HiWave's BMR speaker drivers adopted by Boston Acoustics to
create its M Series of premium quality performance loudspeakers
High-end speaker series includes seven models priced to $2500
per pair
Cambridge, UK, November 9(th) 2012: HiWave
Technologies(LSE:HIW), a provider of innovative audio amplifier
ICs, full frequency range speaker drivers and next generation
haptic touch devices, has announced its Balanced Mode Radiator
(BMR) speaker drivers are being used by Boston Acoustics, a
world-renowned manufacturer of innovative audio solutions and high
performance loudspeakers, in its latest family of premium quality
loudspeakers, the M Series.
Launched in September 2012, the Boston Acoustics M Series
consists of seven units; three floor-standing speakers, a two-way
bookshelf model, a centre channel speaker, a satellite speaker and
a powerful subwoofer. One of the keys to the enhanced performance
and wide sonic dispersion of the M Series is the innovative
Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR),reported to be a favourite speaker
technology of Ken Ishiwata, a brand ambassador for Boston
Acoustics. Ishiwata is one of the most influential people in the
high-end audio industry and a crucial figure in the development of
the CD. The BMR is utilised in the MSurround and the MCenter
products in the Boston M Series family.
Rainer Finck, head of Boston Acoustics' European operations
said: "The advantages of BMRs are twofold: they have much wider and
regular dispersion characteristics; and they shift the crossover
frequency all the way down to 400Hz so give a better voice quality.
This is essential for modern soundtracks, which have more
information on the surround tracks than was previously used."
James Lewis, CEO of HiWave said: "HiWave's range of BMRs are
being adopted in a wide range of quality -audio systems and Boston
is a testament to the audio quality delivered by these speaker
drivers."
HiWave's balanced-mode radiators have an extended frequency
response and wide directivity compared with conventional drive
units. They combine the benefits of HiWave's bending-wave
technology and pistonic modes of operation and are ideally suited
for compact audio applications that require a full-range, high
performance acoustic solution.
