The Bose Professional EM180-LP is the low-profile version of the EdgeMax EM180 premium in-ceiling loudspeaker. With a reduced 10 cm mounting depth, it is designed for installations with limited plenum space while still delivering exceptionally wide 180° horizontal coverage using Bose PhaseGuide technology. The EM180-LP features an 8-inch woofer and a high-frequency compression driver, providing high-output full-range performance in a discreet ceiling-flush design. It is ideal for conference rooms, hospitality spaces, retail, and other architectural environments that demand both wide coverage and shallow-backcan installation.
