What is the Bose FreeSpace DS 16S Surface-Mount Loudspeaker?
The Bose FreeSpace DS 16S is a high-performance, 16-watt surface-mount speaker featuring a single 2.25-inch full-range driver. It is engineered to deliver clear, balanced background music and speech with a broad 170° x 160° coverage pattern. Designed for indoor commercial applications, it features an integrated multi-tap transformer for 70V/100V systems and an 8-ohm bypass. Its compact design makes it the industry standard for retail, hospitality, and offices in the UAE. Available at Gigstore.
The Bose FreeSpace DS 16S is the most compact member of the renowned DS surface-mount family. Available at Gigstore, this speaker is the go-to solution for businesses in Dubai and Abu Dhabi that require high-quality audio from an unobtrusive source. Whether you are outfitting a quiet lounge or a busy retail corridor, the DS 16S provides the consistent tonal balance and speech intelligibility that the FreeSpace series is famous for.
Featuring a single 2.25" (57mm) full-range driver, the DS 16S eliminates the need for tweeters and crossovers, resulting in exceptionally natural sound. For UAE installers, the simple 1-2-3 installation system is a major benefit—the included bracket allows for horizontal or vertical mounting with pitch and yaw adjustments. This flexibility ensures you can direct the sound precisely, even in narrow aisles or high-ceiling environments.
One of the key advantages of the DS 16S is its shared voicing. This allows the DS 16S to be integrated into the same system as FreeSpace DS 40 and DS 100 loudspeakers while maintaining uniform sound quality across different zones. The integrated multi-tap transformer features an easy-to-use thumbwheel adjustment under the end cap, allowing for quick changes between 70V, 100V, or 8-ohm bypass modes during your project commissioning.
