A step-up version of the company’s award-winning SoundWare XS 5.1 system, SoundWare S offers home theatre lovers even greater acoustic performance, with more immersive surround sound, more detailed dynamics and higher output. The high gloss black version of the system will be available in October 2011.

The SoundWare S system is comprised of five ultra-compact SoundWare S satellites, each measuring less than 4 inches, plus a compact 10” 200W (300W peak) powered subwoofer. It’s the ideal solution for consumers who want to do away with bulky “box type” speakers and enjoy rich, room-filling sound in a stylish, compact system.

Boston Acoustics vice president of sales Kevin Zarow says, “Our SoundWare line has been embraced because of its distinct design and flexibility. Now consumers looking for a compact, high performing home theatre speaker system have another option with our SoundWare S. The slightly larger sized SoundWare S speakers create an even greater acoustic experience than that of our award-winning SoundWare XS 5.1 system.”

For users who want an even more detailed and immersive audio soundscape, Boston Acoustics is making optional SoundWare S Special Edition satellite speakers available, allowing users to create 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound systems. The compact satellites provide the dramatic audio power and performance of true two-way speakers, with 3½-inch (65mm) mid-bass drivers and ¾-inch dome tweeters.

Boston’s “smart” features

Like all Boston Acoustics products, the new SoundWare S includes “smart” features designed to give consumers several ways to enjoy all their entertainment content:

Distinct SoundWare polyhedron shape for virtually unlimited placement options.
Stealth articulating mounting brackets allow the speakers to be hung flush on a wall, or tucked away in a corner while allowing the speaker to be angled towards the main listening area.
Powered subwoofer features Boston’s Patented BassTrac circuitry for clear undistorted bass at all listening levels and includes both speaker level inputs and outputs and a line level out, providing consumers with the easiest, most flexible setup.
Miniaturised authentic 2-way satellite system for true full range sound.
Satellites feature dual wire channels for easy connections, with rear panel wire grooves for easier hook-up.
MagnaGuard magnetic shielding.
