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 .”
