Bose Professional Introduces EdgeMax™ In-Ceiling Premium Loudspeakers with PhaseGuide ® Technology
Combining the superior coverage patterns typical of larger surface-mount loudspeakers with the visually appealing aesthetics of in-ceiling loudspeakers, EdgeMax™ represents an entirely new product category
EdgeMax loudspeakers feature proprietary Bose PhaseGuide ® technology, which provides room-filling coverage while improving overall sound quality compared to the performance of conventional ceiling loudspeakers. Designed for mounting near wall boundaries, EdgeMax loudspeakers project highfrequency sound throughout rooms up to 65 feet( 20 m) wide using only perimeter mounting locations, and can effectively cover an area that would require up to four conventional conical-coverage models. Thus, EdgeMax loudspeakers can eliminate the need for conventional ceiling speakers mounted in the center of rooms, or surface-mount loudspeakers mounted on walls. And because of their unique design and consistent coverage pattern, EdgeMax loudspeakers enable installers to move efficiently through the installation, creating a great-looking and great-sounding end result. Additionally, EdgeMax loudspeakers produce excellent intelligibility for speech and full-frequency response for music, making it ideal for retail, commercial, industrial, institutional and residential applications.
“ The new EdgeMax in-ceiling premium loudspeakers really create a new category of loudspeakers,” states Arun Kumar, Divisional Manager, Bose Professional- SAARC“ Combining the superior coverage patterns typical of larger surface-mount loudspeakers with the visually appealing aesthetics of inceiling loudspeakers – which are preferred by most architects, interior designers and system integrators – EdgeMax loudspeakers can provide superior audio quality and coverage while reducing the number of in-ceiling loudspeakers required, compared to conventional models.”
EdgeMax in-ceiling premium loudspeakers are available with two different horizontal coverage patterns. EdgeMax EM90 models provide nominal 90-degree horizontal coverage and are intended for in-ceiling mounting near room corners. EdgeMax EM180 models provide nominal 180-degree horizontal coverage and are intended for in-ceiling mounting near wall boundaries centered along target coverage zones. Both models feature 75-degree asymmetrical vertical coverage, which is optimized for ceiling heights between eight feet and 20 feet.
Key features of EdgeMax in-ceiling premium loudspeakers:
• PhaseGuide technology, which provides unique asymmetrical vertical coverage pattern designed for room-filling sound when mounted in-ceiling near wall boundaries
• 1.3-inch diaphragm compression driver for best-in-class audio quality with superior frequency response and coverage consistency versus typical dome tweeters
• Eight-inch woofer with wall-boundary loading, which provides extended bass impact
• Two-way passive crossover with 8-ohm or 70V / 100V transformer taps
• New mounting-clamp system for fast, easy installs
• Magnetically attached grill for quick access to wiring and tap settings
• UL1480 listing for air-handling( plenum) space installation
• Easy installation, saving integrators time in the field
EdgeMax in-ceiling premium loudspeakers will be previewed during the 2017 InfoComm show and are scheduled for fourthquarter 2017 availability.
