EdgeMax

Overview

Bose Professional EdgeMax in-ceiling premium loudspeakers feature PhaseGuide technology with high-frequency compression drivers to create a new category that combines the room-filling 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 — provides unique asymmetrical vertical pattern for room-filling coverage when mounting near wall-ceiling boundary

  • Provides improved room visual appearance — for demanding interior designs by eliminating center-of-ceiling or wall-mounted loudspeakers

  • Nominal 180° horizontal coverage — designed for in-ceiling mounting near room corners

  • High-frequency compression driver — for best-in-class audio quality with superior frequency response and coverage consistency versus typical dome tweeters

  • 8-inch woofer — with wall-boundary loading provides extended bass impact

  • 2-way passive crossover with 70/100V transformer

  • New auto-hold, spring-loaded mounting arms — for fast, easy installs
