Bose DesignMax DM5SE Passive Surface Mount 2-Way Coaxial Loudspeakers

Rich Lows and Clear Intelligible Highs - The Bose DesignMax DM5SE Passive Surface Mount 2-Way Coaxial Loudspeakers - White

With coaxial two-way drivers, the 60-watt Bose Professional DesignMax DM5SE loudspeaker offers rich lows and clear, intelligible highs — along with premium aesthetics that complement any commercial sound installation. The DM5SE features a two-way 5.25-inch woofer and 1-inch coaxial tweeter mounted within the Dispersion Alignment system, delivering a frequency range of 65 Hz – 20 kHz. The DM5SE is surface-mounted, IP55 outdoor-rated, and locks onto a hidden QuickHold U-bracket for fast, secure installation.

• Combine DesignMax models to complete any design, big or small — 12 loudspeakers to mix and match, from 2-inch low-profile models to 8-inch high-SPL compression-driver loudspeakers and outdoor-rated options
• Deliver rich lows and clear, intelligible highs with coaxial two-way drivers — no DSP or EQ required; for even better sound, use select Bose Professional DSPs and amplifiers for EQ and SmartBass processing
• Ensure a consistent listening experience with the Dispersion Alignment system, which matches the coverage of the woofer to the pattern of the tweeter
• Blend with any room design with elegant form factor, minimum-bezel grilles in black or white, and removable logos
• Reduce installation time with the patented QuickHold mounting system, reducing strain, hassle, and the chance of product damage
• Install easily with industry-standard accessories; all models include Euroblock connectors and outdoor-rated options
• Install DM5SE outdoors — IP55 rating with standard aluminum grille for weather resistance
