Product details

Overview

What is the Bose DesignMax DM8C?

The Bose DesignMax DM8C is a passive in-ceiling loudspeaker for commercial music and speech systems. Its published frequency range is 52 Hz – 20,000 Hz, with 135° conical coverage. The ceiling-mounted format keeps the speaker integrated with the room finish. Corporate AV can specify the speakers, amplification and installation scope for your UAE project.

A passive loudspeaker needs an external amplifier; it does not connect directly to a phone, laptop or mains supply for audio playback. Choose the amplifier mode, loudspeaker layout and source equipment as one system.

Expert FAQs

Does the Bose DesignMax DM8C need an amplifier?

The Bose PowerSpace P4300+ is a compatible amplifier option for a correctly configured 70/100 V speaker circuit or supported low-impedance arrangement. Match the selected output mode, channel load, gain and protection to the DM8C; configure the manufacturer's high-pass filter and any required limiters. The amplifier is sold separately.

Can the DM8C be used on a 70/100 V speaker line?

Yes, using the correct transformer tap and amplifier output mode. The 100 V taps are 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 W, bypass. Do not use the transformer-bypass setting on a 70/100 V line.

Is the DM8C suitable for outdoor installation?

Bose specifies indoor use. An indoor speaker should not be substituted for an outdoor-rated model on an exposed terrace or landscape installation.

How should the DM8C be mounted?

Check the 13.8 in (349 mm) ceiling opening, available backcan depth, tile-bridge support and independent fixing requirements against the installation drawing.

What is included with this DM8C listing?

This is a single-loudspeaker model. The listed supplied items are One DesignMax DM8C loudspeaker; (1) tile bridge; (1) cutout template. Confirm the supplied regional pack and finish.

How many DM8C speakers can one amplifier support?

For a constant-voltage system, total the selected tap wattages on each channel and retain design headroom. For low-impedance wiring, calculate the combined load and power limits. The answer depends on the exact amplifier mode, speaker quantity and intended sound level.

Can Corporate AV design a complete DM8C system?

Provide the room plan, target listening areas and source equipment. Share the quantity, installation environment and UAE site so the amplifier, cabling, mounting and commissioning can be itemised together.

How can I request a Bose DesignMax DM8C quotation in the UAE?
