Bipolar Technology
Brings Performances
to Life in Your Home
Our 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!
The Sonic Superiority
of Definitive's Revolutionary
Bipolar SuperTower Loudspeakers
Experts agree that bipolar
speakers are absolutely superior for both music and
home theater. What is responsible for the unequaled
sonic performance of our bipolar speakers? Quite simply,
each speaker incorporates two complete sets of drivers,
one facing forward and the other facing to the rear.
Thus, our 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!

Experience the Ultimate
Performance Bipolar SuperTowers
Bring to Your Music and Movie Enjoyment
Reviewers around the world
agree that Definitive's Bipolar SuperTowers are the
most technologically advanced loudspeakers now available.
Darryl Wilkinson, Home Theater, said, “They're
fantastic.” Sound & Vision's Rich
Warren gives them, “the
highest praise any speaker system can garner.” England's Home
Cinema Choice was equally ecstatic and said, “Does
it really get any better than this? Prepare to drool!” According
to Gary Merson of HDTV Insider, the new Bipolar
SuperTowers are “A
mind-boggling sonic achievement.” Sound & Vision's
Al Griffin dubs them “Awesome
... frighteningly real” and
The Absolute Sound's Chris Marten raves, “An
overachiever of major proportions!”
The rave reviews just go
on and on. When Definitive introduced the concept of
built-in powered subwoofers, we literally reinvented
the loudspeaker. Our patented technology (U.S. Patent
#5,887,068) combines multi-driver bipolar arrays with
side-firing, high-definition, high-wattage powered
subwoofers built into beautiful, sleek designer-styled
cabinets which occupy 1.1 sq. ft. of floor space or
less. The results and benefits of this remarkable technology
are dramatic: extraordinary sonic performance beyond
anything you've ever heard. Truly a symphony of perfection
for your listening pleasure!

Why Our High-Definition
Built-In Powered Subwoofers
Always Sound Better Than Separate Subs
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 our SuperTowers,
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
our 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.
Home Theater Magazine agrees, "...
it's a concept we heartily endorse ... integrated
subwoofers
are actually better than a separate subwoofer. First
of all, you always have two of them and using two
subwoofers helps minimize the detrimental effects
of room modes, so you typically get smoother response
than you would get with a single separate sub...
Second, there is really no downside to using the
speaker cabinet for the subwoofer ... Third, and
most important, the interface between the subwoofer
and
the rest of the speaker is designed by the manufacturer
and optimized for the drivers and cabinet used in
the speaker [for] a nearly perfect blend between
the subwoofer and the rest of the speaker." The
result is a combination of delicate musicality plus
thunderous power which allows you to experience truly
awe-inspiring deep rich bass response effortlessly
extending down into the range of purely physical
subsonic energy that shakes the body and stirs the
soul.

Narrow Monocoque,
Non-Resonant, Low-Diffraction Cabinets are Important
in Maintaining Sonic Purity
The cabinet of a loudspeaker
plays a large part in its sonic performance. We are
often asked if our attractive, slim cabinets are designed
that way for styling or for performance reasons-and
the answer is, "Yes, both." 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 our 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 our 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.

Definitive's Multiple
High-Definition Die-Cast Magnesium
Basket Bass/Midrange Drivers are an Engineering Marvel
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.
Definitive's Moving-Coil
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.

Symmetrically Concentric
D'Appolito Focused Field Driver
Arrays for Improved Wave Propagation
The BP7000SC, BP7001SC,
and BP7002 incorporate four upper bass/midrange drivers
which are arrayed on the front and rear baffles in
two concentric pairs, each pair surrounding a tweeter.
The tweeter acts as though it were mounted, in effect,
right in the center of one large driver. This symmetrically
concentric (or D'Appolito) point source mounting results
in more coherent wave propagation with further improvements
in the areas of driver blending, depth retrieval, lateral
imaging and dispersion. In addition, the early arrival
soundfield is focused away from the floor and ceiling
and directly at the listener for even greater clarity.
Ultra-Precision
Differential Phase-Coherent Linkwitz-Riley
Crossovers with Zobel Networks for 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. Our 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.

Our User-Friendly
Bipolar SuperTowers Will
Sound Perfect in Your Home with Your System
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.
