Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer Boston Acoustics has taken sound technology to a whole new level with the introduction of its innovative and space-saving Boston Acoustics SoundWare Great Sound Anywhere Speakers. This all-purpose two-way SoundWare indoor/outdoor speaker offers an unprecedented range of easy and flexible mounting options, and makes it possible to enjoy high-performance audio in all situations. It is ideal for use in restaurants, retail stores, homes, smaller apartments and even by outdoor entertainers. SoundWare speakers are a unique combination of sonic performance, space efficiency and application flexibility.

Shown here in white, the SoundWare speakers have a unique polyhedron shape designed to disappear into its surroundings

Enjoy Loudspeakers that Blend In

SoundWare speakers are designed to literally disappear into a surrounding décor if desired. Thanks to its unique shape and one-of-a-kind internal mounting bracket, a SoundWare speaker can be placed virtually anywhere - flush in a corner, flat on a wall, flat on a table or angled up 30 or 45 degrees on a flat surface. The two included brackets mount the speaker just 1 cm from any flat surface or flush in a corner. When mounted flush on a wall, the speaker can be articulated down or sideways to provide the ideal sonic angle.

Make It Stand Out with "Paint-Ready" Surfaces and Multiple Color Options

For consumers who want to customize the look of their SoundWare speakers to stand out or complement the décor of any environment, they feature paint-ready cabinet surfaces. All SoundWare grilles and enclosures take paint coverage easily and fully. Additionally, these speakers are available in seven colors, including Black, White, Silver, Just Red, Bamboo, Natural and Espresso.

High Performance and Quality Materials for Great Sound Anywhere

SoundWare is compact, high performance audio that redefines the word "versatile". With a unique polyhedron shape, and highly-articulated mounting brackets, SoundWare is designed to fit anywhere music needs to be. Each SoundWare loudspeaker features a 4 1/2 inch driver and a powerful 3/4 inch tweeter built into the high-tech plastic cabinet. Built from durable weather resistant materials, SoundWare offers a new level of space efficiency and placement flexibility for either indoor or outdoor soundscaping.

For commercial applications there is a "Safety bar" on one of the speaker surfaces allowing for secondary independent security mounting if desired.

Made of weather-resistant materials, SoundWare is built to withstand everything from scattered showers to tropical depressions and anything else Mother Nature is likely to throw at them. They can be installed into a corner, on the middle of a wall, where the wall meets the ceiling, outdoors and under eaves minimizing their visibility, or even behind a couch facing straight up for total invisibility as a great surround sound speaker.

I received an amazing deal - probably because of the bright red color. I replaced my old Radio Shack outdoor speakers that were behind my grill with these. Now I have NO break in sound as I leave the back deck, turn the corner and walk to the grill. These speakers match the larger back deck speakers in sound and resonance and fill the space nicely with a better sound quality than I expected.

I ordered two pair of speakers. The speakers provide good sound in a small package. The mounting system is very good: simple, secure, and highly flexible. Someone put a lot of thought into this. The speakers are, however, larger than they appear in the product photo. Look at the dimensions before ordering. The size was one of the reasons I ordered this brand. I saw/heard a pair of these in a restaurant and was impressed with the sound. There is a surprising amount of clean mid bass for such a small enclosure.

I was disappointed for two reasons. First, it was obvious that 2 of the 4 speakers I ordered were returned by a previous buyer (speakers out of packing bags, documents out of bags, serial numbers not sequential etc) and the speakers were not advertised as returns. Second, one of the two brand new speakers (serial numbers = sequential) was missing the Boston Acoustics logo on the front.

Two speakers are mounted outside on a deck, two are mounted in our kitchen. My wife is OK with the sound but not with the red color. I will have to paint them.

I really like these speakers - I have a pair in my bathroom hooked up to a Sonos music system, and for being the first experience I have owning Boston Acoustics (I always buy Klipsch speakers, but their outdoor weather resistant models are about twice the retail of these) I am pleased. I am familiar with their brand, just haven't owned any prior to this pair. I would definitely recommend them, even at a price higher than they retail they are fantastic.

The installation is nice, I enjoyed the way of connection to the wall bracket (which works awesome in a corner, you can't see the bracket and it installs with two screws!), makes it look like they are floating rather than mounted and angled. They are well built, feel sturdy in your hands while you're installing them. You can use a good quality speaker wire as the banana connectors are accommodating, easy to connect.

They sound great, bathroom installation or not - although if you are installing them outdoors you may want to experiment with two pair over a large area, since sound travels more outdoors.

I got the red color to make them stand out a bit, and Amazon had them on special as well.

These are, single speakers for the price - they come shipped one per box so make sure you buy two of them to make a pair!
