Boston Acoustics just introduced three new in-ceiling loudspeakers, including the 3½ " Models HSi 430 and HSi 435 (MAP: $250) as well as the matching 6" subwoofer, Model HSi S6W2 (MAP: $500). All three are sized to match and resemble small lighting can fixtures. In addition to their small size, the speakers also feature a dramatically reduced visible bezel and magnetic grilles. The new in-ceiling models combine superior design innovation with sophisticated audio engineering for enhanced sonic realism and wide dispersion, allowing consumers to enjoy rich sound without compromising their décor.

The Boston Acoustics HSi 430 features a round bezel and the HSi 435 a square bezel. The new reduced bezel size on both models allows for a lighter, virtually invisible installation in the ceiling. Both models are 2-way configurations, with 3½ " woofers and ¾" tweeters. Each model features a metal back enclosure with front-firing ports for extended bass response, offering uncompromised sonic performance.

For flexibility in crafting rich, room-filling soundscapes, the speakers feature an innovative switchable highpass filter, which removes bass frequencies below 180Hz. When using the speakers without a subwoofer, the highpass filter may be switched off for optimum performance. However, if the speakers are being used full-range in high sound level applications, the highpass filter helps protect the speaker. For use with a dedicated subwoofer in the installation, the highpass filter may be switched on for optimum performance. Constant voltage (CV) versions of the new HSi 3½" speakers will also be available for commercial installations.
