Bose Professional ShowMatch SM10 DeltaQ 2×8″ 2-Way Active Loudspeaker

Description

Ideal for theatres, performance venues, auditoriums, and houses of worship, the Bose Professional ShowMatch DeltaQ SM10 is an active 2-way array loudspeaker that provides a 10° nominal vertical coverage and either 70 or 100° horizontal coverage depending on the waveguide used. With the modular waveguide design, you can create staggered, asymmetrical patterns for greater coverage.

With four EMB2S compression drivers and two 8″ neodymium woofers, the SM10 module offers potent sound reproduction for arrays. With a proper 2-channel power amplifier, the SM10 provides a full-range frequency range of 59 Hz to 18 kHz. The array output peaks at 127 dB (low frequency), 132 dB (high frequency) peak with continuous power handling of 450 W (low frequency), 100 W (high frequency). With the convenient 3-point quick pin rigging system and a compact, portable enclosure design, setup is easy, supporting up to 24 modules without difficulty. The SM10 also sports removable side rigging guards and handles, ensuring it can support portable or fixed installations with equal efficacy. The SM10 includes two 70° waveguide panels for optional replacement of the 100° panels installed by default.

Key Features

• DeltaQ Technology: Enables the “Q” (directivity) to change dynamically between stacked modules, minimizing total box count while preserving vocal intelligibility.
• Field-Changeable Waveguides: Ships with 100° horizontal waveguides pre-installed and includes 70° panels in the box. Technicians can switch a single panel to configure custom left/right asymmetrical patterns. 
• Tour-Grade Driver Configuration: Outfitted with 4 custom EMB2S neodymium high-frequency compression drivers and 2 high-output 8-inch neodymium woofers. 
• 3-Point “Quick Pin” Rigging: Allows rapid, toolless physical deployment of up to 24 modules per hang with a strict 10:1 safety factor.
• Removable Transport Trim: Equipped with side guards that pull double duty as structural rigging protection and ergonomic handles. They slide off quickly in fixed installs to narrow the system’s aesthetic line.

📌 Applications

The physical throw character and 10° cabinet splay layout suit a broad mix of staging setups:

• Mid-to-Downfill Cluster Sections: Frequently arrayed underneath ShowMatch SM5 (5°) long-throw modules to cover mid-depth audience areas and front floor seating.
• Houses of Worship & Shorter Auditoriums: Ideal for multi-tier sanctuaries, sloped amphitheaters, or deep rooms with lower roof structures.
• Performing Arts Centers & Theaters: Yields rich musical reproduction and sharp dialogue tracking for theatrical scripts and live orchestral arrangements.
• Corporate AV & Live Rental Production: Simplifies handling for touring audio crews due to its light footprint, high output, and fast scaling.
