Bose Professional has announced the Panaray MSA12X Modular Steerable Array Loudspeaker, targeting applications in houses of worship, auditoria, museums, lecture halls, conference facilities and theatres.
The active Panaray MSA12X uses 12 full-range 2.25-inch transducers (with 75Hz–14kHz response) in a columnar line array configuration, to provide consistent audio levels with outstanding vocal intelligibility and full-range music reinforcement in acoustically challenging spaces. It’s exterior presents a slim, unobtrusive acoustic design.
The enclosure houses 12 internal power amplifiers (50W/channel; total 600W rated power) and onboard DSP to allow digital control and beam steering of array vertical coverage patterns. Proprietary Articulated Array configuration allows 160° horizontal coverage. Independent level and EQ control is supported for two separate beams per array, and onboard memory stores up to ten user-selectable presets. The MSA12X features both Dante network connectivity and line-level analogue input.
The modular design allows up to three MSA12X units to be vertically arrayed to increase coverage distance and low-frequency pattern control. The low-profile enclosure mounts close to surfaces, blending in with the visual aesthetic of a space, and its digital control eliminates protruding pitch brackets. An integrated mounting bracket allows up to 90° of pivot away from surfaces. Design, set-up, and control of beam coverage is provided by Bose Professional Modeler and ControlSpace software. The MSA12X is available in black and white finishes, and is paintable.
