Description

Continuing in the tradition of our critically acclaimed Compact Reference series, the second generation CR55, CR65,

CR75 and CR85 are compact, versatile, high performance bookshelf speakers designed to deliver accurate, natural

reproduction.

Special care has been taken to optimize the speakers’ components for maximum performance: The bass units utilize

phase plugs that conduct heat away from the voice coil, thus increasing power handling and maximizing output. The

woofer cones and surround geometry were designed and optimized with Boston’s Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

computer modeling technology, for strong bass and smooth midrange.

High frequencies in the CR75 and CR85 are handled by Boston’s exclusive 1-inch (25mm) Kortec tweeter mounted in an

innovative new wide dispersion projection tweeter baffle. This remarkable driver produces an extremely smooth, ﬂat

response well beyond the audible range. An aluminum heatsink attached to the tweeter’s backplate dissipates heat

quickly and efficiently, assuring cool, trouble-free operation—even at very high power levels.

All the drive units are designed at Boston’s Peabody, Massachusetts facility using state-of-the-art computer-design

programs, and are built on Boston’s proprietary production lines to an incredible ±1dB—perhaps the industry’s tightest

tolerance. The CR65, CR75 and CR85 feature MagnaGuard®magnetic shielding for safe placement near any sized

television set.

The drivers are positioned very closely to each other for smooth, uniform radiation in both the horizontal and vertical

planes. Within the cabinets are specially tapered braces that lock the front and rear baffles together and provide

strength and rigidity, thus minimizing cabinet resonances. The rear-mounted vent is smoothly ﬂared to reduce port

turbulence, and all speakers feature ﬁve-way binding posts, allowing wiring with virtually any cable.

Mounting options include placement on stands and shelves via the included rubber feet, ﬂat attachment to walls with

the built-in keyhole bracket and angled, offset mounting to walls via the optional CRB bracket. The logo plate can be

easily rotated in 90° increments to maintain the speaker’s appearance when placing it on its side.

How to Connect Your Speakers

Correctly wiring your speakers is important for achieving the best sound quality. Wiring should take just a few

minutes, but it’s important to do it carefully, since incorrect wiring (such as reversed connections) can result in a poor

soundstage and poor bass.

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 speak-

er wire to expose the two conductors and tightly twist the wire strands.

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock hazard, always switch off the ampliﬁer or receiver when making connections

to the speaker.

When making all connections, be sure to connect the +(red) on the speaker to the +(red) on the ampliﬁer, and the

–(black) on the speaker to the –(black) on the ampliﬁer.

IMPORTANT: Typically, one side of the wire is smooth.

Connect this side to the –(black) connection. The

other side has a rib or stripe. Connect this to the

+(red) connection.

Using the ﬁve-way binding posts: The binding posts

permit easy connection to banana plugs, spade lugs,

and bare wire.

Insert the wire in the hole and tighten.

STAND OR SHELF: Peel off the included rubber

feet from their adhesive backing and stick them on

to the four bottom corners of each speaker.

KEYHOLE BRACKET: Consult a knowledgeable

installer regarding the proper hardware to use on

your wall surface. A 1-inch (25mm) long wall anchor

is recommended for hollow walls. Regardless of the

type of wall fastener used, the screw head diameter

should be between 5⁄16 and 3⁄8-inch (8to9.5 mm) to ﬁt

properly inside the keyhole and slide down on to the

slot. When wall mounting your speakers with the

keyhole bracket, apply the rubber feet to the four

stand off pads on the rear of the speaker to prevent

any scratching or marring of the wall surface.

CRB BRACKET: This optional stand-off/swivel

bracket can be purchased from your dealer or

ordered directly from Boston Acoustics using the

included order form. The CRB attaches to the back

of the speaker using the four mounting holes located

at either side of the keyhole bracket. Instructions on

how to attach this bracket to the speaker and mount

the assembly to the wall are supplied in the CRB kit.

Basic Hookup

1. Connect the speaker terminals to the ampliﬁer speaker outputs.

2. When making all connections, be sure to connect +to +(red) and –to –(black).

Mounting Options

Your CR speakers have several convenient mounting options:

Connecting the CR Speaker to Your Ampliﬁer or Receiver

Checking the Speaker Connections

It is important that your speakers are hooked up with similar polarity or “in phase.” A simple listening test will tell

you if your speakers are connected properly. Place the speakers face to face, as closely together as possible. While

listening to music with your ampliﬁer set to MONO, reverse the connections at one speaker only. You’ll hear a

dramatic change in sound. The connection that yields the fuller bass and louder sound is correct.

How to Place Your Speakers

Most people like to hear a realistic soundstage, as they would from a good seat in a concert hall. To achieve this

effect, place the speakers 6 to 12 feet (2–4m) apart, so they form a triangle with your favorite listening position.

The speakers should be at least 2 feet (0.6m) from the corners of the room. Putting the speakers too close to a corner

can produce an unnatural bass reinforcement that detracts from their balanced, uncolored sound. If a speaker must

be placed near a corner, move it away from the wall directly behind it to preserve its natural tonal balance.

1. Remove the grille by gently pulling on the back of the top lip where it meets the front baffle. There are four

pegs on the back of the grille that will pop out of their respective sockets which are located in the baffle plate.

2. Turn the grille over and locate the two light gray plastic spring tabs at the bottom center of the grille.

3. Depress the tabs with the tips of your thumb and ﬁnger until they are ﬂush with the round surface of the

surrounding boss. You should hear a slight “click”, indicating that the tabs are now unlocked.

4. Turn the grille over and rotate the logo plate 90° in either direction to orient it to your desired position. Press

the logo plate down until you hear the same “click” sound, thus locking it in place.

NOTE: Although it is possible to rotate the logo plate in increments other than 90°, it will not lock into position

unless it is set to one of the four 90° locations.

• Depress spring tabs down with thumb to release lock

• Rotate logo plate 90°

• Note position of tabs in relation to logo orientation

Logo Rotation and Grille Removal

The logo plates on your CR speakers can be easily rotated in 90° increments to maintain the speaker’s

appearance when positioned on their sides.
