Bose® DesignMax DM5C In-Ceiling Speakers — Premium Commercial Audio with Architectural Elegance
Experience exceptional installed sound performance with the premium Bose DesignMax DM5C 5.25'' In‑Ceiling Loudspeaker — a professional-grade commercial ceiling speaker system engineered to deliver rich full-range audio, outstanding speech intelligibility, and refined architectural aesthetics for modern commercial and luxury residential environments.
The Bose DesignMax DM5C combines a 5.25-inch woofer with a coaxially mounted 1-inch tweeter to provide balanced full-range audio reproduction with wide, consistent coverage. Bose engineered the DesignMax series specifically for hospitality venues, retail stores, restaurants, conference rooms, offices, educational spaces, and luxury smart home installations where both sound quality and visual integration are critical.
Supporting both 70/100V distributed audio systems and low-impedance installations, the DM5C provides flexible deployment options for professional integrators and commercial audio designers. The elegant low-profile grille and refined ceiling-mounted appearance allow the speakers to blend naturally into modern architectural environments while still delivering premium Bose Professional sound performance.

Why Choose the Bose DesignMax DM5C?
The DesignMax DM5C is designed for installations where premium sound quality, wide coverage, and refined aesthetics must work together seamlessly. Bose combines rich low-frequency performance, clear intelligible highs, and broad room coverage in a compact architectural form factor suitable for both foreground and background audio applications.
Unlike many basic commercial ceiling speakers, the DM5C utilizes a true coaxial two-way driver configuration that improves music reproduction, vocal clarity, and overall listening consistency throughout the space.
The speaker’s flexible installation support for both distributed commercial audio systems and traditional low-impedance amplifiers also makes it highly adaptable for professional AV installations.
