Bose Professional has added four new pendant loudspeakers — the DM3P and DM5P loudspeakers, the DM6PE outdoor-rated loudspeaker, and the DM10P-SUB subwoofer — to the celebrated DesignMax loudspeaker range. Ideal for open-ceiling installations, each unit is attractively designed with sleek aesthetics and provides a recessed single-point suspension system, enabling hardware to be kept out of sight, and a service loop to be held and hidden for easy access in the future.
Bose loudspeakers have been trusted by system designers and installers for years for delivering premium audio experiences for commercial sound installations. From retail stores to restaurants and hotels to convention centers, the DesignMax family offers a complete loudspeaker collection that delivers instantly impressive sound anywhere — with rich lows and clear, intelligible highs — both indoors and outside.
First introduced in 2019, the DesignMax family includes coaxial two-way loudspeakers and subwoofers with in-ceiling and surface-mount models available — plus high-SPL compression-driver options, compact models for tight spaces, and various IP55-rated outdoor options. All models deliver impressive performance with no DSP or EQ required. They can also be paired with select Bose DSPs and amplifiers to enable Bose loudspeaker EQ and SmartBass processing, expanding performance and response at any listening level.
“Our latest additions to the DesignMax family deliver instantly impressive performance alongside the adaptability and style needed to blend into, and enhance, a variety of indoor and outdoor commercial spaces,” comments Andy Kyte, product manager for Installed Sound for Bose Professional. “From concept and design to installation and operation, these four new models have the features, aesthetics and flexibility to deliver easy installation and great performance — making every phase of a project more successful and leaving guests and clients more than satisfied with everything they hear and see.”
The DM3P, DM5P and DM6PE pendant loudspeakers all feature the Bose Dispersion Alignment system, ensuring a consistent listening experience throughout the room by matching the coverage of the woofer to the pattern of the tweeter.
