Bose Rises to the Challenge

Bose Professional introduced the MA3 Micro Array, a compact, passive, modular micro line array designed to help integrators deliver clear speech and music in acoustically challenging spaces while complementing the architecture. MA3 modules combine into suspended or wall-mounted arrays, with adjustable splay angles to shape vertical coverage around the listening area.

“Modular array technology has been out of reach for a lot of everyday acoustically challenging projects because of cost, size and complex, time-consuming installs. MA3 Micro Array changes that,” said Bose Professional Vice President of Sales, Americas, Shawn Watts. “It’s compact, it’s affordable and it’s a one-person install, so integrators can give a room the precise vertical coverage of an array without the footprint, the price tag or the hassle.”

Each MA3 module combines a 1-inch compression driver with four 2.25-inch woofers in a compact white enclosure. Integrated inter-module hardware joins enclosures into a clean, cohesive array, with an onboard passive crossover and pluggable terminal connection to simplify system wiring.

The MA3SB Suspension Bracket supports flown arrays, and the MA3WB Wallmount Kit supports wall-mounted configurations where wall placement better suits the architecture or ceiling height. Integrators can combine modules into suspended or wall-mounted arrays and adjust splay angles to shape vertical coverage around the listening area.

MA3 modules are offered in single-pack and four-pack configurations, so integrators can order the quantity the design requires. The modular format lets them build the array around the room without making the loudspeaker system the visual focus.
