Definitive Technology AW5500BK Outdoor Speakers in Black (Sold As Each)

Now you can enjoy the incomparable sound of Definitive Technology anywhere around your home with the groundbreaking new AW5500 All-Weather loudspeakers. These technology-packed wonders feature high excursion active drivers pressure-coupled to racetrack-shaped Low-Bass Radiators to give you more than double the bass output while maintaining a weather-tight seal for ultimate placement flexibility, reliability, and performance. With their fully sealed design, aluminum grilles, and rugged PolyStone enclosures, the AWs can be fully exposed to the elements and still reliably deliver their indoor speaker sound quality for years of outdoor listening enjoyment. Their integrated galvanized steel brackets and unique shape allow a full 360 degrees of rotation allowing the listener to orient the active drivers toward the listening area. Pointing the active driver baffle towards the listener while the Low-Bass Radiator side faces the wall or ground gives you the ideal balance of clear mids, extended highs, and thunderous bass even in the tough acoustic conditions of the great outdoors.

Features

  • Fill the Outdoors with Expansive Audio
    • Weatherproof
      Our watertight design protects your speaker from the elements.
    • Expansive Sound
      5.5” woofer and bass radiator deliver deep, impactful audio throughout your outdoor spaces.
    • Flexible Placement
      Galvanized steel mounting brackets for flexible installations.
  • As Clear as the Big, Blue Sky
    • Passive Bass Radiators for Double the Bass Output
      The AW5500's 5 x 8" bass radiator, pressure- coupled with the active BDSS mid/bass drivers, pumps out bass rivaling an 8" woofer in less space. You can fill the outdoors with rich, full-frequency audio even at low volume.
    • Tweeters for Clean, Crisp Highs
      The AW5500 Aluminum Dome Tweeters feature ultralight, rigid construction that enables them to play significantly higher frequencies than we can hear, providing effortless, distortion-free performance within and beyond the audible range.
    • BDSS Woofers for Accurate Midrange, Dynamic Bass
      The AW5500's midrange/bass woofers feature the innovative Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS), the same driver technology found in our top indoor speakers. BDSS improves driver excursion, delivering output usually associated with a larger driver, while retaining a smaller drive's improved dispersion and midrange definition.
    • Integrated Waveguide for a smooth response
      The cone's integrated waveguide smooths off-axis response <span>for broad, even dispersion and better imaging throughout your space.</span>
    • Mineral-filled Polymer Cone for full-yard extension
      The AW5500 features a deeply drawn mineral-filled polymer cone, engineered using sophisticated 3D modeling techniques, for wide range performance.
  • Ready to Play come rain or come shine
    The All-Weather Series can withstand rain, snow, and temperature extremes that drive us mortals indoors. With Definitive Technology’s proprietary weather seal defending the subwoofers, tweeters, and passive radiators, it’s no wonder these loudspeakers boast a class-leading 5-Year Warranty.
  • Tough PolyStone™ Exterior for durability and longevity
    Definitive Technology’s exclusive, rugged PolyStone™ enclosure can take all that nature can muster. The black finish is highly fade-resistant, and the white finish is both fade-resistant and paintable. For accurate outdoor audio, PolyStone enclosures, coupled with mesh aluminum grilles, provide an acoustically neutral, anti-resonant home for the tweeter, subwoofer, and passive radiator. They’ll last for many years, and never stop sounding great.
