Boston Acoustics Unleashes System10k ñ No Compromise, Space-Saving Home Theatre Speaker System
Adding to its popular line of complete home theatre speaker packages, Boston Acoustics unveiled the System10k, a set of five high-performance satellite speakers cast in elegant black or white aluminum housings. When combined with a state-of-the art Boston powered subwoofer, the result is a powerful, complete home theatre speaker system that delivers the same level of performance as a much larger system, yet doesn't visually dominate the user's room. The five identical Micro100x speakers are ideal as LCR (Left/Center/Right) and surround channels of a high-performance, space-conscious home theatre system and will measure up to the no-compromise expectations of even the most dedicated home theatre or audio connoisseur. Despite their compact design, these products incorporate all of the world renowned technology and performance of Boston's top-rated floor standing speakers yet only take up a fraction of the space. Special rubber-tipped aluminum isolation feet and a supplied mounting bracket allows the Micro100x to be positioned vertically, horizontally, on a flat surface or mounted to walls - virtually anywhere. Product Highlights And Specifications The Micro100x Each Micro100x satellite uses a 5 1/4-inch bass/midrange unit with a die-cast aluminum basket and Boston's 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter with patented AMD(TM) (Amplitude Modification Device). The AMD creates an extremely smooth, accurate response, resulting in remarkably natural, accurate high frequencies. An extremely rigid and heavy die-cast aluminum enclosure is used to eliminate unwanted cabinet resonances, for clearer sound. Carefully designed to optimize the system's performance, the Micro100x's enclosure features a bass reflex port that is precisely flared at both ends to minimize audible port turbulence. The area surrounding the tweeter is free of obstructions in order to maintain a uniform and transparent high frequency response. The PV800 PowerVent Powered Subwoofer The key to the system's high performance, yet small size, is the apportionment of all the bass to a newly developed powered subwoofer that is capable of reproducing the lowest notes in music and the lowest sounds in movie soundtracks with no compromise and full impact. The recommended Boston powered 12-inch subwoofer, the PV800, offers excellent performance and 300 watts of room-filling power. Its down-firing driver features Boston's DCD(TM) (Deep Channel Design) technology. Using Finite Element Analysis computer modeling to optimize the driver's magnetic structure, Boston engineers cut a groove in the poleplate, increasing voice coil excursion, while maintaining the driver's high efficiency. The result is a driver that can move a large volume of air for high output and low distortion, without bottoming out. The PV800 PowerVent Powered Subwoofer offers total hookup flexibility for use in any kind of audio system. When used with digital home theater electronics, this subwoofer offers a crossover bypass position, providing the customer with a simple, one-cable connection for optimum bass reproduction. For use in stereo or analog home theater systems, its amplifier has a built-in variable crossover that makes it easy to achieve a seamless blend with the main speakers. In addition, the PV800 PowerVent Powered Subwoofer features a 24dB/octave low-pass filter to prevent the subwoofer from being easily localized by ear - maximizing placement flexibility in the room. Distribution The Boston System10K, priced at $1,500 MSRP, is sold at Boston Acoustics' specialty retailers. The PV800, sold separately, is priced at $700 MSRP.
