Boston Acoustics RS 223 Manuel D’Utilisation

Modern elegance.
Legendary performance.

In an elegant fusion of technology, performance, 

and stylish good looks, our new Reflection Series speakers 

deliver clean, balanced sound worthy of our thirty year 

heritage. While performance is the monarch of this line’s 

feature set, its cutting-edge drivers and well-designed 

crossovers are enclosed in an ultra scratch-resistant high 

gloss finish that will endure years of play. That means these 

speakers will make themselves at home in any environment 

from living room to home theater. And after three decades of 

perfecting the Boston Sound, you can be sure these speakers 

will sound every bit as good as they look.

Attention to detail

 

Meticulously designed and solidly crafted, the most 

discriminating enthusiasts will revel in the small details. 

Each Reflection Series speaker comes cleverly appointed 

with magnetic grilles and stylish contours for an uncluttered 

modern appeal—but don’t be fooled, the 1,000 watt 

powered subwoofer is both beauty and beast, 

delivering wave after wave of heart-pounding bass 

under its elegant exterior.

Advanced cabinet design
and driver configuration

While each speaker baffle features a smooth surface and invisible 

hardware, the real secret behind Reflection’s Super Linear Plane (SLP) 

Baffles is their unique ability to nearly eliminate acoustic diffraction. 

Super-shallow grilles using an invisible magnetic attachment create an 

almost entirely seamless alignment with the 

baffle plane to significantly reduce sonic barriers. 

The resulting sound is equally pristine with 

the grilles on or off. Coupled with Reflection’s 

tightly spaced driver placement, each speaker 

delivers near-point-source sonic coherence, 

wide dispersion, and astonishing imaging.

Multi-composite woofer cones

All Reflection models incorporate our new Fiber Ceramic 

Copolymer Material (FCCM) Woofer cones made from a 

composite of fiber and ceramic materials and impregnated in a 

proprietary copolymer. By combining these 

multi-composite cones with Boston’s 

Deep Channel

®

 Design, these woofers 

produce a smooth response over the 

entire operating range. That means 

you get all the thunder of high-output 

bass and all the subtleties and detail of 

the midrange—with minimal distortion. 

Smart tweeter technology

While looks do impress, one of Reflection Series’ unique features is

actually “under the hood.” Our new EWB (Extended Wide Bandwidth) 

tweeter borrows the same performance attributes found in our

flagship VS line—stabilized linear motion, lower distortion, improved 

dispersion, power handling, and clarity. This was accomplished

by special central diaphragm termination (creating a dimple)

and rear chamber venting.
