An amazing experience

The engineering team responsible for the new BP7001SC is especially proud of their work on this second landmark member of the 7000 Series. It was designed to make many of the performance breakthroughs spearheaded by the BP7000SC available to a broad range of enthusiasts. In fact, considering its smaller size and lower price, the BP7001SC is in some ways almost as impressive as the BP7000SC. It combines a bipolar array similar to that used in the BP7000SC with what is basically a built-in SuperCube® I (10" SuperCube® technology sub driver, two 10" infrasonic radiators, and a 1500-watt class D amp) in each stylish sleek cabinet. The sonic performance of the BP7001SC is actually dramatically superior to the former flagship system, the BP3000TL, which makes it a tremendous value as well as an outstanding performer. It also features the new signature styling.

Hearing is believing

Definitive Technology's total commitment to uncompromised sonic superiority has made them the leader in high-performance loudspeakers. They have been voted the industry's top loudspeaker manufacturer as well as number 1 for quality and reliability in nationwide dealer surveys. It is our pleasure to present one of their premier world-class top-of-the-line speakers: the BP7001. This bipolar SuperTower loudspeaker is like no other in the world. Top reviewers have hailed the SuperTower line as "a true revelation" and compare their astounding sonic performance with speakers selling for ten times their price and higher. You simply must hear them for yourself.

Audio of unequaled purity

Definitive's bipolar loudspeakers are superior to any conventional loudspeaker regardless of size or price. Both movies and music are reproduced with unequaled purity, transparency and lifelike realism. These elegant, slender towers seem to disappear in a huge natural soundstage which extends in a three-dimensional arc beyond the speakers with front to back depth which can be almost magical in its ability to recreate the illusion of live music or cinematic action actually being performed in your room. This combination of high resolution, magnificent soundstaging, awesome bass and explosive impact literally envelops you in what is absolutely the ultimate listening experience. This is the miracle of bipolar technology.

Sonic superiority

Experts agree that bipolar speakers are absolutely superior for both music and home theater. What is responsible for the unequaled sonic performance of Definitive's bipolar speakers? Quite simply, each speaker incorporates two complete sets of drivers, one facing forward and the other facing to the rear. Thus, their bipolar speakers radiate the full sonic spectrum both forward and rearward in an omnidirectional pattern, exactly as sound is produced in real life. The sonic benefits you hear are dramatic! This unique technology provides you with a lifelike balance of early-arrival sound information, which provides focus, clarity and location data, and properly delayed late-arrival information, which conveys the lush three-dimensional soundstage of a live music or cinematic performance. This combination creates a huge soundfield which is rich, warm, ultra clear and vibrantly alive. In addition, the special driver topology, as well as their wide dispersion, assures a superb panorama of lifelike sound for every listener in your room wherever they sit or stand. Most importantly, however, Definitive's bipolar speakers make the walls of your room seem to disappear and, in effect, expand the size of your room into the soundspace of the live event your system is reproducing. They will literally bring your music and movies to life in your home. One listen and you can never go back to conventional speakers again!

Sounding better and better

The sonic advantages of a powered subwoofer for music and movies are many, including greatly extended low-frequency response, expanded dynamic range, heightened impact, improved clarity and the almost magical ability to "suspend disbelief" which is the hallmark of great sound. Definitive invented built-in powered subwoofers to create better sounding speakers and systems which do a better job of reproducing music and movies plus have the greater bass impact of dual subs. With their SuperTowers (including the BP7000), you get all the benefits of bipolar technology plus sonic performance dramatically superior to that which is possible when you use separate powered subwoofers (even two of them). And, there's no need for the clutter of extra sub boxes or wires. Definitive Bipolar SuperTowers are more than just a speaker and a subwoofer. They are true full-range systems with the sub-bass capability which ideally every speaker in your system should have. Building subs into the sleek bipolar towers allows their engineers to perfectly blend the subs to the rest of the system, which is virtually impossible to achieve in your home with separate subwoofers due to all the positioning and adjustment variabilities involved. The result is clearly superior sound quality and dramatic performance benefits both for music and movies. You have the advantage of two powered subwoofers, plus the absolute sonic superiority and total harmonic integrity which only true full-range speakers can give you. Sonic benefits include improved detail, ultra-coherent blending, richer, smoother response throughout the room and greater impact. This is very important for music, Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby EX program material. Dolby Digital was created for full-range frequency response in every channel and anything less, especially up front, is a clearly audible compromise of its performance potential. Definitive's built-in powered subs deliver Dolby Digital's full potential.

