Horizon Series HPS-10SE Subwoofer Speaker -- Never Miss a Moment of Excitement or Sound

The Horizon series HPS 10SE 10-inch subwoofer has what it takes to deliver all the excitement Hollywood’s newest movies can dish out. A subwoofer's job is to move you by moving the air around you, and the HPS 10SE stirs things up nicely. A 10-inch front-firing Deep Channel Design (DCD) woofer, BassTrac circuitry and 150 watts of power work together to deliver all the excitement Hollywood's newest movies can dish out. Equipped with a 10-inch woofer cone and a high-output front firing, rear ported DCD driver.

Feel the Pounding Beat

The Horizon series includes four powered subwoofers, each of which features a high-output, front-firing, DCD woofer. DCD means powerful bass without bottoming out. The front-firing design increase placement flexibility, including use in cabinets. Boston's patent-pending BassTrac® circuitry means distortion-free bass at all levels.

Ultra-rigid, reinforced cabinets means that the amplifier and driver are moving the air in the room rather than making the box shake...you'll get more and cleaner output.

Consistent Features for Consistent Performance

There's a continuously variable level control plus a two-position phase switch. Even when a subwoofer is electrically in phase with the rest of the speakers in the room, it is possible for it to be acoustically out of phase based on subwoofer placement and primary listening position. Just have someone flip the switch back and forth while you're in your favorite spot...use which position sounds best. There are both line and LFE inputs for connection flexibility.

Woofers traditionally have used a dust cap to seal the motor structure from dirt and debris. It is possible to engineer the dust cap so that it works in a proper acoustic manner, but one inherent disadvantage of dust caps is that they seal in the heat created by the voice coil. A woofer phase plug improves power handling by venting the voice coil, and it can help smooth the response of the driver at its high frequency limit.

There's a racetrack-shaped, dual-flared, rear port to help eliminate chuffing, an adjustable footing just like you will find on most of the speakers, and the same soft-touch finish as well on three of the four models.

Variety is the Spice of Life

The HPS 10SE is Boston Acoustics most affordable powered subwoofer, but it's no wimp: 150 watts RMS with a 10-inch woofer. Want more output from a smaller enclosure? Then the HPS 10HO is the right choice. The HO stands for high output, and its 250 watts of RMS power will deliver an amazing amount of bass for a subwoofer of this size. Then, there's the HPS 12HO, the same size as the 10SE, but with twice as much power, 300 watts, and a 12-inch DCD front-firing woofer. All three subwoofers are available in either Midnight or Mist. The HPS 10HO and 12HO feature the same soft-touch finish that is found on the bookshelf, LCR, and floorstanding speakers.

Boston Acoustics Horizon series subwoofer speakers are the foundation of any pulse pounding beat. Augment and compliment your system with everything from surround sound speakers to center channel speakers to satellite speakers. There's no need to limit your entertainment system when you have a myriad of speakers to choose from.

	Horizon Series MCS100 Satellite Speakers: With the same Deep Channel Design (DCD) woofers and soft-dome tweeters found in Boston Acoustics MCS 100 speakers, these are ideal rear-speakers solution for expanding any system--even the MCS 100 itself. Includes a 3-inch mid bass driver and a 3/4-inch soft dome tweeter as well as Reduced Baffle Diffraction Design (RBDD) for wider, smoother sound dispersion.
	Horizon Series MCS130-SUR Surround Speakers: With the same Deep Channel Design (DCD) driver as the Boston Acoustics MCS 130LCR speaker, but a significantly smaller footprint, the 130SUR works as both a great standalone bookshelf system and an ideal home theater surround system. Equipped with a 3.5-inch mid bass driver and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter as well as Reduced Baffle Diffraction Design (RBDD) for wider, smoother sound dispersion.
	Horizon Series MCS130 LCR Speaker: With a soft-dome tweeter and dual 3.5-inch mid bass driver, this compact speaker delivers great front-speaker sound from any position--left, right and center--and a slim-profile design that complements the look of today's most popular video displays. Identical to the LCR speakers in the MCS 130 package, they make it easy to extend the excitement of an existing MCS 130 system to a second zone. Equipped with dual 3.5-inch mid bass drivers and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter as well as Deep Channel Design (DCD) for more bass from less amplifier power.
	Horizon Series HS225 Center Channel Speaker: The Boston Acoustics HS 225 center channel speaker delivers pure Hollywood excitement by way of Boston. Dual Deep Channel Design (DCD) woofers deliver smoother, deeper bass. And reduced diffraction baffles ensure cleaner, more uncolored sound. Includes dual 5.25-inch woofers and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter as well as MagnaGuard video shielding.
