Bose EdgeMax EM180 In-Ceiling Loudspeaker – White

Bose Professional EdgeMax EM180 In-Ceiling Loudspeaker White

The Bose Professional EdgeMax EM180 In-Ceiling Loudspeaker White is EM180 premium in-ceiling loudspeaker uses PhaseGuide technology to deliver directional, room-filling coverage from wall and ceiling boundaries while maintaining architectural aesthetics. EdgeMax products are designed for placement near wall and ceiling boundaries, allowing sound to project into the room while keeping the loudspeaker visually integrated with the ceiling. This approach is useful where conventional centrally mounted ceiling speakers would provide less efficient coverage.

The EM180 uses PhaseGuide technology and a compression-driver/woofer architecture to create a defined directional coverage pattern. The horizontal coverage differs by model, while the vertical pattern is referenced to the adjacent wall. This directional behavior helps integrators position the loudspeaker around room perimeters and direct energy toward the listening area.

Transformer taps support distributed 70V and 100V systems, while transformer bypass provides low-impedance operation. The EM180 also includes ceiling installation hardware such as a tile bridge and hole template. The low-profile versions use a shallower backcan, making them appropriate where above-ceiling depth is restricted.

The EM180 is intended for commercial spaces such as retail environments, restaurants, hospitality areas, transportation facilities, houses of worship, and conference venues. Its defined power handling, sensitivity, coverage, dimensions, and ceiling cutout allow system designers to calculate placement and amplifier requirements accurately. The result is a professional ceiling loudspeaker solution focused on directional coverage, architectural integration, and predictable installation. Careful placement and configuration can further support even sound distribution and consistent intelligibility across the intended listening area.
