Our verdict

A discreet satellite pair for background music and voice in shops, restaurants and hotels, built into a FreeSpace system with a bass module. They do not work alone and need the separate bass module and an amplifier.

Overview

Bose designed these FreeSpace satellites for installed sound in retail, restaurant and hospitality spaces, pairing small surface-mount cubes with an Acoustimass bass module. Systems run on commercial constant voltage lines or low impedance and can be set for stereo or mono.

Small, neat satellites with a hidden bass module give a business full-range background music without large speakers. The bass module and amplifier are separate, so these two cubes are only part of a system.

Who it's for

Installers outfitting retail floors, restaurants and lobbies get flexible, decor-friendly satellites. Home users without a bass module and commercial amp cannot use them on their own.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Small, discreet satellites
  • Works on 70/100V or low impedance
  • Stereo or mono setups
  • Mix with flush-mount parts
Cons
  • Bass module sold separately
  • Needs an amplifier
  • Indoor use only
  • Installation is a pro job

Performance notes

Full-range sound depends on pairing the satellites with an Acoustimass bass module, which carries the low end below the cubes. Level is set by the transformer tap on the bass module for commercial lines. Indoor placement and spacing decide how evenly music covers a room.
