Neodymium magnet

The compact size of the magnet allows SL speakers to be installed where others can't.
It offers an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio: approximately 10x more magnetic
strength than a conventional iron-ferrite magnet of equal size.
TwinStage heat sink
™
Two separate aluminum heat sinks improve power handling and reliability.
The first heat sink is located inside the voice coil; the second surrounds the
main woofer magnet assembly.

Type-S1 Kortec tweeter
®
The Type-S1's 1-inch dome is extremely lightweight and ultra
strong, for excellent transient response and low distortion.
Contoured tweeter plane
Asymmetrical tweeter plane provides more natural off-axis response.
(SL95 and SL65)
Dual tweeters
Smoother frequency response and higher output compared to conventional
3-way designs. (SL95)

Separable and dockable crossovers

Installation is more flexible, thanks to patent-pending highpass and lowpass
crossover sections that can be separated. Crossovers can be connected for single
or dual input, or daisy-chained for custom applications. (SL60)

System-specific crossovers

With both dynamic and solid state tweeter protection.
Quick-fit mounting cup
One-step connecting tweeter cup simplifies installation. Place the
tweeter in the quick-fit cup and a simple rotation makes all connections
and secures the tweeter into the cup.
Tweeter security tabs
Tabs on the tweeter grille prevent the tweeter from being taken out
unless the grille is removed.
VariMount
™
Boston SL comes with several mounting adapters, making it possible to drop
the speakers into the most common factory locations. Both 160mm and 165mm
adapters and a ⁄ -inch spacer are included. (SL60 and SL65)
