Q: QuestionCan I connect additional speakers to the Bose wave sound touch system

Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Thanks for your question. The Wave SoundTouch Music System IV will allow you to add additional SoundTouch speakers, such as the SoundTouch 10, 20, or 30 using your home's Wi-Fi network. Once you have one SoundTouch speaker, you can add more at anytime. They all work together. So as you go room to room, your music goes along with you. Use them to play the same music in every room or different music in different rooms. We hope this helps! Have a fantastic day. Ashley - Bose Support

Q: QuestionHow come this system can no longer receive stations that are not on Tunein or iHeart? I use to be able enter URLs to get station programed. I think Bose changed their system by reducing what customers can listen to.

Asked 7 years ago by Sammy.

• A:Answer If you are in the Soundtouch App (I have the Android version) go to "Settings" and there should be a link that says "Stream Custom URL" where you can enter in the URL for the audio stream you want to listen to, and assign it a name. I have not tried it but the feature still seems to be there.
