The Boston Horizon bookshelf models are designed to easily mount on the wall using the keyhole slot(s) on the back of the speaker. When mounting the speakers to the wall, use the supplied rubber bumpers. You must remove the attached foot to wall-mount your speakers. Remove the thumbscrew from the back of the foot. It is slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin.

The keyhole mounting option is similar to hanging a picture frame on a wall. Install a screw into the sheetrock, making sure to go into a stud, and hang the speaker onto the screw head. If a stud is not available a sheetrock anchor should be used to support the weight of the speaker.

NOTE: You are responsible for the correct selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores) that will ensure the proper and safe wall-mounting of the speakers.

Speaker Connections

After your speakers are properly placed, you are ready to wire your system. First, turn off all system power. We recommend

18-gauge wire or thicker for runs up to 25 feet (8m), and 16-gauge wire or thicker for longer runs. Separate the first few inches of the wire conductors. Strip off 1/2” (12mm) of insulation from the ends of each speaker wire to expose the two conductors and tightly twist the wire strands. Please see the illustration below for guidance connecting the wires to your speakers. For connection to your receiver, please refer to its owner’s manual.

HS225 specifications

Boston Acoustics HS225 is a remarkable speaker known for its exceptional sound quality and innovative design. This versatile two-way speaker is aimed at delivering an immersive listening experience that is perfect for both music lovers and home theater enthusiasts alike.

One of the standout features of the HS225 is its 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer, which is engineered to provide deep bass response while maintaining clarity in the mid-range frequencies. This woofer utilizes a rubber surround that not only enhances the durability of the speaker but also allows for greater cone movement, leading to improved sound reproduction. Complementing the woofer is a 1-inch soft dome tweeter that delivers crisp and detailed high frequencies. This combination ensures a well-balanced sound profile, making any audio source enjoyable to listen to.

The HS225 also incorporates advanced technologies designed to reduce distortion and enhance audio fidelity. Boston Acoustics has employed a custom-designed port system that promotes better airflow within the cabinet, which minimizes chuffing and turbulence. This design choice allows the speaker to produce tighter bass, resulting in a more dynamic and engaging sound.

Another notable characteristic of the HS225 is its thoughtfully crafted enclosure. The cabinet is constructed with high-quality MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), which not only adds structural integrity but also reduces unwanted resonances, leading to a purer sound output. The speaker features a rear-firing bass port that aids in low-frequency response without compromising on space, making it ideal for various room sizes.

The HS225 is also designed for versatility, making it suitable for different audio setups. Whether used in a stereo configuration or as part of a home theater system, the HS225 can seamlessly integrate with various components. Its stylish finish and modern aesthetic allow it to blend effortlessly into any decor, adding a touch of elegance to the room.

In summary, the Boston Acoustics HS225 is a high-performance speaker that combines advanced technologies with thoughtful design. Its impressive woofer and tweeter, along with a robust cabinet construction, make it a top choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience. With its ability to deliver exceptional sound quality across multiple formats, the HS225 stands out as a reliable and stylish option for audio enthusiasts.
