Bose Professional MSA12X Powered Beam - Steering Array Loudspeaker -Each

MSA12X powered beam-steering array loudspeaker
Product Overview The Bose Professional MSA12X powered beam-steering array loudspeaker is specially engineered to excel in vocal intelligibility and musicality, even in acoustically challenging spaces. Twelve processed and amplified transducers create a precise vertical sound beam that covers the entire audience while reducing disruptive echoes that compromise clarity. The result: a consistent front-to-back sound without mechanical aiming or angling brackets.

MSA12X goes beyond conventional loudspeakers with its dual-beam functionality, enabling the vertical sound beam to be split into two, providing simultaneous coverage for separate areas such as the main floor and a balcony. The articulated transducer configuration provides 160° horizontal coverage, delivering consistent tonality across the entire audience space, ensuring each listener enjoys the same sound experience.

The install-friendly modular design of the MSA12X allows easy stacking of up to three linked modules. Lengthening the array results in extended coverage, lowerfrequency control, and improved dual-beam functionality—without custom ordering or oversized shipping boxes. The array’s beam-steering capability also allows you to mount it at varying heights—not just ear-level like conventional column arrays. Plus, the Dante® network interface and ControlSpace ecosystem integration ensure seamless connectivity and system control.

Online instructions make the design and installation straightforward, ensuring a successful deployment. And with its price-to-performance value, the MSA12X is the clear choice for a wide range of installations.

For extended bass response, the Bose Professional MB210-WR subwoofer and a PowerShareX smart amplifier perfectly complement the MSA12X as a complete audio solution for speech, music, and live sound applications.

Key Features

• 12 × 2.25-inch independently controlled and amplified transducers create a vertical sound beam that is electronically steered for precision aiming to cover the entire audience while reducing disruptive echoes that compromise clarity—without mechanical aiming or angling brackets.
• Integrated DSP and 600 watts (12 × 50 W) of amplification make the MSA12X an all-in-one loudspeaker solution without the requirement of a standalone amplifier or loudspeaker processor.
• The Dante® digital audio network interface needs just one network cable connection for audio source and system control. Send digital audio to the MSA12X and use the same connection for ControlSpace network integration, enabling control, monitoring, and beam preset recall from ControlSpace-compatible processors, end-user controls, and third-party control systems. A line-level input also enables local analog source connection.
• Flexible, modular design allows the simple creation of larger vertical arrays by stacking up to three modules without custom parts, ordering, or oversized shipping boxes. The larger array extends coverage, enhances lower-frequency control, and improves dual-beam functionality. Select a white or black finish, and paint them if needed.
• The articulated transducer configuration provides 160° horizontal coverage, delivering consistent tonality across the entire audience, ensuring each listener enjoys the same sound experience.
• All brackets and interconnect cabling included—no extra parts to order.
• An installer-friendly instructional webpage provides a seamless step-by-step workflow for designing, configuring, and installing the MSA12X and associated software applications. Our best-in-class instructions eliminate guesswork and ensure a swift, efficient design and installation.
• Bose Professional Array Tool is the first step in designing the MSA12X into the room. This simulation and analysis software tool precisely defines room parameters, strategically positions the MSA12X in the virtual space, and accurately predicts its performance across a range of diverse environments. The tool synchronizes its predictions with ControlSpace Designer software to streamline the entire design process.
• Bose Professional ControlSpace Designer software integrates the calculations of the Bose Professional Array Tool into the MSA12X. Use this software to configure and design our ControlSpace-enabled processors, smart amplifiers, and loudspeakers with just one user interface. Use ControlSpace Designer software with MSA12X to program settings, recall beam presets, and monitor it in real time.
• Beam presets in a ControlSpace network can be switched to instantly adapt sound coverage for half-rooms, full rooms, partitioned meeting rooms, or balconies. Designers can simply assign beam presets to user interfaces—such as wall controls or the ControlSpace Remote app—or assign presets to scheduled timer events and third-party control systems.
