loudspeakers are high-performance, surface-

mount loudspeakers designed for background

music and speech reproduction in a wide range

of commercial applications including retail,

restaurant and hospitality establishments.

These 16-watt loudspeakers can provide

coverage both indoors (DS 16S) and outdoors

(DS 16SE). Horizontal or vertical mounting

options offer installation flexibility. The DS 16S

and DS 16SE loudspeakers meet numerous

installation: (1) Wire and attach the wall bracket

(2) Secure the loudspeaker to the wall bracket

with one screw (3) Snap the wire connector into

the wall bracket. The included bracket allows for

horizontal or vertical mounting positions, each

with either pitch or yaw adjustment.

The DS 16S and DS 16SE loudspeakers can

be used as 8-ohm, 16-watt loudspeakers

or 70/100V loudspeakers. An easy-to-access

Performance of the FreeSpace DS 16S and DS 16SE

loudspeakers can be maximized through the use of

the recommended Bose loudspeaker equalization

resident in select Bose electronics or by using

other equipment with parametric equalization.

The loudspeakers can be used out of the box with

an 80-Hz high-pass filter when recommended

loudspeaker equalization is not used.

The DS 16S and DS 16SE loudspeakers are

acoustically compatible with FreeSpace Model 16

on the same loudspeaker line.

The contemporary styling easily blends with a

wide variety of décors.
