Bose Professional DesignMax DM10S-SUB Surface-Mount Subwoofer (Each)
Bose Professional DesignMax DM10S-SUB is a surface-mount subwoofer designed for indoor commercial audio installations. It enables low-frequency reinforcement for system designers and integrators, supporting DesignMax full-range loudspeaker systems. This makes it ideal for venues where controlled bass performance and compact surface mounting are required.
The subwoofer operates using a single 10-inch low-frequency driver housed in a rigid enclosure. It supports low-impedance operation as well as 70V and 100V distributed systems through selectable transformer taps. Installation is performed using the QuickHold mounting system with an included U-bracket.
The system supports applications that require extended low-frequency output in distributed audio environments. It is suited for hospitality, retail, worship, and performance spaces. The design allows integration with compatible Bose Professional electronics and signal processing.
