 out of 5 stars - Bluetooth - works great and it is easy to set-up. Works well enough that the Bose Wireless Computer Speaker can be considered as wireless iPod dock. The speaker is much better than the Logitech 715i Logitech S715i Rechargeable Speaker for iPod and iPhone and the Monster iClarity HD Monster iClarityHD Precision Micro Bluetooth Speaker 100 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Multi-Language 5 out of 5 stars - Computer Speaker ...

Credits: CREW: Thomas Wotan Suski (Director, Camera, Editor) Paul Chan (Sound) Grant McPhee - second camera Mark Deas - second sound recordist Founded in 1968 by John Fox and Sue Gill, Roger Coleman and others, Welfare State International was a loose association of freelance artists bought together by shared values and philosophy. WSI first became well known for large-scale outdoor spectacular events. When the company began, taking art out of theaters and galleries into the street was considered revolutionary. The company's name was originally 'The Welfare State' offering art for all on the same basis as education and health. Under the Welfare State umbrella, a remarkable group of engineers, musicians, sculptors, performers, poets and pyrotechnicians invented and developed site-specific theater in landscape, lantern processions, spectacular fireshows, community carnivals and participatory festivals. These creations were by turns beautiful, abrasive, didactic, provocative, disturbing, wondrous and even gently therapeutic. Some big events such as "The Raising of the Titanic" (London International Festival of Theatre 1983), 'False Creek' in Expo '86, Vancouver, and the biggest lantern festival in Europe (Glasgow City of Culture 1990) have become touchstones balancing the aesthetic with the social.
