Product Description
Definitive Technology DI 5.5R Recessed Ceiling Speaker 5.5” White
Want great sound everywhere in your home but don't have the space? Recessed ceiling speakers are the answer. With its small diameter, hidden flange design and discreet profile grille, the DI 5.5R is almost invisible on your ceilings or walls. This size dynamo boldly places itself where other speakers cannot, while producing a full, accurate sound experience that belies its size.
EQ for high levels in every room. Adjust the EQ switch to adjust the tweeter output for your listening environment. Enable the setting to increase treble in sound-absorbing rooms or the setting to decrease treble respectively. Leave in the Center position for rooms with medium reflectivity.
Rotating Tweeter for controlled directivity. The extremely lightweight, rigid construction of the DI Series aluminum dome tweeters allows them to play significantly higher frequencies than we hear, allowing for optimal linearity within the range of human hearing. The DI 6.5R features a rotating tweeter for high clarity, distortion-free, dispersion that can be adjusted to your venue.
Exclusive BDSS™ midrange/bass woofer. For more bass in less space while keeping the midrange detailed and responsive, the DI 5.5R's 5.5-inch midrange/bass woofer utilizes exclusive Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) technology. Double butyl jacketed rubber produces a much larger offset with cones than other similarly sized drivers. And the DI 5.5R's rigid PolyStone chassis provides powerful displacement.
With ceiling speakers, listeners are almost always "off-axis". You rarely sit directly under a ceiling speaker. Usually the speaker has an angle of 30, 45 or even 60 degrees to the listener. We've designed the DI Series speakers to spread the sound over a very wide area so that the sound is balanced and natural no matter where you are. BDSS technology drivers, targeted tweeters as well as the special AeroRing™ around the driver contribute to the wide dispersion range and superior coverage ability.
Paintable magnetic grill. All DI Series speaker grilles and bezels are painted, with easy step-by-step instructions. Once you've got the perfect look, powerful neodymium magnets attach the grills to the speakers for a secure, tool-free finish.
Audio magic for the details that make the difference. The DI 5.5R features a sophisticated adjustable crossover network with high-precision custom components for superior sonic clarity.
Surrounding the BDSS driver is a specially shaped AeroRing™ that precisely distributes natural, well-balanced sound while minimizing diffraction.
The axially aligned configuration of the tweeter and woofer provides wider sound dispersion and a more natural balance.
