Description
Bose Professional EdgeMax in-ceiling premium loudspeakers feature proprietary Bose PhaseGuide® technology with high-frequency compression drivers to create a new category that combines the room- lling coverage patterns typical of larger surface-mount speakers with the architect-preferred aesthetics of in-ceiling models. Designed to mount near wall-ceiling boundaries, EdgeMax loudspeakers provide improved audio quality and coverage, while reducing the number of required units, compared to conventional dome-tweeter ceiling speakers.
Features:
- PhaseGuide technology produces unique asymmetrical vertical pattern for room-filling sound
- EdgeMax EM90 provides nominal 90° horizontal coverage from room corners
- EdgeMax EM180 provides nominal 180° horizontal coverage from center ceiling-wall locations
- Full-frequency range 60 – 18,000 Hz (-10 dB)
- Maximum SPL up to 119 dB continuous and 125 dB peak
- 2-way system combines Bose 1.3"-diaphragm compression driver and 8" woofer
- Passive crossover with 8 Ω or 70/100V transformer taps
- New auto-hold, spring-loaded mounting arms for fast, easy installs; Ships with tile bridge
- UL1480 listing for air-handling (plenum) space installation
- Magnetically attached white grille for quick access to wiring and tap settings
- Black grille and rough-in pan accessories will be available
