What it means to be from Boston.
Many manufacturers design speaker systems around third-party, off -the-shelf parts.
Boston Acoustics engineers every component of every system to meet the highest performance
standards (our own). Of course, performance is only one measure of value. So we’re careful to
build all our products with strict attention to everything from the choice of materials to the
details of fi t and fi nish. It’s how we’ve been exceeding the expectations of serious listeners for
nearly thirty years.
May we have your full attention?
HS Series fl oorstanding speakers pack a lot of technology into their trim ABS exteriors.
MBOS (Maximum Bass Output System) uses passive radiators and a rear port to improve bass
performance — without the audible noise of a port alone. Proprietary Deep Channel® Design
(DCD) poly cones with phase plugs deliver smooth, consistent response at any output level.
Front baffl
es are gently curved. And the cabinets themselves are heavily braced to reduce
unwanted resonances. The combined result is the natural, captivating sound you expect from
Boston, with clean, contemporary style.
MBOS (Maximum Bass Output System)
includes rear port and passive radiators
