Bose FreeSpace DS 100SE Technical Data Sheet

Design Recommendations
When creating a design that uses the FreeSpace
®
DS 100SE loudspeakers, you should consider
the following:
• Recommended mounting height is between
8 and 26ft (2.4 and 8m).
• Provide at least 20ft (6.1m) of space between
adjacent loudspeakers for typical applications.
• In outdoor applications, do not space the
loudspeakers by more than 50ft (15.2m).
• Generally, the FreeSpace DS 100SE loudspeakers
should be pitched downward between 5 and
15 degrees.
• Maximum SPL for a typical application is
between 91 and 98 dB-SPL.
• Always add 25% headroom to your amplifier to
accommodate various types of program material.
Use the following recommended loudspeaker
spacing guidelines for typical mounting heights
between 12 and 22ft (3.6 and 6.7m), as coverage
requirements and loudspeaker spacing will vary.
Total system SPL varies based on the mounting
height, tap setting and room acoustics. For typical
applications, use the chart below to determine
the total SPL.
*12.5-watt tap available only in 70V mode.

DS 100SE loudspeakers Design Guide.
