Bose Bass Module 500 Wireless Subwoofer – Compact 25cm Design, Deep Bass for Compatible Bose Soundbars – Black

Overview

Give films, music and games the low-frequency impact they deserve with the Bose Bass Module 500 in Black. Designed specifically to complement compatible Bose soundbars, this compact powered subwoofer adds deeper, more powerful bass without requiring a large speaker enclosure to dominate your living room.

Despite measuring only around 25cm wide and deep, the Bass Module 500 is engineered to add the physical low-end impact that a soundbar alone cannot reproduce as convincingly. Explosions gain more weight, cinematic soundtracks become more immersive and bass lines feel fuller and more substantial. Bose describes it as powerful bass contained within a compact 25.4cm cube-style design.

Setup is deliberately straightforward. With compatible Bose Smart Soundbars, the Bass Module 500 can connect wirelessly, allowing it to be positioned elsewhere in the room without running an audio cable from the soundbar to the subwoofer. A wired connection is also available with the optional Bose Bass Module Connection Cable.

At approximately 24.1 × 25.4 × 25.4cm and 5kg, it offers an effective way to upgrade a Bose home-cinema system without adding a large conventional subwoofer to the room.

The UK Black version is commonly identified as model 796145-4100, with EAN 0017817788632.

Key Features & Benefits

• Feel More of the Action – Adding the Bass Module 500 extends the low-frequency performance of a compatible Bose soundbar, giving explosions, engines, sound effects and cinematic scores significantly greater physical presence. Bose positions the module specifically as an upgrade for users wanting stronger bass from their home-cinema system.
• Bring More Weight to Music – Bass guitar, drums and electronic low frequencies gain additional depth that smaller soundbar drivers can struggle to reproduce on their own, creating a fuller listening experience for music as well as films.
• Get Big Bass Without a Huge Subwoofer – Bose packages the system into a compact enclosure measuring approximately 25cm across, making it easier to integrate into living rooms where a large floor-standing subwoofer would be intrusive.
• Keep Your Home-Cinema Setup Cleaner – The module connects wirelessly to compatible Bose soundbars, so there is no need for a long audio cable running between the television area and the subwoofer. A mains power connection is still required.
• Set It Up with Minimal Fuss – Bose designed the Bass Module 500 to pair quickly with compatible soundbars, making it an easy upgrade rather than requiring a complicated AV receiver and speaker configuration.
• Use a Wired Connection When Preferred – If wireless positioning is unsuitable, the Bass Module 500 can be connected to selected Bose soundbars using the optional Bose Bass Module Connection Cable.
• Upgrade Your Existing Bose Smart Soundbar – Current Bose compatibility includes the Bose Smart Soundbar, Smart Ultra Soundbar, Smart Soundbar 600, Smart Soundbar 900, Smart Soundbar 300, Smart Soundbar 700, Soundbar 500 and SoundTouch 300.
• Add Bass to the Bose TV Speaker – The Bass Module 500 can also be used with the Bose TV Speaker, although Bose specifies a wired connection for that pairing.
• Build a More Immersive Bose Home-Cinema System – Pair the bass module with compatible Bose Surround Speakers and a Bose soundbar to expand from a simple soundbar setup into a more enveloping home-cinema system.
• Fine-Tune Bass Through Placement – Bose recommends positioning the module on the floor along the same wall as the television and soundbar. Moving it closer to a wall or corner increases perceived bass, while moving it away can reduce bass emphasis.
• Easy to Position Around the Room – At approximately 5kg, the module is considerably easier to move than many large home-cinema subwoofers, allowing you to experiment with placement to find the best balance for your room.
• Designed to Stay Discreet – The compact Black enclosure keeps visual attention on your television and soundbar while the bass module provides the low-frequency performance from elsewhere in the room.

Why Choose This Product

The Bose Bass Module 500 is a particularly worthwhile upgrade when you already enjoy the clarity and convenience of a Bose soundbar but want films and music to have more physical impact.

Soundbars are excellent for simplifying a television setup, but their slim cabinets naturally limit how much deep bass they can produce. The Bass Module 500 takes responsibility for those lower frequencies, allowing the overall Bose system to deliver a more convincing home-cinema experience.

Its biggest advantage is that it achieves this without requiring a huge cabinet. At roughly 25cm square, it can sit discreetly beside a television unit, near a wall or in a corner while still providing the additional low-frequency presence Bose designed it to deliver.

Wireless connectivity also keeps installation straightforward. Compatible Bose soundbars communicate with the module without a dedicated audio cable running across the room, leaving only the power cable to manage.

For Bose users who want stronger movie effects, fuller music and a more cinematic overall sound without installing a complicated traditional surround system, the Bass Module 500 is a natural upgrade
