Big things do come in small packages.
Top Features
Fully tuned passive crossover
Each Forum model is ready to play, right from the factory. The fully tuned passive crossover means no additional processing is required—just plug in and get excellent performance with any full-range signal. Pair with Bose Professional electronics for enhanced performance. The bi-amp mode switch allows you to bypass the crossover and drive each transducer directly.
High-excursion coaxial drivers
Forum’s coaxial design combines the low- and high-frequency drivers in a single unit to provide high fidelity and exceptional output in a compact form factor. Models deliver up to 126 dB max SPL with 110° × 60° coverage, ensuring consistent audio distribution across the space.
Beamwidth Matching Waveguide
The proprietary Beamwidth Matching Waveguide aligns low and high frequencies for tonal consistency across the coverage area—ensuring that music and speech sound natural no matter where you’re standing.
Smarter waveguide design for smoother coverage
By doubling as the cabinet’s front baffle, the waveguide maximizes available surface area—creating the largest possible structure for precise pattern control. This design helps maintain consistent coverage through the crossover region, aligning low and high frequency dispersion for a more uniform listening experience. Integrated low-frequency energy vents further improve performance by channeling bass through the waveguide itself, preserving tonal balance across the full listening area.
Flexible mounting options
Forum loudspeakers provide flexible installation options, with multiple mounting points for horizontal or vertical orientation. Add a U-bracket, suspension rail, external pole adapter, or eyebolts for secure, versatile setups to meet your space’s unique demands. An IP43 rating ensures reliable long-term performance in both indoor and protected outdoor environments.
