Introducing the Definitive audio experience

We are pleased to present Definitive Technology's fantastic compact Dolby Digital-ready bipolar side or back surround-sound speaker, the BPVX. 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 side or back surrounds), making this speaker extremely versatile and easily adapted to your favorite audio arrangement. Like Definitive's center channel speakers, BPVX speakers are built to the same high construction and performance standards as Definitive's main left and right front speakers, and include features like 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 BPVX bipolar surround speakers are simply the best available. Each is a true bipolar system containing two complete full-range speaker systems, one on each side of the cabinet. Bipolar technology is absolutely superior for surround 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's perfect for all discrete 5.1 surround-sound formats including Dolby Digital and DTS, as well as the new Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Pro-Logic. They 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 or back surround speakers, BPVXs 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 BPVX speakers reproduce a huge, lifelike, exceptionally wide three-dimensional soundstage with absolutely stunning depth-of-field.

Easy to the extreme

Definitive's BPVX bipolar surrounds 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.
