in-ceiling premium loudspeakers. EdgeMax loudspeakers feature proprietary Bose

Phase Guide

technology, provides room-fi lling coverage while improving overall sound quality
compared to the performance of conventional ceiling loudspeakers. Designed for mounting near wall
boundaries, EdgeMax loudspeakers project high-frequency sound throughout rooms up to 65 feet
(20 m) wide using only perimeter mounting locations and can effectively cover an area that would
require up to four conventional conical-coverage models. Thus, EdgeMax loudspeakers eliminate
the need for conventional ceiling speakers mounted in the center of rooms, or surface-mount
loudspeakers mounted on walls. And because of their unique design and consistent coverage pattern,
EdgeMax loudspeakers enable installers to move effi ciently through the installation, creating a
great-looking and great-sounding end result. Additionally, EdgeMax loudspeakers produce excellent
intelligibility for speech and full-frequency response for music, making it ideal for retail, commercial,
industrial, institutional and residential applications.
EdgeMax in-ceiling premium loudspeakers are available with two different horizontal coverage
patterns. EdgeMax EM90 models provide nominal 90-degree horizontal coverage and are intended
for in-ceiling mounting near room corners. EdgeMax EM180 models provide nominal 180-degree
horizontal coverage and are intended for in-ceiling mounting near wall boundaries centered along
target coverage zones. Both models feature 75-degree asymmetrical vertical coverage, which is
optimized for ceiling heights between eight feet and 20 feet.
