Definitive's C/L/R and BPX Speakers
Complete Your Ultimate Home Theater

Experts agree that Definitive's award-winning Bipolar Home Theater is the finest available. Its dramatic sonic superiority is the reason it was selected by experts in Stereo Review for their home theater "Dream System" and chosen by professionals like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation for the reference in their executive screening room.

Bipolar technology goes beyond putting you in the movie theater and actually puts you in the movie. It provides a realism of sonic reproduction which is unobtainable from any conventional loudspeakers regardless of price. As Video Magazine said, "you literally feel like you're part of the movie." Simply combine a pair of our bipolar front main speakers with one of our precisely tonally matched shielded center channels and a pair of our bipolar rear/side surround speakers (or another pair of towers for even higher performance) plus one or two PowerField® subwoofers for the ultimate in home thater performance: The Definitive Bipolar Home Theater System. (All our speakers are precisely timbre-matched to each other so any combination will blend together perfectly.)

Video Magazine says that "Bipolar systems are as close as we've come to finding The Holy Grail of home theater." They call Definitive's Bipolar Home Theater System "the most complete well-rounded audio/video speaker system we've heard" and say "it achieves a perfect balance between price and performance." Video concludes that Definitive's complete Bipolar Home Theater "does a brilliant job of reproducing both Dolby Surround movie soundtracks and musical performances" and is "a perfect fit for the vast majority of home theater listeners."

The C/L/R 2000 and 2002 Ultimate Center Channel Speakers

The C/L/R 2000 and 2002 are true full frequency range capable, full dynamic range capable, magnetically shielded center channel systems (three C/L/Rs can also be used as matching center, left, and right speakers). They feature high power-handling capacity with response extending below 30 Hz to beyond 30 kHz. Each incorporates two high-definition bass/midrange drivers and a 25 mm pure aluminum dome tweeter. Their Linkwitz-Riley crossover have facilities to allow biwiring if desired. The non-resonant cabinets can be positioned either vertically or horizontally and also feature unitized monocoque construction with wrap-around grill sock and gloss black end panels. They have extraordinary detail, focus and articulation, with perfect timbre-matching to the sonic signature of the BP2000s and 2002s. They are completely Dolby Digital AC-3* ready.

The BPX Full-Range Bipolar Surround Speakers

The new BPX full-range bipolar surround speakers can be located on either the sides or rear of the room (or for even better performance, a pair on both the sides and the rear) and offer extraordinary sonic performance and dynamic range in an attractive compact on-wall, shelf or stand mountable system. Each speaker incorporates a front and rear dual D'Appolito array (two 14 cm cast basket drivers and a 25 mm aluminum dome tweeter both front and rear) for a total of six drivers in each enclosure. Exceptional power handling (350 watts each) combines with dynamic 35-30kHz frequency response for the highest performance ever in a compact surround speaker. The front and rear baffles are angled for greater dispersion and superior wave propagation, while our bipolar technology achieves the unique combination of sourceless, totally immersing ambience combined with the focus and localization necessary for proper Dolby Digital AC-3* and Pro Logic* reproduction. Synergistically combining the strengths of direct radiating and dipolar systems, bipolar technology is ideal for both surround and main speakers and offers superior reproduction of both stereophonic and all home theater decoding technologies including Dolby Digital AC-3* and Pro Logic*. Video Magazine describes it well: "They make all the difference in the world...you feel like you're part of the movie." Sound & Image completely agrees: "...all of a sudden the walls of my living room melted away; strange birds called in the distance, and something large was sluggishly making its way through the underbrush." The compact, designer-styled, architecturally formatted 17 1/2" H x 10" W x 6 1/2" D monocoque cabinet has a ""rap-around white or black grill sock with a choice of matching matte white or gloss black endcaps.

The C/L/R 1000B Professional Audio/Video Shielded Center/Left/Right Monitor Loudspeaker System

The Definitive Technology C/L/R 1000B (Center/Left/Right) Professional Audio/Video Shielded Monitor System is more than just one of the world's finest center channel loudspeaker. It was developed in response to the demand for a high power, high accuracy monitor system for use in professional dubbing stage installations as well as perfectionist home theater systems, where the installation necessitates a forward radiating compact shelf, cabinet or wall mountable speaker system. In addition, the C/L/R 1000B is a superb magnetically shielded center channel loudspeaker offering the highest quality performance available on the market. The C/L/R's excellence was honored by its winning of the prestigious Audio Video Magazine Grand Prix Product of the Year Award for center channel loudspeakers.

The attractive matte black cabinet of the C/L/R 1000B may be positioned either horizontally or vertically for ease of placement in your system. The driver complement includes two magnetically shielded 17 cm magnesium cast basket bass/midrange drivers with mineral filled homopolymer cones and butyl rubber surrounds and dust caps. This combination of features assures high definition, high power handling, lifelike midrange clarity and extended bass response. The 25 mm fluid cooled and damped soft dome moving coil tweeter provides smooth, extended frequency response with vanishingly low distortion to give maximum intelligibility to voices and subtle perfection to music.

The C/L/R 1000B also features a sophisticated Linkwitz-Riley crossover network to seamlessly blend the output of the woofers and tweeter. The drivers are arranged in a symmetrically concentric (D'Appolito) array which positions the two high definition bass-midrange drivers on either side of the tweeter for virtual point source imaging with markedly superior driver blending, improved depth retrieval, remarkable three-dimensional imaging, unexcelled flat power radiation, superb dispersion and lifelike sound throughout your room.

The C/L/R 1000B has been engineered and "voiced" to perfectly timber match all Definitive Technology loudspeakers. In addition, its low distortion and linear frequency response make the C/L/R 1000B the ideal choice to match and blend well with other very high quality speaker systems.
