RoomMatch® Utility small-format point-source loudspeakers – RoomMatch sound quality now in foreground/fill sizes

Bose® RoomMatch Utility loudspeakers bring the award-winning sound quality of RoomMatch arrays to smaller, 2-way, point-source designs, by using the same Bose EMB2 compression

driver for consistent mid/high sonic character. RoomMatch Utility loudspeakers are intended for high-quality foreground music, under-balcony, zone-fill, and vocal-range floor monitor

applications. All models feature high-quality plywood construction suitable for the highest aesthetic requirements and install easily with either horizontal or vertical mounting.

All RoomMatch Utility loudspeakers use Bose EMB2 compression drivers

Series overview by model

RMU208 RMU206 RMU108 RMU105

The RMU208 is the highest output

model of the RoomMatch Utility series

and is intended for use in high-quality

foreground music, under-balcony and

zone fill applications. Additionally, the

multi-angle enclosure allows use in

vocal-range floor monitor applications.

•2x8-inchwoofers

•70Hzlow-frequencyrange

•90°x60°coveragepattern

•127dBmaximumpeakSPL

TheRMU206isoptimizedfor

under-balcony fill applications with a

unique angled baffle enclosure design

to minimize the projected height for

typical under-balcony and low-ceiling,

zone-fill applications.

•2x6.5-inchwoofers




The RMU108 is the most versatile

RoomMatch Utility model with a blend

ofcompactsize,excellentsoundquality

andflexiblemountingoptions.The

RMU108 is similar to the RMU208

but with a single woofer, sharing the

multi-angle enclosure profile and high-

frequency waveguide.
