Veritas 2160BL
The award-winning Veritas series from Bose Professional delivers superior background/foreground music, paging and multimedia for commercial applications. Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless input and user-intuitive OLED screen with quick-start QR code simplify setup—whether you’re a pro installer or a DIYer. With four models to choose from, Veritas amplifiers offer the perfect combination of power, performance and flexibility.
For applications requiring more power in a low-impedance 4/8-ohm system, the 2160BL delivers robust sound for larger rooms, restaurants, and performance spaces. It provides high output with advanced DSP tuning, perfect for integrators needing a high-performance amplifier for dynamic commercial audio without the complexity of a 70V/100V system.
