Bose Professional EdgeMax EM180

Ceiling loudspeaker

Bose Professional's EdgeMax series combines the performance of large, bulky surface-mount speakers with a concealed design to break through the limitations of traditional ceiling speakers.

Dual drivers and patented PhaseGuide® technology allow EdgeMax speakers to emit powerful, focused sound from the edge of the room to the center. They provide incredible directionality and intelligibility to ensure all listeners hear the same sound - regardless of their location.

Larger rooms with higher SPL requirements, such as fitness centers, benefit from the powerful, deeper 9-inch (24 cm) EdgeMax EM boxes. In these demanding environments, EM models deliver proven performance, with immersive full-frequency sound for music and clear voice intelligibility, even at high volume. In addition, EM models are designed with 75-degree vertical coverage, optimal for rooms with higher ceilings.

Key features:

  • The patented PhaseGuide technology evenly distributes sound throughout the space, ensuring that all listeners have the same experience - regardless of their location.
  • High-frequency compression driver and high excursion woofer deliver exceptional sound quality and power
  • In-ceiling mounting provides minimal visual impact, with fewer units required to provide uniform sound
  • Mounting in the ceiling near the edges and corners of the room (75° vertical and 180° horizontal coverage)
  • Wall border loading for better bass response and performance
  • 2-way passive crossover with 70/100V transformer bypass capability
  • Consistent sound across the EdgeMax family
  • QuickHold spring mounting system for easy installation
  • Magnetically attached bezel provides quick access to wiring and tapping settings
  • Compliance with UL 1480A and UL 2043 safety standards

Application:

  • Bars and restaurants
  • Fitness clubs
  • Sacred objects
  • Performance spaces
  • Hotels
  • Commercial spaces
