Description

Boston’s XB6 and XB8 subwoofers deliver the dynamic bass foundation that is essential for lifelike reproduction of movie soundtracks and music in the home. These attractive powered subwoofers will complement any stereo or home theater sound system with their impressive bass output and compact size.

Both subwoofers utilize our rugged Deep Channel® Design (DCD) bass unit designed in Boston’s state-of-the-art engineering facility in Peabody, Massachusetts. Every one is tested as it comes off the line to be within ±1dB of the lab reference unit, an incredibly tight tolerance. The amplifiers have built-in variable crossovers that allow them to easily achieve a seamless blend with the main speakers, while a 24dB/octave lowpass filter prevents the subwoofers from being easily localized by ear, increasing placement flexibility. A crossover bypass function is provided for use with home theater electronics that perform their own bass management.

Because of their high-powered amplifiers and computer-optimized tunings, the XB6 and XB8 are capable of impressive deep bass and high output from remarkably compact enclosures. In addition, they feature BassTrac®, a proprietary Boston-designed circuit that tracks the input signal to the subwoofer and prevents its amplifier from being driven into audible distortion. The benefit: the bass stays clean and strong at any listening level.

Auto on-off amplifier switching and easily accessible controls make the XB6 and XB8 subwoofers as convenient to use as they are exciting to listen to.
