The Definitive Audio Experience

We are pleased to present Definitive Technology's compact Dolby Digital-ready bipolar rear/side surround speakers, the BPVXP surround-sound speaker. This stylish, attractive, and powerful speaker is intended for on-wall, shelf, or stand mounting (you can also use any of Definitive's bipolar towers for rear/side surrounds), making this speaker extremely versatile and easily adapted to your favorite audio arrangement. Like Definitive's center channels, the BPVXP speakers are built to the same high construction and performance standards as Definitive's main left and right front speakers and include features like built-in powered subwoofers, high-definition bass/midrange drivers with butyl rubber surrounds, wide-dispersion pure aluminum dome tweeters with magnetic cooling fluid, complex Linkwitz-Riley crossover networks, and solid monocoque cabinets with diffractionless grill/baffle interfaces.

The Bipolar Advantage

Definitives's BPVXP bipolar surround speaker is simply the best available. Each is a true bipolar system containing two complete, opposite-facing, full-range speaker systems, one on each side of the cabinet. Bipolar technology is absolutely superior for surround-sound speakers because it synergistically combines the performance advantages of direct-radiating (imaging, focus, localization, and specificity) and dipolar speakers (spacious, sourceless, all-enveloping ambience) into one ideal system that is perfect for all discrete 5.1 formats including Dolby Digital and DTS, as well as the new Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Pro-Logic. BPVXPs are full-range, extremely linear, low-distortion speakers that are timbre-matched to blend perfectly with all Definitive's speakers, as well as other high-quality speaker systems.

Full Range of Applications

In addition to their use as side/rear surround speakers, the BPVXP speakers are ideal for use as front effects speakers. Also, because Definitive's bipolar surround speakers are engineered as true high-quality speaker systems, they are perfect for use as left and right front speakers with or without a subwoofer. Like Definitive's bipolar towers, the BPVXP speakers reproduce a huge, lifelike, exceptionally wide three-dimensional soundstage with absolutely stunning depth-of-field.

Easy to The Extreme

Definitive's BPVXP bipolar surround-sound speakers are designed for easy and unobtrusive placement in your room. Easy-to-use mounting plates are included for wall mounting if desired. Positioning is extremely non-critical; unlike dipolar surrounds, which are limited by their specific sidewall placement requirements, Definitive's bipolars may be located on the sides or rear of the room (or both as in Dolby Digital EX installations), or on the ceiling. They may be mounted on the rear wall (with their front drivers shooting towards each other and their rear drivers shooting toward the side walls) with excellent results.

Revolutionary!

Definitive's top-of-the line BPVXP is an extraordinary bipolar surround speaker that includes two built-in, powered (125 watt) subwoofers, allowing you to fully experience all the dynamics and full range excitement present in the rear channels of Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Digital EX program materials. These full-range digital technologies are now used for both music and movies, and enable the director to send the lowest bass frequencies into the rear/surround channels. It can be a true revelation when you hear this program material properly reproduced with the full-range information in the rear, as the director intended.
