Description

Boston’s PV700 and PV900 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 surround sound system with their impressive bass output and compact size.

Both subwoofers utilize our rugged DCD™ (Deep Channel Design) 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 low-pass 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 PV700 and PV900 are capable of impres- sive 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 PV700 and PV900 subwoofers as convenient to use as they are exciting to listen to.

PV900, PV700 specifications

Boston Acoustics is known for its commitment to delivering high-quality audio products, and the PV900 and PV700 models are no exception. These speakers represent a blend of innovative technology and exceptional sound quality, ideal for both casual listeners and audiophiles alike.

The Boston Acoustics PV900 is a powerful floor-standing speaker that stands out due to its dynamic sound performance and elegant design. Featuring a dual 8-inch bass driver, the PV900 delivers deep, richlow frequencies, providing an immersive listening experience. This model includes a high-efficiency 1-inch tweeter, ensuring crisp highs that balance out the deeper tones, making it suitable for various music genres and movie sounds.

One of the main features of the PV900 is its use of proprietary BassTrac technology. This technology minimizes distortion during playback, allowing for clean and accurate sound reproduction, even at high volumes. The speaker's cabinet is constructed with a rigid and well-damped enclosure, which further enhances sound clarity and reduces unwanted resonance. The PV900 is also compatible with a range of receivers and amplifiers, making it an adaptable choice for any home theater system.

The PV700, on the other hand, is a compact bookshelf speaker that doesn't compromise on sound quality despite its smaller size. It is equipped with a single 6.5-inch woofer and the same high-efficiency 1-inch tweeter as the PV900, providing a well-rounded audio experience that can effectively fill a room. The PV700’s smaller footprint makes it particularly appealing for users with limited space, while still offering impressive sound performance.

Both the PV900 and PV700 feature Boston Acoustics’ advanced driver technology, which ensures clear and precise sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum. This results in a more natural listening experience, with excellent vocal clarity and instrument separation. The aesthetic design of both models also complements modern home decor, with a sleek finish and elegant lines.

In summary, the Boston Acoustics PV900 and PV700 are exemplary models that showcase the brand's dedication to quality sound and innovation. With features such as BassTrac technology, well-constructed enclosures, and high-efficiency drivers, they cater to audio enthusiasts looking for superior performance in their home audio systems. Whether you're enjoying music or watching films, these speakers promise an enriching auditory experience.
