Bose Professional Panaray MA12 Modular Vertical Line-Array Loudspeaker (White)

The Bose 40188 is a loudspeaker that uses a modular vertical line array and is marketed as the Panaray MA12. It is designed for projects where clear speech and balanced music need to reach every listener, even in rooms that suffer from strong echoes or irregular acoustics.

Twelve 2.25 inch full-range drivers sit in a straight vertical column. This arrangement produces horizontal coverage of 145 degrees, so people seated at the far sides of a hall hear the same tonal balance as those in the center. At the same time, the 20 degree vertical pattern directs energy away from floors and ceilings, helping reduce unwanted reflections that can blur vocals.

The cabinet’s modular construction lets installers stack additional units when a space requires longer throw distance or tighter vertical control. When low-frequency impact is needed, the MA12 can be paired with Bose modular bass loudspeakers to create a full-range system that handles both speech and music with authority.

An aluminum enclosure finished in white allows the loudspeaker to blend with the architecture of houses of worship, lecture theaters, restaurants, courtrooms, or transit hubs. Power handling of 300 W continuous (1200 W peak) at 8 ohms means it fits comfortably with a wide selection of commercial amplifiers. Two NL4 speakON connectors and a 2-pin barrier strip provide flexible wiring options.

Weighing just 19 lb, the Panaray MA12 is light enough for one technician to mount, yet it delivers the output and clarity expected in professional sound installations. Integrators who need intelligible coverage without visual distraction will find it a dependable solution.
