BoseCineMatePulse is a Windows tray utility designed to keep your Bose CineMate Home Theatre Speaker System (or other similar speakers) from going to sleep due to inactivity.
The Bose CineMate speakers automatically go to sleep after a certain period of audio inactivity. This utility helps keep the speakers active by generating short inaudible frequencies.
The program generates inaudible tones at 1 Hz, 2 Hz, and 3 Hz. These tones are played periodically to prevent the speakers from going to sleep. The application runs in the system tray and automatically plays the wake-up sound every 20 minutes. You can also manually trigger the wake-up sound by clicking the tray icon.
