Description
Built for zone-fill coverage or high-SPL foreground music, Bose ArenaMatch Utility loudspeakers feature similar tonal balance to ArenaMatch array modules but in compact designs. They have the same EMB2S compression driver as ArenaMatch arrays, ensuring consistent sound, and the same IP55 weather rating. Deploy them for zone-fill coverage in sports stadiums, arenas, outdoor entertainment centers, and more. Or use them to provide intelligible, high-level sound in any outdoor area - from niche venues such as breweries and fairgrounds to larger settings like resorts and outdoor shopping centers.
The AMU208 is a small-format ArenaMatch Utility model for outdoor applications that require excellent audio from compact loudspeaker. It provides wide, even coverage with a 90deg. x 60deg. constant-directivity high-frequency horn, 70 Hz - 16 kHz frequency response, 126 dB peak SPL, and supports the lowest vocal ranges with two Bose LF8 8-inch woofers.
Features:
- Deploy as zone-fill to support ArenaMatch arrays systems, delivering powerful, intelligible sound and ensuring consistent tonal balance with EMB2S compression drivers in every speaker
- Deploy to provide high-level foreground music in any outdoor venue
Install outdoors with an IP55 weather rating, three-layer stainless steel grille, water-resistant woofer cone coating, industrial polyurethane exterior coating, and molded cover to protect inputs - Adapt to a variety of configurations - all models ship standard with 70/100V transformer inputs and passive crossover with optimized filters for each transducer for more consistent frequency and polar response
- Streamline the design process by combining with complementary Bose Professional products, such as PowerMatch amplifiers and ControlSpace DSPs
- Provide wide, even coverage with 90deg. x 60deg. constant-directivity high-frequency horn, which can be rotated for horizontal or vertical installation
Perform in the most demanding applications with 70 Hz - 16 kHz frequency response and 126 dB maximum peak SPL
Support lowest vocal range with 2x Bose LF8 8-inch woofers featuring a 2-inch extended-excursion voice coil, which extends response to 70 Hz
Applications:
- Performing arts venues
- Places of worship
- Conference centers
- Retail stores
- Restaurants and bars
- Hospitality venues
