Bose Entertainment System Integrates Seamlessly Into Home

Visitors to Booth W3859 at the Feb. 13-16 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando can see how the Bose Builder Program of integrated home theater and multi-room indoor and outdoor audio systems engineered to specific floor plans can help sell more homes and upgrades.

Bose will be highlighting its Lifestyle BUILT-INvisible AV-48 Series IV Home Entertainment System, its premium home theater with 340-CD digital music storage.

Ideal for the movie and music lover, this elegant, high-performance system provides builders with a compelling option to offer their home buyers.

Installed during new construction, the speaker wiring, amplifiers and large components can be completely hidden in walls, ceilings or floors — eliminating clutter and providing residents with a simple, whole-home audio solution seamlessly integrated into the living space.

The system delivers rich, room-filling sound and includes a media center with an integrated AM/FM tuner and DVD/CD player that plays today’s most popular audio and video formats for movies and music.

A new Lifestyle VS-2 video enhancer is also included, making it simple for owners to integrate and use multiple video sources, including those with HDMI.

New Lifestyle BUILT-INvisible systems are featured in the 2008 New American Home, the official show home of the IBS.

For more information, visit Booth W3859 at the Builders’ Show or click here.

Headquartered in Framingham, Mass., Bose Corporation is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Leading Suppliers of NAHB.
