Bose Professional walks through a ceiling-first approach to commercial audio, starting with DesignMax Luna DML88P: a pendant loudspeaker designed for open ceilings where you still want consistent SPL and tonal balance across a room. The core idea is wide, even coverage (a 140° pattern) paired with an integrated 8-inch woofer that reaches down to about 40 Hz, so many installs can keep the low end without immediately adding subwoofers. Typical mounting guidance lands around 3 to 4.5 meters, aiming for uniform “no hot spots, no dead zones” sound in hospitality, retail, and fitness spaces. https://boseprofessional.com/products/loudspeakers/pendant-mount/designmax-pendant-mount/designmax-luna-dml88p-loudspeaker
The interview then shifts to the DesignMax DM12SE, positioned as a higher-output, full-range box for spaces that want more headroom and deeper bass while keeping a clean install aesthetic. Technically it’s a 12-inch coaxial design with wide 100° conical coverage, and it’s built to be weatherized, so it can cross over from indoor performance areas to covered outdoor zones. Practical details like pan/tilt mounting and factory-optimized tunings matter here, because they reduce commissioning time while still allowing predictable voicing.
EdgeMax gets a quick but important spotlight because it solves a common ceiling-speaker limitation: how to throw sound from the room edge into listening areas without turning the ceiling into a grid of cans. Using Bose PhaseGuide technology, EdgeMax EM90/EM180 creates an asymmetrical pattern (90° or 180°) that behaves more like a surface-mount loudspeaker, but from an in-ceiling form factor. In real rooms—corners, perimeter seating, or classrooms—this can improve intelligibility and stereo coverage while keeping the architecture quiet.
On the portable and “roll-in” side, the conversation name-checks Bose’s F1 plus sub systems and the L1 Pro family, including the L1 Pro32 with 32 small drivers arranged to form a J-shaped array for broad horizontal coverage and controlled vertical behavior. That’s a useful bridge between fixed install and events: you can support a venue’s day-to-day background or program audio, then bring in portable reinforcement for peak nights without redesigning the whole rig.
Later, filmed at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, the tour widens into Bose Professional’s large-venue catalog—ArenaMatch and ShowMatch—where arrayable boxes and DeltaQ-based pattern control target stadium bowls, balconies, and long-throw live spaces. The key takeaway is that the portfolio scales from discreet ceiling and pendant coverage to high-SPL, coverage-managed systems, while keeping a consistent engineering vocabulary around directivity, intelligibility, and install efficiency.
