CEDIA US Expo 2007

Boston Acoustics, Inc., a world-renowned manufacturer of high-performance loudspeakers and home entertainment products, will express its bold new "Play Smart(tm)" attitude at CEDIA 2007 with a broad range of exciting new products that meld elegant styling with the highest quality audio reproduction technologies, providing consumers with fresh solutions for expressing their personal style and tastes. The "Play Smart(tm)" attitude animates every aspect of the new Boston Acoustics brand experience, from product and product design to visual identity, tone of voice and verbal branding.

The Boston Acoustics product lineup, on display at the company's CEDIA Booth #104, includes stylish new Boston Horizon Series loudspeakers and compact 5.1-Channel speaker systems, breakthrough SoundWare indoor/outdoor speakers, the one-of-a-kind TVee Model Two Television Entertainment Enhancement System and more, plus a totally new concept in customizable loudspeaker design called the Boston Personal Options Plan (P.O.P.).

Boston Acoustics Sr. Vice-President & General Manager Eli Harary, noted: "The Boston Acoustics brand has a longstanding reputation for excellence in build quality, performance and innovation. In creating our new lineup, our engineering team took a fresh approach to product design. Rather than simply looking for 'product solutions,' our approach was to look at 'real people solutions.' This is manifested in products that provide new opportunities for personalization and customization, while maintaining our 'best in class' performance values. The new Boston Acoustics is equal parts performance, expression and experience - with an added touch of playfulness and fun."

"Make It Your Own" with Boston Personal Options Plan (P.O.P.) Boston Acoustics new Play Smart(tm) attitude is reflected in the company's innovative new concept in loudspeaker design called the Boston Personal Options Plan (P.O.P.). P.O.P. gives people a new way to customize the look of their products and truly "make them their own" by expressing their personal style. Consumers who purchase any of Boston Acoustics' new Horizon Series products as well as the new TVee Model Two, may choose from a variety of removable and replaceable cloth speaker grilles available in colors ranging from Glacier, Rosebud, Onyx, Pearl Gray, Caramel, Chocolat, Silver, and Chili Pepper. The grilles blend and complement the soft-touch painted finish and integrated color-coordinated rubber trim on Boston Acoustics' new speaker products (all Boston Horizon speakers are available in either soft-touch painted mist with silver grilles or midnight with onyx grilles). To purchase a new grille, customers can simply visit the Boston Acoustics website (www.bostonacoustics.com/POP) and select the color of their choice or contact those dealers that will be stocking the grille color options.

Horizon Series: Sheer Elegance Combined with Sonic Accuracy

Boston Acoustics' Horizon Series loudspeakers combine a unique sense of "honest" design with extraordinary performance and sonic accuracy. From their soft-touch painted finish and integrated color-coordinated rubber trim to their leading-edge audio technologies, Boston Horizon speakers are designed to literally sound as good as they look. The Boston Horizon Series includes a range of ten different speaker sizes and configurations, from bookshelf and floor-standing models to powered subwoofers. Horizon Series speakers are scheduled to ship in October 2007.

Also in the Boston Horizon Series are two new high-performance 5.1-Channel Surround systems, Models MCS130 (SRP: $799.99) and MCS100 (SRP: $499.99), both designed to give consumers an easy way to add the powerful dynamics of room-filling audio to their home entertainment. In addition to their advanced sound reproduction technologies, the new systems feature a variety of design enhancements and aesthetic touches, such as gently contoured speaker cabinets and color-coordinated rubber trim, that provide a stylish alternative to traditional surround sound speaker systems.

TVee Model Two, A Television Entertainment Enhancement System

The Boston Acoustics TVee Model Two (SRP: $399.99) is a simple TV accessory designed to enhance the enjoyment of TV watching. The innovative system consists of a slim single powered "soundbar" that can be placed either underneath or on top of a flat-panel TV, or easily mounted on the wall, along with a matching wireless woofer that can be placed anywhere in the room to deliver added dynamic bass response. Once hooked up, viewers will enjoy an overall enhanced TV experience. A single wire runs from the soundbar into their television's line-level output, and because the woofer is wireless, it can be placed virtually anywhere, even in a corner behind the couch, and still provide added bass response. The TVee Model Two is scheduled to ship later this month.
