The Definitive Technology DI 5.5BPS is an in-wall bipolar speaker engineered for superior surround sound performance in home theater and multi-room audio setups. Its unique bipolar design, featuring two angled driver arrays, creates a broad and immersive soundstage, making it ideal for rear surround applications. This allows for more flexible speaker placement, even in less-than-ideal locations, while still achieving rich, room-filling sound.
Each driver array consists of a 5.25-inch BDSS™ bass/midrange woofer and a 1-inch pivoting aluminum dome tweeter, ensuring balanced highs, mids, and deep bass. With a frequency response of 28 Hz – 30,000 Hz, the DI 5.5BPS reproduces every detail of music and movie soundtracks with precision. It handles up to 225 watts of power, making it compatible with high-performance home theater systems.
Aesthetically, the speaker features Definitive Technology’s Disappearing™ Series design, including a hidden flange and ultra-slim magnetic grille that can be painted to match any wall. Installation is straightforward, and an optional rough-in bracket (sold separately) is available for new construction setups.
Designed to complement Definitive Technology’s Mythos and Bipolar speaker lines, the DI 5.5BPS ensures seamless integration into an existing audio system. Whether used as part of a surround setup or a distributed audio system, this speaker delivers breathtaking sound with a virtually invisible appearance.
