Bose Professional has announced the launch of the DesignMax Luna DML88P, a new full-range pendant loudspeaker that combines an eight-driver Ring Array™ design with an integrated 8-inch woofer.
The system is designed to deliver high fidelity and uniform coverage in open-ceiling environments, maintaining a refined aesthetic and a design focused on professional installation.
The DesignMax Luna is aimed at spaces where sound and visual integration are equally important: retail stores, restaurants, gyms, offices, or venues with exposed ceilings where in-ceiling solutions are not feasible.
With a balanced profile and concealed wiring, the system can be suspended from one or two points, making installation easier and ensuring a clean finish from any angle.
At the heart of Luna lies Bose’s patented Ring Array configuration, which positions eight precisely aligned 2-inch mid-high transducers around a central 8-inch woofer. This structure provides wide and even coverage without hot or dead spots and maintains a balanced response down to 40 Hz, eliminating the need for external subwoofers even in large or high-ceiling spaces.
The loudspeaker reaches a maximum SPL of 111 dB and offers 140° coverage, allowing it to cover large areas with fewer units, reducing both installation costs and visual impact. The result is consistent, natural sound throughout the space, with clear reproduction of voices and background music.
DesignMax Luna represents an important step forward in the evolution of pendant loudspeakers. It combines sonic precision, aesthetics, and ease of installation in a single format — something especially valued by system integrators and designers, said John Maier, CEO of Bose Professional.
For his part, Shawn Watts, Vice President of Product, concludes: “Luna is not an extension of the current range but a complete solution. It replaces the traditional pendant speaker plus subwoofer setup, delivering deep bass and balanced response in a single enclosure. It’s easy to specify, simple to hang, and visually integrates into any environment”.
