A:

Yes, They do make a 3.5 male & female end cable, they range fro 3- 6 feet I believe. Last time I saw one was at Radio Shack but try online. I wouldn't use more than one connection though. Imagine hooking up one water hose to a spigot and check your water pressure, then add another hose to the other end and check the water pressure then. You will notice its not the same. So depending how long your cable is MAY alter your sound quality. Hope that helps.

Yes the cable is available. I just posted a detailed review showing part number and point of confusion. The part you are requesting is for either the Companion 20 or 2 series iii. Call Bose and order Material Part Number 364138-001S It is a six foot extension cable. Hope this helps.

Most likely not. If you check on the bose online shopping site and look under the parts section you can check and see if they have an extension cable for it.

I have them both , for classical music i prefer the Bose Companion 2 Series III Multimedia Speakers. With the costlier ones the cello sounds like a contrabass.

Both are good. I preferred the Companion 20 because I like the bass quality. I also like the pod for volume control. Get the 2 Series if price is an issue.

Answers

A:

I use these on my Mac mini with the 3.5 mm headphone jack that the speakers plug into. If you don't have a headphone jack, a USB to 3.5mm adaptor should work. The speakers do not use bluetooth and have no USB connection included.

Yes. I have hooked two different Bose sound systems to my MacBookPro and they worked perfectly.. You will have to go into Preferences>Sound>Output, and select the Bose system. (You may have to reboot after the selection to get the sound from the Bose system.)

Yep. Bose makes many Mac-Friendly devices. Currently using a Companion 5, that uses a USB connection. No drivers to install, no software; OSX takes care of everything.

Yes, you can plug the audio cable from these speakers into your phones headphone jack and use them as a "home system". Note the speaker power cord still has to be plugged into a wall outlet. You can't power the system from your phone.

Best Answer

A:

Thank you for the questions.

If your cell phone has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, these speakers could be connected to play downloaded or streaming music.

There is no CD player in these speakers. However, they could be easily connected to a portable CD player or computer that would allow you to play your disc through the speakers.

Best Answer

A:

I searched everything that Bose gave me with my Companion20s. Nothing was stated. I used to own a custom speaker manufacturing company years ago. I can give you my opinion and guesses only. Sorry, but just trying to help. The wattage may be only 50 watts. Frequency response sounds like it starts around 40HZ and goes up to 21,000HZ (I used Bose tweeters in my systems and that's how I know how high they go). THD for my 40 year old ears, I really heard no noise at full volume. Pretty impressive for computer speakers. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your inquiry. Bose does not publish such specifications, as we feel they do not accurately represent how a product will sound and perform. Instead, we encourage you to listen to them and decide how they sound to you. We hope this helps, thank you!

With the Bose Companion 20 is there an extension cable (speaker to computer) if the original cable/wire is too short?

Q:

The connector on the left speak is AWM E320450. The connector seems to be unique and not a standard 3.5mm cable with connectors. Many blogs say that you can't find an extention for it...even from BOSE. Sugguestions?

I believe they call it a 1/8 inch cable. I just used the old cord off my old speaker system. Now that I think back , it did come with all the cables . I just put the ones I did not need away.

Best Answer

A:

I bought a standard 3.5mm stereo cable from Radio Shack to hook from the sound card to the speaker and it works fine. The cable that connects the two speakers together is fairly short and it is proprietary and even Bose does not make an extension.

A:

The cable that connects the Companion 20 to a computer is in fact a standard 3.5mm AUX cable. Any 3.5mm female to male extension cable should work without a problem.

The Left-speaker cable, however, is a 6.5 Ft wire with a proprietary connection. No extension for this wire is currently available through Bose or otherwise.

Thanks for the question.
