Bose Professional DesignMax DM6PE – 125W 6.5" Pendant Loudspea...
Product Overview
The Bose Professional DesignMax DM6PE is a 125-watt coaxial pendant loudspeaker designed for commercial sound installations where both audio performance and architectural aesthetics are priorities. The DM6PE delivers a frequency range of 62–20,000 Hz through a 6.5-inch woofer and 1.25-inch neodymium dome tweeter arranged in a Dispersion Alignment coaxial configuration, ensuring consistent coverage at 115° conical dispersion from 1 to 10 kHz. With IP55 outdoor ingress protection and a powder-coated steel grille, the DM6PE is equally suited to indoor commercial venues and covered exterior applications. This listing covers one pair of black-finish DM6PE loudspeakers (SKU 841168-0110), compatible with standard 70V and 100V distributed audio systems as well as direct 8-ohm operation.
Product Description
The DesignMax DM6PE occupies a well-defined position in Bose Professional's 16-model DesignMax commercial loudspeaker line: it is the outdoor-rated pendant option for installations requiring a 6.5-inch coaxial driver, pendant suspension mounting, and weatherproof construction. The coaxial two-way design places the 1.25-inch neodymium dome tweeter within the Dispersion Alignment system at the center of the 165mm woofer cone, matching the acoustic pattern of the woofer to that of the tweeter across the operating bandwidth. This produces consistent timbre and intelligibility at any listening position within the coverage zone without requiring DSP or equalizer compensation at the amplifier.
The DM6PE uses a recessed single-point suspension system that keeps the mounting hardware concealed above the ceiling plane or mounting structure. Each loudspeaker includes a 4.5-meter (15-foot) adjustable suspension cable, allowing precise drop height adjustment during installation. The Euroblock 6-pin connector with loop-through, positioned at the top of the enclosure, accommodates 14 to 18 AWG wire and includes a weather-resistant input cover. The enclosure is constructed from highly UV fade-resistant engineered plastics, and the powder-coated perforated steel grille is paintable for custom color matching.
When connected to a compatible Bose Professional DSP or amplifier (such as the PowerShare, PowerSpace+, or ControlSpace EX-series), optional Bose Professional loudspeaker EQ voicing and SmartBass processing can be enabled. SmartBass dynamically adjusts low-frequency output at any listening level, extending perceived bass performance. Without these processors, the DM6PE performs well with any standard commercial amplifier—the passive 2-way crossover at 1.7 kHz handles signal splitting internally with no external DSP required.
This pair listing includes two DM6PE loudspeakers, two adjustable suspension cable systems, eight cable ties, and two weather-resistant input covers.
Key Features
