Important Safety Information pro.Bose.com
This product is intended for installation by professional installers only! This document is intended to provide professional
installers with basic installation and safety guidelines for Bose RoomMatch™ loudspeakers in typical fixed-installation systems.
Please read this document before attempting installation.
WARNING: All Bose® products must be used in accordance with local, state, federal and industry regulations. It is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure installation of the loudspeakers and mounting system is performed in accordance with all applicable
codes, including local building codes and regulations. Consult the local authority having jurisdiction before installing this
product.
WARNING: Unsafe mounting or overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious injury and equipment damage. It
is the responsibility of the installer to evaluate the reliability of any mounting method used for their application. Only professional
installers with the knowledge of proper hardware and safe mounting techniques should attempt to install any loudspeaker
overhead.
Guidelines for Permanent Installation of RoomMatch™ Array Module Loudspeakers
The installation information contained in this document is only a general guideline and cannot, as such, represent all requirements and
precautions. Accordingly, anyone using this material assumes all liability and is expressly responsible for the safety of all loudspeaker
array designs and mounting configurations applied in practice.
1. Prior to the installation of any overhead loudspeaker, a licensed professional engineer must approve the location and method of
attachment to the building structure and confirm they are consistent with all building codes and regulations. Ensure the mounting
surface and the method of attaching the loudspeaker system to the surface is capable of supporting the total weight of the system.
A safety factor of 10:1 is recommended.
2. Obtain all mounting system components from reputable manufacturers. Select a mounting system appropriate for your loudspeaker
system and its intended application. We recommend Bose mounting accessories when available. A licensed professional engineer
must review the design and fabrication of any custom mounting hardware.
3. Bose RoomMatch™ array module loudspeakers feature an integrated side-plate rigging system, designed to facilitate loudspeaker
array mounting by professional installers. Module to module connections should be made using only the integrated rigging side
plates with the included M10 graded fasteners. Do NOT use SAE 3/8” size threaded hardware! Use only metric hardware. Fasteners
should be metric Class 10.9 (load bearing rated) or equivalent. Unmarked (not rated for load bearing) fasteners should not be used.
4. Do not suspend loudspeaker using handles as attachment points. Handles are NOT designed for load bearing!
®
5. Use lock washers or a locking compound intended for hand disassembly, such as LOCTITE
compound, for a vibration resistant assembly.
6. Fasteners should be tightened using torque of 35 to 40 foot-pounds (47 to 54 Newton-meters). Over-tightening the fasteners could
result in irreparable damage to the cabinet and create an unsafe assembly.
7. Do not attempt to alter the threaded attachment points or re-thread the attachment points to accommodate any other thread size or
type; doing so will compromise the safety while permanently damaging the loudspeaker.
8. Use a safety cable, separately attached to the cabinet, at a point not in common with the load bearing attachment points of the
mounting system to the loudspeaker. This is recommended even if not required by local regulation. Consult a licensed professional
engineer or a rigging professional for proper design and installation.
CAUTION: Installed loudspeaker arrays require regular inspection and routine maintenance to ensure proper function and
safe operation. Inspect mounting hardware and attachments for signs of corrosion, bending or any other condition that may
decrease the structural integrity. Immediately replace worn or damaged components.
CAUTION: Make no modifications to the loudspeakers or mounting accessories. Unauthorized alterations may compromise
safety and could result in damage, injury, or death.
CAUTION: Never exceed 8 RoomMatch modules using the integrated rigging side plates for arrays. Please refer to product
labels and the Array Design and Installation Guide document for Working Load Limit data.

Array Rigging
Each RoomMatch™ full-range module includes integrated side-plate array rigging hardware. The rigging system is designed to
allow fast construction of typical fixed-installation arrays of up to 8 modules, while maintaining a 10:1 Safety Factor. Additionally, the
RoomMatch™ RMS215 subwoofer is designed to integrate with full-range modules in arrays when the optional RMSFLY accessory part
is installed on the subwoofer. To connect RoomMatch™ modules for suspended arrays, the following steps are recommended:
Note: Prior installation of field wiring and a safety-rated suspension system, e.g. chain-hoist motors or wire-rope slings, is assumed.
Motors may be used as a permanent suspension method or to temporarily elevate an array to final position for attachment to conventional rigging hardware.
Note: All lifting operations require two individuals positioned on each side of the loudspeaker.
Before You Begin – Recommended Tools
(2) 15 mm sockets and socket wrenches (module to module bolts: M10 x 30 mm)
(2) 17 mm sockets and socket wrenches (if using frame extender bars)
(2) 17 mm combination wrenches (for extender bar bolts)
(2) 5/16-inch Aligning Punch (optional; to aid bolt alignment)
Preparing Modules for Installation
Step 1
Retain orange-color Temporary Installation Handles included in package. Remove the RoomMatch™ modules from the shipping
cartons, remove packing materials, and place the loudspeakers on the floor beneath planned suspension point.
Caution: Do not place loudspeakers resting on grills.
Caution: Place loudspeakers on a flat surface; verify loudspeaker weight is not supported by driver adapters.
Step 2
Locate the temporary installation handles and thread onto each module (see module instruction sheet).
Step 3
Remove four (4) M10 bolts from top of rigging side plates for each module (2 per side).
Section A: Small or Large Array Frame (without Extender Bars)
1. Use RoomMatch™ Array Suspension Angle Calculator software to determine the hole positions on the array frames for required
aiming angles and confirm array does not exceed load limits of frame.
(You may also contact your local Bose Technical Support or Field Engineer for this information.)
2. Place array frame directly under the chain motors positioned for intended array location.
3. Attach 5/8 –inch forged steel frame shackles to array frame in hole positions determined by aiming software.
4. Lower chain motors and attach to shackles installed on array frame.
