About Definitive Technology SR 9040

Bipolar design for dramatic wraparound sound
Definitive Technology SR-9040 surround speakers will instantly immerse you in every high-speed car chase, high-impact explosion, and bruising brawl that Hollywood blockbuster movies can deliver. Using left- and right-firing driver arrays that radiate full-range sound in an omni-directional pattern, the Definitive Technology SR 9040 provide an enveloping listening experience that goes beyond ordinary surround speakers.

High-tech drivers for exceptionally detailed sound
Each driver array in the Definitive Technology SR 9040 has a 3-1/2″ midrange paired with a 1″ dome tweeter, for perfectly blended highs and mids. This bipolar design creates a big, immersive soundfield. Each aluminum dome tweeter is heat-treated to relax the crystal structure of the metal, then attached to a silk surround to help produce smooth, sparkling highs that reveal delicate, low-level ambient details in soundtracks. And thanks to Definitive’s Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) driver design, your movie special effects and multichannel music will sound clear and detailed. These mid/woofers disperse the sound over a wide area in your room so that even viewers sitting off-axis hear engaging surround sound.

Versatile placement options
Definitive’s bipolar surrounds aren’t fussy about placement — they shine in a variety of room sizes and shapes. A pair of Definitive Technology SR 9040 works well on your side walls for 5-channel systems, or on the side and rear walls for a 7-channel system. Each speaker has a keyhole slot for on-wall installations. You can also place this speaker on a shelf or stand and get great results.

Build a complete Definitive home theater system using perfectly matched bipole towers (see the BP-9020, BP-9040, BP-9060, and BP-9080X) and center channel speakers (see the CS-9040, CS-9060, and CS-9080).

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.
