DesignMax

Overview

With coaxial two-way drivers, the 150-watt Bose Professional DesignMax DM8S loudspeaker delivers powerful SPL suitable for foreground music — along with premium aesthetics that complement any commercial sound installation. The DM8s features a two-way, 8-inch woofer and a center-firing coaxial 1-inch compression driver, delivering a 52 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range. The DM8S is surface-mounted and locks onto a hidden QuickHold U-bracket for fast, secure installation.
