Bose Professional AMU108 ArenaMatch Utility 8" Compact Outdoor Loudspeaker - Each

The Bose AMU108 loudspeaker delivers professional-grade performance in a small, rugged enclosure built for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether you’re covering a busy patio, energetic restaurant, or immersive themed attraction, this compact loudspeaker delivers full, articulate sound for speech and music without drawing attention to itself.

Two Vertical Coverage Options

To meet a variety of coverage needs, the Bose AMU108 is available in two versions: the standard AMU108 with a 90° vertical × 60° horizontal dispersion, and the AMU108-120 with an expanded 120° vertical × 60° horizontal pattern. Both models use a constant-directivity HF horn to maintain balanced, even sound across the entire coverage area. Choose black or white finishes to match your environment with minimal visual impact.

Built for Demanding Environments

Designed for harsh conditions, the Bose AMU108 is IP55-rated and EN 54-24 certified, making it a reliable choice for exposed outdoor and high-traffic indoor spaces. Its enclosure is constructed from exterior-grade plywood, coated with industrial polyurethane for added durability, and protected by a three-layer stainless-steel grille to guard against water, dust, and debris. It is built to perform reliably in challenging environments.

Accurate Sound, Compact Package

Inside, the Bose AMU108 uses a two-way transducer system featuring an 8-inch high-excursion woofer and a 2-inch compression driver, crossed over at 1.4 kHz. This setup ensures tight low end and clean high-frequency detail, with a frequency response that covers 80 Hz to 18 kHz. Sensitivity ranges from 90 to 91 dB (free field), with a peak SPL output of up to 122 dB depending on the model and mounting. Despite their small size, both versions deliver clear, high-output sound ideal for voice and music reinforcement.

Powerful and Versatile Connections

Each speaker includes an integrated 70V/100V transformer with multiple tap settings (up to 80W) and an 8-ohm bypass for compatibility with both distributed and low-impedance systems. Power handling is rated at 200W RMS and 800W peak, offering the headroom needed for dynamic and demanding applications. When paired with Bose PowerShareX amplifiers and ControlSpace DSP, users can take advantage of factory-optimized presets for quick and accurate system tuning.

Flexible Mounting, Easy Integration

Each Bose AMU108 includes a stainless-steel U-bracket and features rear-panel M8 threaded inserts that support various mounting options, including pan-and-tilt brackets, suspension kits, and pole adapters. Its compact form factor and rust-resistant hardware make installation straightforward, even in tight or architecturally sensitive spaces. Matching black or white finishes help maintain visual consistency across different zones.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Applications

Whether it is filling a sports concourse, energizing a fitness center, or enhancing audio in a mid-sized worship space, the Bose AMU108 lineup fits a wide range of installation needs. These speakers are designed for scalable performance and easy integration into both new and existing systems. Pair them with Bose MB210-WR subwoofers and PowerShareX amplifiers for a complete, high-performing audio solution across indoor and outdoor areas.

When your project requires reliable coverage, high output, and installation flexibility, the Bose AMU108 and AMU108-120 provide two powerful options within one unified design. Their durable construction, versatile mounting, and consistent sound performance make them ideal for demanding professional audio environments.