Maintaining sonic purity

The cabinet of a loudspeaker plays a large part in its sonic performance. Narrow cabinets dramatically improve three-dimensional imaging. In addition, diffraction, or the secondary radiation of sound caused by cabinet edges, grill frames, and other protrusions, can color the sound of a loudspeaker and impart a boxy coloration. The design of Definitive's bipolar SuperTowers reduces diffraction to an absolute minimum by flush mounting drivers on extremely narrow baffles with radiused edges, which are covered by a frameless grill "sock." The cabinets are also mirror-imaged for more precise soundstaging. The resonant vibration of a loudspeaker's cabinet walls and baffles can also impart coloration. The tri-chambered monocoque cabinets of all the SuperTowers are constructed of extremely thick, dense medite with foam dampening pads and extensive internal bracing. This virtually eliminates cabinet coloration which could otherwise interfere with the pure sound produced by Definitive's high-definition drivers.

Engineering marvels

All the bipolar SuperTowers utilize multiple arrays of Definitive-developed magnetically shielded high-definition cast-basket bass/midrange drivers for significant performance advantages in the areas of upper bass reproduction, lifelike midrange clarity and dynamic range. These sophisticated drivers are engineering marvels which incorporate deeply drawn mineral-filled homopolymer cones, combined with butyl rubber dustcaps and surrounds, high temperature vented voice coils and massive magnet structures. This combination of features assures high definition, superb transient response, high-efficiency, high power handling, and extended linear response. In addition, the aerodynamically designed, magnetically inert, non-resonant, cast-magnesium baskets minimize reflections of the sound radiating from the back of the cones and preserve structural and magnetic integrity.

Pure aluminum dome tweeters

The accuracy of high frequency reproduction really sets apart a great loudspeaker. The magnetic fluid-cooled moving-coil pure aluminum dome tweeters Definitive developed for the bipolar SuperTowers are of a unique design that synergistically brings together the performance advantages of metal domes (greater clarity) and soft domes (smoother sound and better dampening) in one state-of-the-art tweeter design. The pure aluminum dome is specially annealed (to "relax" the crystal structure) and acoustically loaded by a precisely configured acoustic phase plug/lens (to assure perfectly controlled, absolutely linear movement). In addition, the unique silk surround provides better dampening and wave termination. The audible benefits of all this highly advanced engineering include velvety smooth extended high frequency response (beyond 30 kHz), greatly reduced distortion, improved transient response, notably higher definition and crystal clear life-like clarity.

Perfect driver blending

The crossover network of a loudspeaker is the real heart of the system. It is like the conductor of an orchestra, telling each driver exactly when to come in and precisely how loudly to play. Here Definitive's talented engineers really work their magic, perfectly blending the sound of the various drivers into a sonically seamless, musically and cinematically coherent whole. Their complex and sophisticated Linkwitz-Riley designs, which utilize the finest components, are masterpieces of electrical engineering. They are differential crossovers which equalize the front and rear drivers separately for both linear frequency and phase response of their summed output. Also included are advanced technology Zobel Networks which provide a more stable load for your amplifier. This makes the speaker easier to drive, which results in smooth, more natural sound. In addition, the electronic crossovers in the subwoofer modules work together with the Linkwitz-Riley networks to perfectly blend the subwoofers with the bipolar arrays. The result is a symphony of sonic perfection that completely preserves the phase coherence, transient response and dynamic integrity of the original signal.

Perfect sound in your home

Definitive SuperTowers are easy to hook up to your system, simple to place, and flexible in terms of room positioning. They are engineered to be located as close as 4" or as far from the wall as you would like. The mirror-imaged side-mounted subwoofers can face either toward or away from each other for even greater flexibility and room tuning ability. The bipolar SuperTowers are very efficient which allows them to be used with virtually any receiver or amplifier and are of such high quality that they allow you to appreciate all the subtle excellence of the world's finest electronics. Since the subwoofers are powered, the speakers are that much easier to drive. You can hook them up and achieve exceptional performance as simply as running one set of speaker wires from your amplifier or receiver. All speakers have facilities to separately input a low (line) level Dolby Digital LFE signal if desired. And for ultimate performance, you can bi-wire the mid- and high-frequency section of BP7000SC or BP7001SC input. Finally, you can separately adjust the powered subwoofers to compensate for room acoustics and speaker placement as well as to achieve your personal sonic preferences.
