in-ceiling loudspeaker
Product Overview
DesignMax loudspeakers bring outstanding audio
and aesthetics to any commercial space. The 50watt DesignMax DM5C loudspeakers each feature
a two-way 5.25-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter
coaxially mounted within the Dispersion Alignment
system, producing a frequency range of 65 Hz 20 kHz. The DM5C is ceiling-mounted and installs
easily via QuickHold mounting arms. And with
both black and white versions available, DesignMax
loudspeakers integrate seamlessly with any décor.
Key Features
Deliver instantly impressive sound with custom Bose 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 into any room design with elegant form factors, 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 — includes Euroblock connector, plenum-rated backcan, tile-bridge, and front-access audio wiring that makes
installation and troubleshooting easier
