About Definitive Technology BP 9060

A huge-sounding speaker with a compact footprint
Definitive Technology BP 9060 bipolar tower speaker surrounds you with rich, lifelike sound, thanks to a special driver configuration with both front- and rear-firing speaker arrays. Plus, it houses its own built-in powered subwoofer for intense, hard-hitting bass. Even in large rooms, every listener will experience a huge, three-dimensional soundstage with both music and movies. This speaker’s sleek, modern look and cloth grille-wrapped enclosure will make it a welcome addition to just about any space.

Bipolar speaker technology immerses you in detailed sound
sound waves
Front and rear speaker arrays work together to create enveloping sound.

Here’s how it works: direct sound from the front two midrange drivers and tweeter arrives at your ears first, to provide clear, focused imaging. That’s followed by sound from the rear mid driver and tweeter to enhance spaciousness. The combination creates a lush, seamless soundstage that’s more like the way we hear sounds in real life. And thanks to Definitive’s Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) drivers, your music and surround effects will sound clear and accurate, allowing you to pinpoint the soloist in a band or the direction of a jaguar’s call in the jungle.

Powerful bass built right in
At the base of the speaker is a 10″ side-firing subwoofer coupled to two 10″ passive radiators. This trio creates the total radiating surface of a much larger woofer, but with better bass control, speed, and detail than a single huge driver. A built-in 300-watt amplifier powers the subwoofer, delivering deep bass that eliminates the need for an external sub. And because a subwoofer is built into the cabinet, bass output is already perfectly blended with the mids and the highs. All you have to do is set the bass volume to match your room and taste, then sit back and enjoy your music and movie soundtracks.

Dolby Atmos® ready
If you’re looking for an easy way to seamlessly integrate Dolby Atmos surround sound into your home theater, the Definitive Technology BP 9060 is ready to go. Underneath this tower’s handsome, removable aluminum top plate is a built-in docking port made exclusively for Definitive’s optional A90 Atmos enabled speaker module.

Simply remove the plate, attach the A90 module to the port, and you’re ready for an intense home theater experience. The hidden integrated connector port terminates at the base of the tower with a pair of binding post speaker terminals for connection to your Dolby Atmos compatible receiver’s “Height” or “Top” outputs.

Did you know?
Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That’s because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.
