Bose Professional ShowMatch SM5 DeltaQ Full-Range Array Loudspeaker

The Bose Professional ShowMatch SM5 DeltaQ full-range array module is engineered to deliver superior sound quality and consistent coverage for demanding audio applications. Featuring 5-degree nominal vertical coverage, these modules provide immense flexibility through field-changeable waveguides, allowing for 70-degree or 100-degree horizontal dispersion. For specialized configurations, an optional 55-degree waveguide is available. Users can easily replace a single waveguide panel to create asymmetrical horizontal patterns, ensuring your audio setup is tailored exactly to the venue acoustics.

This 2-way passive system requires professional external power amplification (2-channel) and digital signal processing (DSP) to achieve its full potential. It delivers an expansive frequency response ranging from 59 Hz to 18,000 Hz, with a peak array output reaching an impressive 145 dB SPL. It is the perfect choice for professional integrators working in houses of worship, touring stage productions, performing arts centers, and concert venues.

Advanced DeltaQ Technology

DeltaQ technology represents a quantum leap in line array design. By allowing the directivity (Q) to vary with each module within the array, Bose provides more uniform sound coverage across a wide frequency range. This innovation leads to reduced array weight, lower overall installation costs, and industry-leading vocal clarity that ensures every audience member hears the performance with precision.
