The Bose EdgeMax EM180-LP is a compact in-ceiling loudspeaker that combines bold performance with a discreet design. Featuring patented PhaseGuide® technology, it delivers focused sound from the room's edge. With 180-degree horizontal coverage for edge placement and a shallow 4-inch backcan, it's ideal for low ceilings and tight above-ceiling spaces.

Description

Bose EdgeMax EM180-LP Low-Profile In-Ceiling Loudspeaker with 180-Degree Coverage

EdgeMax loudspeakers combine bold surface-mount performance with stealthy design to shatter the limitations of traditional in-ceiling loudspeakers. Patented PhaseGuide® technology enables EdgeMax loudspeakers to project powerful, focused sound asymmetrically from the room’s edges to the center. New EdgeMax LP models feature an 80-degree vertical coverage angle for use in rooms with lower ceilings, and their shallow 4-inch backcan is ideal for spaces with above-ceiling limitations and tighter clearances. Larger rooms with higher SPL needs benefit from the powerful, deeper 9-inch cans and 75-degree vertical coverage of the original EdgeMax models. EdgeMax models are purpose-built to provide specific horizontal coverage. The EM180-LP’s 180-degree horizontal coverage angle makes it ideal for placement along the ceiling edge. It provides a wide and consistent sound pattern optimized for near-field applications and room-filling coverage. Integrators can “mix and match” original EdgeMax and new LP loudspeakers, particularly in challenging installations with varying space dimensions and above-ceiling obstructions.

Designed for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Conference rooms, halls, atriums & cafeterias
  • Hospitality spaces with low ceiling clearance
  • Restaurant
  • Retail
  • Retrofits with unknown ceiling clearance

Features

  • Patented PhaseGuide technology distributes sound asymmetrically throughout the space to ensure all listeners enjoy the same experience—regardless of their location
  • In-ceiling installation for minimum visual impact, with fewer units required to deliver uniform sound
  • High-frequency compression driver and high-excursion woofer for exceptional audio quality and power
  • In-ceiling mounting along room edges and corners; purpose-built for specific horizontal coverage—90 degrees for corner placement or a wider 180 degrees—ideal for near-field and wide coverage
  • Wall-boundary loading for greater bass response and performance
  • 2-way passive crossover with bypassable 70/100V transformer
  • Consistent voicing across the EdgeMax family
  • QuickHold spring-loaded mounting system for easy installs
  • Magnetically attached grille for quick access to wiring and tap settings
  • Shallow 4-inch (10 cm) backcan height for rooms with above-ceiling limitations and tighter clearances
  • 80-degree vertical coverage angle for use in rooms with lower ceilings
  • UL 62368 and UL 2043 safety standard compliance
