Bose DesignMax DM10S-SUB – Surface-Mount Commercial Subwoofer

Product Overview

The Bose DesignMax DM10S-SUB is a surface-mount subwoofer designed for commercial distributed audio systems where low-frequency reinforcement is required without sacrificing installation flexibility or aesthetics. It is part of the DesignMax loudspeaker family, engineered to complement DesignMax satellite speakers in boardrooms, conference rooms, house of worship installations, and multi-purpose commercial spaces. The DM10S-SUB extends the bass response of the overall system and is matched spectrally and dynamically to the other speakers in the DesignMax range. Available from Creation Networks, this subwoofer is appropriate for integrators building full-range commercial sound systems.

Product Description

The DM10S-SUB houses a 10-inch woofer in a sealed enclosure designed for wall or surface mounting. The compact form factor allows placement at floor level, on walls, or on furniture where space is limited. Its sealed enclosure design prioritizes tight, controlled bass reproduction appropriate for speech-reinforced AV environments such as conference rooms and training facilities, as well as music playback in commercial retail and hospitality settings.

Like all DesignMax products, the DM10S-SUB is engineered to work within the Bose Professional ecosystem, including integration with ControlSpace DSP processors for crossover, EQ, and system alignment. The speaker accepts 70V/100V distributed audio connections as well as direct low-impedance connections, providing flexibility for integration into both large distributed systems and smaller zone amplifier setups. Its neutral finish and straightforward mounting profile allow it to be placed unobtrusively in architecturally finished spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the DM10S-SUB designed to pair with specific DesignMax satellite speakers?

Yes. The DM10S-SUB is engineered to complement the DesignMax DM5P, DM8C, and other speakers in the DesignMax range. Bose provides crossover and alignment presets for ControlSpace DSPs to optimize system performance when pairing sub with satellites.

Can the DM10S-SUB be used in a 70V distributed audio system?

Yes. The included transformer supports 70V and 100V distributed system connections with multiple wattage taps.

What is the recommended crossover frequency?

Crossover frequency depends on the paired satellite speakers. When using ControlSpace DSP, the recommended presets for DesignMax system combinations provide optimized crossover points.

Does the DM10S-SUB require a DSP for operation?

A DSP is not strictly required, but Bose recommends using a ControlSpace DSP processor for crossover filtering and system alignment. Without a DSP, a passive crossover network or amplifier with built-in DSP is needed.

What warranty is included?

The Bose DesignMax DM10S-SUB is covered by Bose Professional's limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty and support details.
