DesignMax DM3C loudspeakers (1 pair)

IMPORTANT: To more easily stock and supply our DesignMax loudspeakers, our in-ceiling models will be sold only in white with the option to purchase black grilles as accessories if needed. This affects the following models: DM2C-LP, DM3C, DM5C, DM6C, DM8C, and DM8C-SUB.

With coaxial two-way drivers, the 30-watt Bose Professional DesignMax DM3C loudspeaker offers clear, intelligible highs and surprising low end for their size — along with premium aesthetics that complement any commercial sound installation. The DM3C features a two-way 3.5-inch woofer and 0.75-inch coaxial tweeter mounted within the Dispersion Alignment system, delivering a frequency range of 75 Hz – 20 kHz. The DM3C is ceiling-mounted, installed easily via QuickHold mounting arms.
