Bose Professional AM20 ArenaMatch 14" Outdoor Array Loudspeaker with 20° Vertical Coverage - Each

Looking to take your outdoor sound system up a notch? The Bose AM20 delivers powerful, crystal-clear audio exactly where you need it—whether it's a pro sports stadium, an outdoor bar, or a worship space. Built for direct-exposure conditions and backed by Bose’s DeltaQ technology, this 14" loudspeaker is a game-changer for open-air venues.

Precision Coverage That Cuts Through the Noise

The Bose AM20 features a narrow 20° vertical coverage that focuses sound with laser-like precision. You won’t get any of that wasted spill where it doesn’t belong. Instead, it delivers clear, consistent sound straight to your audience—even in the noisiest outdoor environments.

What makes it even better is that the AM20 offers three horizontal coverage options, letting you tailor the sound perfectly to your space:

• AM20/60 – 60° horizontal waveguide
• AM20/80 – 80° horizontal waveguide
• AM20/100 – 100° horizontal waveguide

Each version still delivers that same precise 20° vertical focus, letting you build arrays that are lighter, cleaner, and more efficient.

DeltaQ Technology Makes All the Difference

What makes the AM20 stand out is Bose’s DeltaQ array technology, which adjusts the speaker’s directivity—or “Q”—to perfectly fit your audience’s layout. This leads to clearer vocals, more consistent sound, and a sharper listening experience.

Instead of just blasting sound everywhere, you’re precisely targeting it. The benefits? You need fewer modules, your setup is lighter, and coverage is smoother throughout the venue.

Built for the Elements

This speaker is built to handle whatever nature throws its way. The Bose AM20 is rated IP55 and built to withstand heat, cold, rain, and everything in between. It sports a three-layer stainless steel grille, water-resistant cone coating, and an industrial-grade polyurethane exterior. Whether it's a sunny patio or a stadium exposed to the elements, this loudspeaker is built to last.

And it’s not just rugged—it’s safety rated, too. The AM20 meets EN 54-24 certification for voice alarm systems, making it suitable for venues that require emergency broadcast capability in public spaces.

Power That Performs

A 14" neodymium woofer packs powerful bass, while six EMB2S compression drivers deliver clear, detailed highs. You get a frequency range from 55 Hz to 18,000 Hz and up to 128 dB max SPL, depending on the version.

It supports both bi-amp and passive configurations, with long-term continuous power handling at 750 W (passive) and peak handling up to 3000 W. For high-impedance systems, the Bose AM20 includes transformer taps compatible with both 70V and 100V configurations.

Flexible, Scalable, and Easy to Customize

The AM20 works seamlessly with 10°, 20°, and 40° vertical modules, allowing you to mix and match while keeping a consistent tonal balance throughout the array.

Its interchangeable waveguides let you shape asymmetrical coverage, making it great for challenging layouts or left/right configurations. For a fully optimized setup, it works effortlessly with ArenaMatch Utility speakers, PowerMatch amps, and ControlSpace DSP, complete with presets in ControlSpace Designer software.

Simple Mounting with Pro Accessories

Mounting is a breeze, thanks to integrated M12 threaded inserts and optional accessories like U-brackets, array suspension kits, and waveguide kits. The enclosure is made from tough exterior-grade birch plywood and ships with an input panel cover, screws, and installation guide.

If you’re after high-output performance, weather-ready durability, and full-system flexibility for outdoor sound, the Bose AM20 checks every box.
