Product Description

The Bose®Panaray®MA12 Modular Line Array Loudspeaker System is a modular system used

for mid/high frequency sound reproduction. It is a vented enclosure design using 12 full range

drivers housed in a closely spaced line.

The loudspeaker provides a means for mechanical attachment of two units to form a rigid single

line source by using the CB-MA12 coupling bracket (see table below). Each loudspeaker has

two Neutrik®connectors and one barrier style terminal so that multiple units can be connected

as a system in series and parallel.

The Bose Panaray MA12 Loudspeaker can be used with the Bose Panaray MB4 Modular Bass

Loudspeaker for dynamic full range reproduction.

Disassembly Procedures

Note: Refer to the figure below for the

following procedures.

1. End Cap Removal

1.1 Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,

remove the six screws (4) that secure the

steel end cap (5) to the housing and grille

trim.

1.2 Gently pull the end cap away from the

housing.

Re-assembly Note: When replacing the end

cap, ensure that it is fully seated against the

housing for an airtight seal. Replace all six

screws to prevent air leaks.

2. Grille Assembly Removal

2.1 Remove the two screws at the front of

each end cap.

2.2 Take the grille trim (14) along with the U-

rubber channel (13) away from the end of

the grille (11).

2.3 Gently pull the grille assembly away

from the housing. Be careful not to mark

the surface of the grille or the housing.

3. Driver Removal

3.1 Perform procedure 2.

3.2 Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,

remove the sixteen screws (8) that secure

the baffle to the housing.

3.3 Lift the baffle with the six drivers (7) out

of the housing.

3.4 Unplug the driver cable wires from the

driver you wish to remove.

3.5 Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,

remove the four screws (9) that secure the

driver to the baffle. Lift out the driver.

Test Procedures

1. Air Leak Test

1.1 Set up the system for test as shown in

Figure 5.

1.2 Apply a 100 Hz, 10 Vrms sine wave to

the input connectors.

1.3 Listen carefully for any air leaks from

around the end cap, drivers and the baffle.

Air leaks will be heard as a hissing or sput-

tering sound. All repairs must be hidden.

Test duration should be 5 seconds minimum.

2. Rub and Tick Test

2.1 Perform disassembly procedure 3. It is

not necessary to unplug the wires at the

driver assembly terminals.

2.2 Connect a signal generator directly to

the terminals of the driver under test.

2.3 Apply a 20 Hz, 5 Vrms sine wave to the

driver assembly.

2.4 Listen carefully for any extraneous

noises, such as rubbing, scraping or ticking.

Note: To distinguish between normal sus-

pension noise and rubs or ticks, displace the

cone slightly with your fingers.

If the noise stays the same, it is normal

suspension noise and the driver is fine.

Suspension noise will not be heard with

program material.

3. Phase Test

3.1 Momentarily apply 10 VDC to the loud-

speaker input connector. Apply the positive

to pin “1+” and the negative to pin “1-” of the

Neutrik®connector.

3.2 When applying the DC voltage level,

observe the driver cones. They should all

move outward when the DC level is applied.

3.3 Rewire any incorrectly wired driver.

4. System Sweep Test

4.1 Set up the system for test as shown in

Figure 5.

4.2 Apply a 10 Hz, 10 Vrms sine wave to the

loudspeaker input connector.

4.3 While listening to the output of the

system, sweep the input frequency slowly

from 10 Hz to 20 kHz.

4.4 Listen carefully for any extraneous

noises such as buzzing or ticking.
