Bose Introduces RoomMatch Utility RMU208 Small-Format Loudspeaker

	The Bose RoomMatch Utility RMU208 small-format sound-reinforcement loudspeaker.

Bose Professional Systems Division has expanded its RoomMatch range of array module loudspeakers with the RoomMatch Utility RMU208 small-format sound-reinforcement loudspeaker. The RMU208 is designed for use in high-quality foreground music, under-balcony, zone fill, and vocal-range floor monitor applications in performing arts centers, civic auditoriums, houses of worship, secondary education and college auditoriums, dance clubs, hospitality, and more.

The loudspeaker features a single Bose EMB2 compression driver (with 2.0" voice coil) to provide mid/high-frequency voicing similar to the RoomMatch full-range array modules. The EMB2 driver features a patented phase plug that lowers distortion and allows the use of a lower crossover frequency to improve vocal sound quality.

Dual Bose LF8 8" woofers (with 2.0", extended-excursion voice coils) provide full-range output down to 80Hz (+/-3dB), and a 90- x 60-degree constant-directivity high-frequency horn provides wide, even coverage and may be rotated 90-degree in the enclosure.

The RMU208's quasi-three-way passive crossover with separate filters for each transducer provides uniform frequency and polar response; the 80-16,000Hz frequency response and 125dB maximum peak SPL allow for use in high-performance system designs. Long-term continuous power handling is 300W and peak power handling is 1,200W.

The enclosure is constructed of baltic birch plywood with a two-part polyurethane coating to resist scratches and scuffs. The multi-angle cabinet design allows for flexible use in varied applications, and the system includes a U-bracket and four additional M8 threaded inserts on the enclosure's rear surface provide additional mounting flexibility.

The new RoomMatch Utility RMU208 small-format loudspeakers can be powered by Bose PowerMatch amplifiers, or any professional amplifier with the appropriate power rating. The RMU208 loudspeaker will be available through authorized Bose dealers beginning in October 2013.
