Boston Acoustics RPS 1000 - Manual (Page 2)

Modern elegance.
Legendary performance.
In an elegant fusion of technology, performance,
and stylish good looks, our new Reflection Series speakers
deliver clean, balanced sound worthy of our thirty year
heritage. While performance is the monarch of this line’s
feature set, its cutting-edge drivers and well-designed
crossovers are enclosed in an ultra scratch-resistant high
gloss finish that will endure years of play. That means these
speakers will make themselves at home in any environment
from living room to home theater. And after three decades of
perfecting the Boston Sound, you can be sure these speakers
will sound every bit as good as they look.
Attention to detail
Meticulously designed and solidly crafted, the most
discriminating enthusiasts will revel in the small details.
Each Reflection Series speaker comes cleverly appointed
with magnetic grilles and stylish contours for an uncluttered
modern appeal—but don’t be fooled, the 1,000 watt
powered subwoofer is both beauty and beast,
delivering wave after wave of heart-pounding bass
under its elegant exterior.
Advanced cabinet design
and driver configuration
While each speaker baffle features a smooth surface and invisible
hardware, the real secret behind Reflection’s Super Linear Plane (SLP)
Baffles is their unique ability to nearly eliminate acoustic diffraction.
Super-shallow grilles using an invisible magnetic attachment create an
almost entirely seamless alignment with the
baffle plane to significantly reduce sonic barriers.
The resulting sound is equally pristine with
the grilles on or off. Coupled with Reflection’s
tightly spaced driver placement, each speaker
delivers near-point-source sonic coherence,
wide dispersion, and astonishing imaging.
Multi-composite woofer cones
All Reflection models incorporate our new Fiber Ceramic
Copolymer Material (FCCM) Woofer cones made from a
composite of fiber and ceramic materials and impregnated in a
proprietary copolymer. By combining these
multi-composite cones with Boston’s
Deep Channel ® Design, these woofers
produce a smooth response over the
entire operating range. That means
you get all the thunder of high-output
bass and all the subtleties and detail of
the midrange—with minimal distortion.
Smart tweeter technology
While looks do impress, one of Reflection Series’ unique features is
actually “under the hood.” Our new EWB (Extended Wide Bandwidth)
tweeter borrows the same performance attributes found in our
flagship VS line—stabilized linear motion, lower distortion, improved
dispersion, power handling, and clarity. This was accomplished
by special central diaphragm termination (creating a dimple)
and rear chamber venting.
Shown above, the EWB tweeter’s unique design
features a diaphragm that is terminated at its center.
