TECHNICAL DATA

Panaray® MSA12X

modular steerable array loudspeaker

Product Overview

The Bose Professional Panaray® MSA12X is a self-powered digital beam-steering loudspeaker that enables improved room aesthetics,
with outstanding vocal intelligibility and tonal consistency. The proprietary Articulated Array® transducer configuration allows wide,
160° horizontal coverage throughout the room, and MSA12X’s modular design allows building of vertical arrays using 1-3 units. Dante®
digital audio network interface comes standard for connection with other Dante-enabled products over Ethernet-based networks.

Key Features

• Digital beam-steering line array column loudspeaker with onboard DSP and 600 watts (12 x 50 W)

of amplification

• Family sound profile with the Panaray MA12EX Loudspeaker

• Twelve (12) x 2.25-inch full-range transducers with 58 Hz – 18 kHz frequency range

• Dante® digital audio network interface and line-level analog input

• Articulated Array® configuration allows wide, 160° horizontal coverage

• Modular design allows building vertical arrays using 1-3 units

• Multiple algorithms for beam steering control – designers can optimize consistency of coverage,

tonal balance, and maximum SPL per job

• Supports independent level and EQ control of 2 separate beams per array

• Integrated mounting bracket allows up 90° of horizontal yaw adjustment

• Advanced steering and acoustic coverage prediction using Bose Modeler® software

• System setup, control and monitoring with Bose ControlSpace® Designer™ software

• Available in black or white finish
