Bose MSA12X Powered Beam-Steering Array Loudspeaker (Black)

Overview

The Bose 787856-1110 is a powered beam-steering array loudspeaker designed to deliver clear vocals and rich musical performance in spaces with challenging acoustics. It features 12 independently controlled transducers that create a precise vertical sound beam, ensuring consistent sound quality across the audience while minimizing echoes and unwanted reflections. With 600 watts of integrated amplification and a frequency response from 75 Hz to 18 kHz, this loudspeaker is well suited for venues like theaters, houses of worship, and conference halls.

Its dual-beam capability allows coverage of two separate areas simultaneously, such as a main floor and balcony, without losing clarity or volume. The modular design supports stacking up to three units to expand coverage and improve low-frequency response, making it adaptable to larger or more complex environments. Connectivity is streamlined with Dante digital audio and ControlSpace system compatibility, while the 160-degree horizontal coverage ensures even sound distribution. The sleek black finish can be painted to blend into any setting.
