Bose Panaray MA12 enceinte line array modulaire blanche (40188)

In a reverberant house of worship or a busy transit hub, the Bose Panaray MA12 delivers clear, even voice reinforcement from a slim column that blends into the architecture. Its twelve 2.25-inch full-range drivers are arranged in a vertical line array, producing a wide 145° horizontal coverage pattern that reduces side-wall reflections and focuses sound on the audience. The passive design requires an external amplifier, and dual NL4 connectors plus a screw terminal strip allow simple daisy-chaining of multiple modules for taller arrays or larger spaces.

Why choose it

The MA12's modular line array design provides consistent tonal balance across the listening area, with less variation between front and rear seats than conventional point-source speakers. Its slim, paintable aluminum enclosure and white finish make it unobtrusive in architectural settings, while the high power handling supports demanding speech and music programs.

Ideal use cases

• Houses of worship, auditoriums, and lecture halls
• Transportation terminals and public address
• Conference rooms and boardrooms
• Portable sound reinforcement when used with optional stands

Good to know

The MA12 is a passive loudspeaker; pair it with a professional amplifier delivering 300–600 W per channel into 8 ohms. For extended low-frequency response, combine with a Bose subwoofer. The speaker is rated for indoor use; outdoor installations require protection from direct weather. Multiple modules can be stacked vertically using the integrated threaded inserts and optional brackets to increase vertical coverage and output capability.
