Description

The Bose Professional ArenaMatch Utility AMU208 is a compact, high-SPL passive point-source loudspeaker designed to complement large-scale ArenaMatch stadium line arrays or function as an independent system. By utilizing two full-sized woofers alongside a premium high-frequency compression driver, it provides exceptional vocal clarity, punchy musical depth, and an expansive frequency response—all from a relatively small-format enclosure.

Features

  • Dual-Woofer Powerhouse: Employs two Bose LF8 8-inch high-excursion woofers that push the low-frequency limit down to 70 Hz, offering superior low-end extension without requiring an immediate subwoofer addition.
  • Array-Matched Voicing: Features the precise Bose EMB2S titanium-diaphragm compression driver. This guarantees a perfectly unified tonal balance when blended with larger ArenaMatch stadium arrays. 
  • Rotatable Constant-Directivity Horn: Outfitted with a 90° × 60° high-frequency horn. The horn waveguide can be manually rotated inside the cabinet, allowing installers to maximize coverage pattern control across horizontal or vertical mount orientations.
  • Outdoor Ingress Protection (IP55): Engineered to handle direct weather exposure via an exterior-grade plywood shell with a two-part spray polyurea coating, a three-layer stainless steel grille, water-resistant transducer cones, and a sealed input cover.
  • 70V / 100V Audio Networks: Built with an integrated, weather-sealed transformer with an 8-ohm bypass switch, providing simple integration into high-voltage distributed lines or traditional low-impedance systems.

Applications

  • Large Sports Venues: Stadium concourses, upper-deck delay fields, bleacher fills, and outdoor ticketing queues.
  • Open-Air Commercial Centers: High-level foreground audio for large resort pool plazas, amusement park midways, fairgrounds, and outdoor shopping arcades.
  • Hospitality and Nightlife: Sound reinforcement for expansive beer gardens, beachfront clubs, patio bars, and craft breweries.
  • High-SPL Indoor Spaces: Mid-sized school gymnasiums, community halls, indoor sports centers, and house of worship youth rooms requiring high-output, durable playback.
