Description
The Boston Bravo™ is a multi-purpose, high performance compact loudspeaker. The Boston Bravo, which uses Boston’s
patented one-inch aluminum dome VR tweeter with AMD and a 4

-inch woofer, can be combined with its supplied
mounting bracket or rear stand to be mounted or placed virtually anywhere in any room.
The Boston Bravo is essentially one-quarter of a cylinder, allowing it to be mounted vertically at any height in a corner, or
horizontally at the top of a wall, where wall and ceiling meet. Attaching the Boston Bravo to any surface is as simple as
mounting the bracket to the wall, removing the grille from the speaker, and then attaching the speaker to the bracket
using the supplied screws. Once the grille is placed back on the speaker, the means of attachment becomes virtually
invisible. Additionally, the Boston Bravo can be placed either horizontally or vertically on any flat surface, such as a table
or a shelf. Horizontally, it can either angle upward by resting on its two corner fillers or sit untilted using the rear stand.
By virtue of its patented VR tweeter, the Boston Bravo is an economical and appropriate choice as a surround speaker for
any Boston system using similarly equipped main and center channel speakers: VR-M50, 60, 80, 90 and VR-MC; VR940,
950, 965, 975, 910 and 920; MR90x, 100x and 90c. However, since it shares the Boston Sound
™
with all other Boston
speakers, the Boston Bravo can be used successfully as a surround speaker with any Boston main and center channel
speakers. The Boston Bravo can also be used in conjunction with any of today’s widely available quality loudspeaker
brands.
Because it is designed as a high-performance, general-purpose speaker, the Boston Bravo is suitable for any high-fidelity
application where it is important that the speaker blends into its surroundings. The Boston Bravo is well suited for back-
ground and whole house music applications. The Boston Bravo’s highly flexible mounting bracket allows it to be placed in
a wide variety of locations, and to for the speaker to be angled for optimum sound quality and three-dimensional
imaging. When a pair is placed vertically in the corners of a room, the Boston Bravo creates an unusually wide listening
window, providing true stereo sound reproduction over a broad area.
For full-range applications, it is recommended that the Boston Bravo be used in conjunction with one of Boston’s
powered subwoofers: PV400, 600, 800 or 1000. The Boston Bravo’s low frequency limit is 80Hz, allowing for a great deal of
placement flexibility for the subwoofer. The Boston Bravo’s robust design allows it be used with full-range signals and
amplifiers rated between 15 and 125 watts. Please note that the Boston Bravo is not magnetically shielded. Therefore, it
should not be placed closer than 18 inches from a tube television. The Boston Bravo may be used safely near projection
and plasma televisions.
