Description

The ShowMatch SM20 is an active, 2-way full-range line array module engineered with a wide 20° nominal vertical coverage pattern. Utilizing Bose Professional’s proprietary DeltaQ technology, it allows the vertical directivity to vary across different cabinets in an array cluster. This 20° vertical module is specifically optimized to deliver high-SPL sound to short-throw audience zones, such as front-row seating sections, while minimizing spill onto areas that do not require sound reinforcement.

🌟 Key Features

  • DeltaQ Technology: Dynamically alters directivity block-by-block within a flown array, maximizing acoustic efficiency and reducing total box count.
  • Field-Changeable Waveguides: Comes with 100° horizontal waveguides pre-installed and includes 120° panels in the box to quickly achieve extra-wide room coverage.
  • Premium Transducers: Loaded with 4 custom Bose EMB2S neodymium high-frequency compression drivers and 2 high-power 8-inch neodymium woofers.
  • Integrated 3-Point Rigging: Employs a quick-pin hardware mechanism supporting up to 24 modules per hang with a strict 10:1 safety factor.
  • Removable Side Guards: Serves as structural handles during transit, which can be easily unbolted for permanent installations to narrow down visual sightlines.

📌 Applications

The aggressive vertical tilt profile makes this model highly specialized for specific array placement zones:
  • Downfill Cluster Sections: Positioned at the very bottom of a flown ShowMatch array stack underneath SM5 or SM10 modules to cleanly sweep front row floor seats.
  • Short-Throw Main Arrays: Used as the primary loudspeaker boxes for small, wide, or shallow rooms with low ceiling clearances.
  • Front-of-Stage Infill / Sidefill: Placed near stage boundaries or proscenium wings to handle close-up audience seating area coverage gaps.
