Description
The RoomMatch Utility RMU208 small-format sound reinforcement loudspeaker is intended for use in high-quality foreground music, under-balcony, zone fill and vocal-range floor monitor applications. The design features a single Bose® EMB2 compression driver to provide mid/high frequency voicing similar to that of RoomMatch full-range array modules. Dual 8-inch woofers provide full-range output and a multi-angle enclosure increases mounting flexibility.
Features:
- Award-winning RoomMatch sound – now in smaller 2-way point-source designs for high-level foreground music, under-balcony, zone-fill and vocal-range floor monitor applications
- Bose EMB2 compression driver – for lower distortion and improved vocal clarity compared to conventional foreground/fill models; also provides consistent mid/high sonic character compared to that of RoomMatch full-range and other RoomMatch Utility models
- 90° x 60° constant-directivity high-frequency horn – gives wide, even coverage and may be rotated in enclosure
- 2 x Bose LF8 8-inch woofer – with 2.0-inch extended-excursion voice coil extends response to 70 Hz for lowest vocal range
- Quasi-3-way passive crossover with separate filters for each transducer – provides more consistent frequency and polar response compared to conventional crossover designs
- 70 Hz – 16 kHz frequency response and 126 dB maximum peak SPL – deliver the performance required for most demanding applications
- Flexible mounting with included U-bracket – rear enclosure panel also includes 4 x M8 threaded inserts in 5.0” x 2.75” (127mm x 70mm) pattern to accept third-party accessory mounting brackets
Applications:
- Under-balcony and zone fill
- High-quality foreground music
- Stage-front fill
- Vocal-range floor monitor
