Bose Professional announces the availability of the Forum loudspeakers and the Veritas intelligent mixer-amplifiers.

The company announces the global availability of two new product lines: the multi-purpose Forum series loudspeakers and the Veritas series intelligent mixer-amplifiers. Both launches demonstrate the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality, easy-to-install audio solutions for a wide variety of applications.

New Forum loudspeakers: compact marvels with exceptional performance

With two coaxial, point-source, full-range models, the Forum series offers exceptional fidelity and surprisingly high power in a compact, easy-to-install form factor, providing a level of performance rarely seen in speakers of comparable size and price.

Available in 8- and 12-inch versions, the Forum FC108 and Forum FC112 models are designed for quick and simple installation in projects where limited space, high performance and consistent sound are priorities. Their high-excursion drivers reach a maximum SPL of up to 132 dB. Beamwidth Matching Waveguide technology aligns low and high frequencies to deliver tonal consistency across the entire coverage area. Forum loudspeakers employ a fully tuned passive crossover, with no need for additional processing, ensuring excellent performance with any full-range signal and allowing them to be used straight out of the box.

The Forum FC108 is an 8-inch coaxial, point-source, full-range loudspeaker designed for small to medium-sized spaces, with a frequency range of 53 Hz–20 kHz, a maximum SPL of 122 dB and 110° × 60° coverage. The 12-inch model, Forum FC112, offers a frequency range of 48 Hz–20 kHz and a maximum SPL of 132 dB, together with constant 110° × 60° coverage—ideal for medium to large areas with uniform sound and pinpoint accuracy in high-impact zones. Both models can be rotated during installation to change the coverage pattern to 60° × 110°.

They carry an IP43 rating for durability indoors and in sheltered outdoor environments. The mounting points on the top, bottom and side of the enclosure are integrated into a rigid frame connected to the loudspeaker, making the cabinet secure even when installed overhead. The orientation can be changed to suit each space while maintaining aesthetic consistency thanks to adjustable logos. Mounting options include U-brackets, suspension rails and eyebolt suspension.

One advantage of having 50 years of experience is the relationship with audiovisual integration specialists, which gives us unique insight into solving customers’ real-world problems. Forum meets the requirements of the designers, installers and contractors we serve: power, compact size, exceptional fidelity, coverage, control and ease of installation. This level of collaborative design and visionary purpose embodies the spirit of the new Bose Professional, and we are very excited about the product-development roadmap we have drawn up with our most valued partners, says John Maier, Chief Executive Officer of Bose Professional.

Focus on sound and simplicity: Veritas intelligent mixer-amplifiers

Veritas intelligent mixer-amplifiers combine exceptional sound clarity and streamlined operation to deliver superior performance for background and foreground music, paging and multimedia applications in small and medium-sized commercial spaces.

The Veritas amplifiers have been designed to maximise the blend of sound and simplicity. They provide high-fidelity amplification, simplified installation and modern OLED displays for intuitive control from the very first moment. They are the perfect choice for high-ambience restaurants, shopping centres, sports facilities, bars, offices and public areas where sound intelligibility and ease of use are critical, says Shawn Watts, Director of Product Management at Bose Professional.

All Veritas amplifiers feature Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, providing greater range, lower latency and more reliable streaming, and include an OLED display with an integrated QR code to simplify setup. Scanning the code opens an intuitive web page that guides users through the entire installation, configuration and Bluetooth connection process, designed to get them up and running quickly and easily.

The Veritas series includes four models: Veritas 1100BH and Veritas 250BL, in half-rack format, and Veritas 2160BH and Veritas 2160BL, larger and more powerful.

• The Veritas 1100BH (half-rack) incorporates a front ¼-inch XLR input for convenient connection of microphones or audio sources. Designed for high-impedance 70 V/100 V systems, it is ideal for small rooms, offices and boutiques.
• With similar features to the 1100BH, the Veritas 250BL is perfect for self-installed systems, offering a professional half-rack amplifier for low-impedance audio systems (4 or 8 ohms).
• For medium-sized 70 V or 100 V distributed audio systems requiring greater flexibility, the Veritas 2160BH delivers uniform coverage and exceptional performance, making it ideal for hotels, retail premises and multi-zone installations.
• Similar to the 2160BH but aimed at low-impedance systems (4 or 8 ohms) that need more power, the Veritas 2160BL provides robust sound for large rooms, restaurants and performance spaces.

All models include a rear ControlCenter port for connecting an optional Bose Professional analogue wall controller, making volume adjustment easy. They also come with rack-mount kits and other accessories to ensure discreet installation on tables, desks, counters, shelves and behind monitors.

Both the Forum loudspeakers and the Veritas amplifiers are available worldwide through Bose Professional’s authorised dealer network.
