6 business music
system combines from 4 to 16 Bose full-
range loudspeakers with advanced

offers high-fidelity, stereo sound for
commercial environments. The system
offers two versions of loudspeaker: a
flush-mount and a surface-mount. The
system has the following features:
• High-fidelity sound over a large area
due to the wide beamwidth of the
loudspeakers
• Active equalization, music compression,
and system overload protection
• Unobtrusive yet stylish components,
reliability, and easy installation
• Opti-voice
®
circuitry for high quality
paging capability
• Remote control of volume and source
selection

System Expansion
The basic FreeSpace 6 business music
system is supplied with four flush-mount
or surface-mount loudspeakers. If addi-
tional loudspeakers are required for
coverage in larger spaces, the FreeSpace
6 Expansion Module (Prod. Code 010235)
is required. The Expansion Module can
power one to 12 additional loudspeakers.
System expansion requires connecting
the loudspeaker cable from each
loudspeaker to the Expansion Module
and plugging the Expansion Module into
Block 13 of the FreeSpace 6 system
electronics.
