Bose Professional DesignMax DM6SE Surface-Mount Loudspeakers (Black, Pair)

Bose Professional DesignMax DM6SE is a surface-mount loudspeaker pair designed for indoor and outdoor commercial audio installations. It enables full-range sound reproduction for system designers and integrators, supporting distributed background and foreground audio workflows. This makes it ideal for venues where weather resistance and consistent coverage are critical.

The loudspeakers operate using coaxial two-way drivers with a passive crossover and Dispersion Alignment system. They support low-impedance operation as well as 70V and 100V distributed systems through selectable transformer taps. The enclosure and components are engineered for outdoor exposure with an IP55 rating.

The system supports applications that require flexible surface mounting with controlled coverage. It is suited for hospitality, retail, worship, and performance environments. The design allows integration with compatible Bose Professional electronics and mounting hardware.
