Boston Acoustics CS225CB Single 2-way black Classic series center-channel speaker

Take the lead

It's funny: the center-channel speaker is probably the most overlooked speaker in a home audio surround sound system, and yet, it's probably the speaker you pay attention to most. That's because while front- and rear-surround speakers and the subwoofer concern themselves with reproducing surround sound effects, it's the center-channel speaker that takes responsibility for movie dialogue and music vocals. And when it comes to these two components of your home listening experience, you don't want to miss a single detail. Teaming up a single 1.0" tweeter and dual 5.25" woofers, the CS225C center-channel speaker from Boston Acoustics brings dialogue and vocals into your home theater with clarity and nuance, ensuring that you hear the lead actor's every sigh or whisper, the lead singer's every vibrato. Further, the CS225C delivers a high enough level of performance to serve up some front-channel audio effects, too. Designed to take the lead in your home theater: the CS225C from Boston Acoustics.

Of drivers and ports

While a variety of design considerations are essential to producing a loudspeaker capable of delivering powerful yet clear audio, two stand out above the rest: a speaker's drivers and its cabinet. First, while the CS225C employs a 1.0" Kortec soft-dome tweeter to serve up crystalline high-frequency audio, it turns to two 5.25" graphite-injected polymer woofers with Deep Channel Design technology to reproduce full bass and mid-range audio. Second, enhancing the reproduction of controlled, efficient bass audio, the CS225C sports a bass-reflex cabinet design. By freeing the movement of air behind the speaker's drivers, the acoustically tuned bass-reflex port not only allows for greater speaker efficiency but also achieves improved bass extension and performance.

MagnaGuard

All of the components in your home theater system use electricity. They use it for power and for audio and video signal transmission. Accordingly, they all emit some amount of electromagnetic radiation. Because speakers operate using large magnets and require large amounts of power to reproduce sound, their output of electromagnetic energy can potentially interfere with the signals being used by other components. Ensuring seamless integration in to your home A/V system, the folks at Boston Acoustics have designed the CS225C with MagnaGuard magnetic shielding, protecting other A/V components from electromagnetic interference.

Going for gold

Ensuring high-conductivity and low-corrosivity for high-performance, enduring audio reproduction, the Boston Acoustics CS225C speaker uses gold-plating on its five-way binding-post inputs.

The finishing touches — cables

A high-performance floorstanding speaker like the CS225C can only help your home audio system reach its full potential if it is receiving a quality, high-integrity audio signal. Audio cables — chosen specifically for the needs of your system — deliver the ability to maximize your CS225C's potential.
