Horizon Series MCS130 LCR Speaker -- Realistic Sound From All Angles

The Boston Acoustics Horizon series MCS130 LCR speaker packs a powerful punch with a slim profile. 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.

Take the excitement of movies to a whole new level (Shown in white)

Technology is Key

All Horizon bookshelf and LCR speakers share certain key technologies. They all use 1-inch Kortec® soft dome tweeters, for smooth, extended high frequency response out to 25kHz. The woofers feature Deep Channel® Design, or DCD, providing increased bass output without the risk of bottoming out. The woofers all have phase plugs for smoother midrange response and increased power handling. With Horizon, Boston introduces RBDD which stands for Reduced Baffle Diffraction Design. The result is wider and smoother dispersion and more life-like sound. Please click on the hyperlink to learn more. Finally, these models feature MagnaGuard® video shielding, making them safe for use near any type of display.

Features to Please

All Horizon bookshelf and LCR speakers share certain key features. They all have a racetrack shaped, rear port that is flared on both ends. The shape helps reduce the footprint of the port, taking up less room on the back of the speaker. The combination of the flared opening on both ends of the port tube and its rear location virtually eliminates chuffing, or audible port noise. They all have 5-way binding posts to accommodate the use of any thickness of speaker wire or style of termination. They all come with an adjustable footing, allowing them to sit securely on a flat surface either vertically or horizontally and to be angled toward the listening position. They all have an integrated keyhole for quick and easy wall mounting. The keyhole and standoffs on the back of the speaker keep it far enough off the wall to not block the port, maintaining the sound quality that the Boston engineers intended they have. They all feature a soft-touch finish, giving them an elegant high-end appearance and terrific feel.

Sized to Surprise

With many of the same technologies that drive Boston Acoustics' most powerful speakers, these compact speakers are sized to surprise.

Augment and Enhance Your Entertainment System Other Boston Acoustics Speakers

Boston Acoustics loudspeakers allow you to mix and match your speakers to get the exact sound you want for the room they are in. From surround sound speakers to center channel speakers to subwoofer speakers, there's no need to limit your entertainment system when you have a myriad of speakers to choose from.

	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 HS450 Speakers: Dual Deep Channel Design (DCD) poly cones with phase plugs, dual passive radiators and rear vent ports used in tandem to enhance bass performance and eliminate audible noise. Includes dual 5.25-inch woofers with matching passive radiators and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter as well as MBOS (Maximized Bass Output System) for improved bass acoustics.
	Horizon Series HPS 10SE 10-Inch Subwoofer: 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.
	Horizon Series HPS-12HO 12-Inch Subwoofer: There's no denying the HS 12HO is powerful, but it cannot be confused with a blunt instrument. The front baffle's gently curving surface minimizes diffraction. The woofer assembly features a low-mass poly cone and is heavily braced against the rear cabinet wall. The ABS cabinet itself is extensively ribbed to reduce unwanted resonances. Equipped with a 12-inch woofer cone and a high-output front firing, rear ported DCD driver.
