PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
The RoomMatch
®
Array Module Loudspeakers deliver superb audio quality for fixed-installations
in almost any room size, shape, acoustic requirement, or budget. Overcoming the acoustic
limitations of both line array and point-source conventional designs, RoomMatch modules form a
new class of curvilinear array that allow seamless audio quality, with consistent front-to-back and
side-to-side tonal balance.
Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Loudspeaker Versions
The RoomMatch speakers come in two high-level versions, in various degrees of dispersion.
The original versions have symmetrical horizontal dispersion angles, meaning that the pattern is
the same to the left and right of the speaker’s centerline as viewed from the front. The asym-
metrical version’s horizontal dispersion angles are different to the left and right of the centerline
of the speaker, as viewed from the front. This allows better directivity of the horizontal dispersion
pattern and makes setup easier in difficult installations. Refer to the specifications tables for
each version for more information.
Key Features
• Concert-Quality Sound – New Bose patented technologies combine to provide audio quality
equaling that of the best concert-sound systems, in a fixed-installation format.
• RoomMatch™ Waveguide Technology – 5 vertical and 4 horizontal coverage pattern choices
allow arrays to direct sound precisely to desired listening areas, improving audio quality by
reducing unwanted acoustic reflections.
• Progressive Directivity Arrays - A new class of curvilinear array in which the coverage and
directivity index of each module is selected to optimize room coverage and system effi-
ciency.
• Continuous-Arc Diffraction-Slot (CADS) Manifold – Bose patented design provides
interference-free acoustic summation of 6 compression drivers and acoustically-equal
spacing of diffraction slots across multiple modules.
• Bose EMB-2 and LF10 Drivers – Patented new Bose transducers combine to deliver the
vocal clarity of 3-way systems with the improved polar response typical of 2-way systems.
Wiring
The RoomMatch array module is equipped with two (2) Neutrik
®
NL4 connectors wired in parallel
to allow loop-through connection to an additional module. The connector is factory wired to
provide discrete amplifierchannel drive to each section as follows:
