MSA12X powered beam-steering array loudspeaker
The Bose Professional MSA12X powered beam-steering array loudspeaker is specially engineered to excel in vocal intelligibility and musicality, even in acoustically challenging spaces. Twelve processed and amplified transducers create a precise vertical sound beam that covers the entire audience while reducing disruptive echoes that compromise clarity. The result: a consistent front-to-back sound without mechanical aiming or angling brackets. The MSA12X goes beyond conventional loudspeakers with its dual-beam functionality, enabling the vertical sound beam to be split into two, providing simultaneous coverage for separate areas such as the main floor and a balcony. The articulated transducer configuration provides 160° horizontal coverage, delivering consistent tonality across the entire audience space, ensuring each listener enjoys the same sound experience. The install-friendly modular design of the MSA12X allows easy stacking of up to three linked modules. Lengthening the array results in extended coverage, lower-frequency control, and improved dual-beam functionality—without custom ordering or oversized shipping boxes. The array’s beam-steering capability also allows you to mount it at varying heights—not just ear-level like conventional column arrays. Plus, the Dante
network interface and ControlSpace ecosystem integration ensure seamless connectivity and system control. Online instructions make the design and installation straightforward, ensuring a successful deployment. And with its price-to-performance value, the MSA12X is the clear choice for a wide range of installations. View the instruction web page by clicking
