Describe product's design and/or technical innovation - Definitive Technology’s BP9080X is a stunning home theater tower speaker that stands at nearly 4.5-feet tall, featuring premium materials, meticulous modern design and ultra-precise reproduction that makes the surrounding room seemingly disappear. A fourth-generation, two-channel floor-standing speaker, the BP9080X pays homage to Definitive Technology’s lineage of award-winning bipolar speakers while boasting a completely reimagined design. Supporting the latest Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X™ compatibility, the BP9080X is the first speaker to truly integrate advanced audio reproduction technologies in a single tower speaker, eliminating the need for separate home theater components and fulfilling the audiophile niche. Each edge, finish and detail of the BP9080X serves a thoughtfully functional purpose, leaving no stone unturned.
Definitive Technology’s team of designers and engineers machined the BP9080X to sit tall yet slender in the home theater. With a minimalist and elegant approach, the BP9080X’s acoustically transparent 360-degree grille wraps a totally inert, resonance-free one-piece cabinet construction, featuring front and rear-facing drivers and tweeters, a side firing 12-inch powered subwoofer, and dual bass radiators all working together to produce the incredibly powerful sound that projects from each tower. Alongside the interior cabinet are two aluminum dome tweeters that produce crystal clear highs.
Atop the BP9080X is an even more unique fully-integrated two-way height module that houses Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding technology to fire sound upward and bounce it off ceilings for 3-dimensional home theater effects that truly immerses the listener in the action. As an added bonus, the BP9080X’s smaller siblings – the BP9060, BP9040 and BP9020 – which don’t come standard with a two-way height module, feature a height module connector port disguised with an aluminum plate so users may add the A90 height speaker at any time, giving each of the smaller towers the same enveloping surround sound capabilities as the flagship BP9080X.
What sets your product apart from others? - The BP9080X features several technologies and design elements that set it apart from competitors in the space. Technologically speaking, the BP9080X’s integrated A90 height speaker module stands out, giving users the ability to leverage advanced Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 360-degree surround sound technology, adding a whole new dimension to surround audio. Additionally, new proprietary Intelligent Bass Control™ allows users to modulate deep bass up or down while simultaneously maintaining precise mid-range tonal balance. The BP9080X also features three 5.25-inch mid-range drivers with patented Balanced Double Surround Sound technology, which improves driver excursion. The result is a driver that produces bass output normally associated with a larger driver, while retaining the improved dispersion and midrange definition of a smaller driver for perfectly balanced sound. In essence, the BP9080X produces substantial and multi-dimensional sound without taking up a lot of space in the home theater.
The BP9080X tower speakers also boast drivers firing from five sides, producing sound that’s bigger, more spacious and provides a more verbose sonic fingerprint than the competition.
In regards to design, the BP9080X’s cast and post machined clear anodized aluminum base is engineered to provide stability while isolating any vibration caused by the tower speaker’s booming integrated subwoofers, creating cleaner, richer bass without distorting the crisp highs. Along with the base is the choice of using precision-cut diamond-shaped spike to sink deep into any carpet flooring, or flattened felt feet for hardwood. Additionally, the iconic Definitive Technology “D” logo is backlit and a physical indicator that the speaker is producing its own amplification signal, eliminating concern that a speaker may or may not be functioning or properly connected. While minute, these details improve overall speaker performance and are a testament to Definitive Technology’s meticulous design ethos.
What benefits does your product provide? - The BP9080X offers users an unparalleled immersive listening experience, leveraging the capabilities of several integrated technology and design features that create a massive sound stage to envelope an entire room with rich, detailed audio. In particular, the BP9080X tower speakers boast:
- Integrated Subwoofers—a side-firing 12-inch powered subwoofer and dual bass radiators work together to produce powerful sound. Additionally, proprietary Intelligent Bass Control allows users to modulate deep bass up or down while maintaining mid-range tonal balance.
-Dolby Atmos Height Module—to truly leverage Dolby Atmos’ three dimensional audio experiences, the BP9080X integrates an A90 height module, firing sound upward to engulf the listener.
-Bipolar Design—normal tower speakers feature front-firing speakers, which send sound forward. The BP9080X speakers fire from five sides, the front, sides, top and rear, producing a gigantic sound stage and hyper realism.
-Out of Box Experience—with conveniently designed packaging and minimal wiring configuration, users simply open the box from the bottom up, accessing the accompanying accessories kit first to attach the aluminum base and preferred feet. Once installed, the speaker’s box can then be tipped over and slipped off while placed in its preferred setup in the home theater.
