Product Overview

applications, including retail, restaurant and
hospitality establishments.
These 100-watt loudspeakers can be installed up
to 30ft (10m) high, both indoors and outdoors.

wide variety of décors. Horizontal or vertical
mounting options offer installation flexibility.

Product Information
The FreeSpace DS 100SE surface-mount loudspeakers
are engineered for installation on walls and
other solid surfaces. Simple 1➞2➞3 installation: (1)
Wire and attach the wall bracket (2) Secure the
loudspeaker to the wall bracket with one screw
(3) Snap the wire connector into the wall bracket.
The included bracket allows for horizontal or
vertical mounting positions, each with either
pitch or yaw adjustment.
The DS 100SE loudspeakers can be used as
8-ohm, 100-watt loudspeakers or as 70/100V
loudspeakers. An easy-to-access thumb wheel
allows taps to be set quickly and simply without
the use of tools.
Two Twiddler drivers in a proprietary Articulated
®
Array ® loudspeaker design provide a 180° H x 75° V
dispersion pattern out of the box when loud-
speakers are mounted horizontally. The array can
be rotated easily to maintain this wide horizontal
dispersion pattern when the loudspeakers are
installed in the vertical orientation.
Performance of the FreeSpace DS 100SE loud-
speakers can be maximized through the use of
the recommended Bose loudspeaker equalization
resident in select Bose electronics or by using
other equipment with parametric equalization.
The loudspeakers can be used out of the box
with a 55-Hz high-pass filter when recommended
loudspeaker equalization is not used. The DS 100SE
loudspeakers are acoustically compatible with
DS 100F flush-mount loudspeakers and can be
integrated on the same loudspeaker line.
