Bose Professional has announced the global availability of the Forum series multipurpose loudspeakers. The Bose Professional Forum series offers exceptional fidelity and surprisingly high output in a compact, install-friendly form factor—bringing a level of performance that’s rarely found in loudspeakers of comparable size and price.
According to Shawn Watts, Director of Product Management, the Forum series sets a new standard by combining precision engineering with flexible installation options that allow for quick configuration on the spot. Its proprietary Beamwidth Matching Waveguide ensures the signature Bose sound—clear, consistent, and far-reaching. The compact enclosures, which can be rotated to adapt coverage patterns, offer an elegant and efficient solution for real-world acoustic demands.
Available in 8-inch and 12-inch coaxial models, Forum FC108 and Forum FC112 are designed for fast and easy installation on projects where a small footprint, high output, and consistent sound are a priority. High-excursion drivers deliver up to 132 dB max SPL, while the Beamwidth Matching Waveguide aligns low and high frequencies for tonal consistency across the coverage area. Forum series loudspeakers employ a fully tuned passive crossover with no additional processing required at installation, ensuring excellent performance with any full-range signal right out of the box.
The Forum FC108 is an 8-inch full-range coaxial point-source loudspeaker designed for small-to-midsized areas with a frequency range of 53 Hz–20 kHz, 122 dB max SPL, and 110° × 60° coverage. The Forum FC112 is a 12-inch full-range coaxial point-source loudspeaker with a frequency range of 48 Hz–20 kHz, 132 dB max SPL, and also provides 110° × 60° coverage. Forum FC112 fills mid-to-large areas with even sound while delivering pinpoint accuracy in high-impact zones. Both speakers can be rotated at installation to change the coverage pattern to 60° × 110°.
Both Forum series loudspeakers are IP43-rated for long-lasting durability in indoor and protected outdoor environments. Installation points on the top, bottom, and sides of the enclosure connect to a frame that’s integrated with the driver—making the entire cabinet rigid and secure when suspended. The cabinet’s orientation can be switched to fit a space’s unique demands while maintaining aesthetic consistency with adjustable logos. Mounting options include U-brackets, suspension rails, and optional eyebolt suspension.
CEO John Maier added that the product reflects Bose Professional’s 50-year legacy of listening to industry partners and solving real customer problems. Forum meets the essential needs of designers, installers, and contractors, offering power, fidelity, coverage, control, and straightforward installation. This innovative product line embodies the spirit of the newly reenergized Bose Professional and highlights the brand’s ongoing commitment to collaborative design and purposeful innovation.
