Bose Professional incorporates PhaseGuide technology in its EdgeMax ceiling speakers

Combining the typical coverage patterns of surface speakers with the aesthetics of ceiling speakers, These new equipment represent a new category of products from the manufacturer.

The new EdgeMax Premium Ceiling Speakers from Bose Professional provide sound coverage for an entire room at a time, improving its quality with respect to the behavior of traditional ceiling speakers thanks to the proprietary technology of the manufacturer PhaseGuide.

Designed for mounting close to walls, EdgeMax speakers project high frequencies throughout rooms up to 20 meters wide, placing them only on the perimeter, In addition to covering an area that would require up to four conventional speakers with conical coverage. In this way, se elimina la necesidad de instalar altavoces de techo en la parte central de las salas o de superficie en las paredes.

Gracias a este diseño único y a su patrón de cobertura consistente, los instaladores pueden adaptarse mejor a los requerimientos del espacio (shops, bureaux, Rooms, Etc.), facilitando tanto la sonoridad como la estética, con una óptima inteligibilidad de palabra y para música.

Como señala Alan B. Shirley, product line manager de altavoces para instalación en Bose Professional, “los nuevos altavoces de techo premium EdgeMax crean una nueva categoría. Combinando los patrones de cobertura típicos de altavoces de superficie grandes con la estética de los de techo -preferidos por la mayoría de arquitectos, diseñadores e integradores- EdgeMax provides superior audio quality and coverage by reducing the number of ceiling speakers needed, comparing them with conventional models".

These systems are available in two different horizontal coverage patterns. The EdgeMax EM90 has 90° horizontal coverage and is designed for ceiling mounting near the corners of the room. For its part, EdgeMax EM180 has a horizontal coverage of 180º and designed for centered ceiling mounting, near the wall.

Both models have an asymmetrical vertical coverage of 75º, which is optimized for ceiling heights between 2,5 and 6 M, and will be presented during InfoComm 2017, of the 14 to the 16 June in Orlando (Florida – USA), Although it is expected that they will be ready for commercialization in the market by the end of this year, which in the case of Spain distributes Gaplasa.
