Product Overview

Alignment system, delivering a frequency range of
65Hz – 20 kHz. The in-ceiling DM5C is installed easily

Key Features
Combine DesignMax models to complete any design, big or small — 12 loudspeakers to mix and match, from 2-inch, low-profile
models to 8-inch, high-SPL compression-driver loudspeakers and outdoor-rated options.
Deliver rich lows and clear, intelligible highs with coaxial two-way drivers — no DSP or EQ required. For even better sound, use
select Bose DSPs and amplifiers to enable Bose loudspeaker EQ and SmartBass processing, which expands performance and
response at any listening level.
Ensure a consistent listening experience throughout the room with the Dispersion Alignment system, which matches the coverage
of the woofer to the pattern of the tweeter.
Blend with any room design with elegant form factor, minimum-bezel grilles available in black or white, and removable logos.
Reduce installation time with the patented QuickHold mounting system, which also reduces strain, hassle, and the chance of
product damage.
Install easily with industry-standard accessories — all models include Euroblock connectors; in-ceiling models include plenum-
rated backcans, tile bridges, and front-access audio wiring that makes installation and troubleshooting easier.
