About The Definitive Technology Dymension AW-550 Outdoor Speakers
The Dymension AW-550 all-weather surface-mount speaker fills medium-sized outdoor spaces with clear, dynamic sound while blending into its environment, and withstands even the harshest conditions. Timbre matching ensures seamless integration with Definitive Technology Dymension speakers in and outside of the home.
Impactful Sound for Medium-Sized Outdoor Spaces: The AW-550 delivers powerful, dynamic sound, courtesy of its mineral filled woofer, premium aluminium oxide dome tweeter, and built-in passive bass radiator.
All-Weather Protection: Ruggedly durable with a rigid, mineral-filled enclosure, the IP66-rated AW-550 withstands even the harshest conditions.
Perfect Pairings for Seamless Sound: Combine the AW-550 with Dymension Outdoor's wide range of timbre-matched speakers for cohesive sound in any configuration.
Aluminium Oxide Dome Tweeter for Smooth, Extended Highs: A rigid, well-damped 1" Dymension Series aluminium oxide dome tweeter delivers crisp, clear sound anywhere, for lifelike sound with uncompromised clarity and imaging.
Mineral-Filled Mid/Bass Drivers for Detailed Mids: A 5.25" (133mm) mineral filled Mid/Bass Driver reproduces rich, clear and dynamic sound that fills medium-sized outdoor spaces. Whether it's impactful bass lines or vocal nuances, experience every detail in stunning fidelity, making your outdoor listening experience extraordinary.
Passive Bass Radiator for Effortless, Distortion-Free Lows: The AW-550's large passive bass radiator seamlessly moves air movement inside the speaker to enhance low-end response, for powerful and dynamic, balanced overall sound.
IP66-Rated All-Weather Protection for Rugged Reliability: Engineered for durability, the AW-550 withstands rain, snow, and dirt to deliver premium sound in any weather.
Adjustable Surface-Mount Brackets: The AW-550's included surface-mount bracket allows you to adjust the speaker up to 60 degrees to place it in the most optimal position for outdoor listening.
Rugged, Durable Enclosures: The Dymension Outdoor series features rigid, acoustically inert mineral-filled enclosures for protection against the elements. With an IP66 rating, the AW-550 is built for any weather.
Timbre-Matching: Enjoy seamless sound across your setup with timbre-matched Dymension speakers for indoor, outdoor, or transitional spaces. Combine speakers for a consistent and immersive listening experience.
Available Colours: The Definitive Technology AW-550 comes in either a Black or White (paintable) finish.
Binding Post Connections: The AW-550 is equipped with a pair of 5-way binding posts to attach the speaker wire coming from your amplifier.
Placement: Position the AW-550 loudspeaker as close as possible to the area where you will be listening to it. 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 low-end bass even in the tough acoustic conditions of the outdoors. The AW-550 has a very wide dispersion pattern; however, if you are trying to cover a very large area, you will be better off using multiple pairs of AW-550 speakers in order to achieve an even distribution of sound. With multiple pairs you will avoid having areas where the sound is too loud and others where the sound is not loud enough. One pair of AW series loudspeakers will cover approximately 20-40 square metres of listening area at moderately loud levels. Try to point the speaker directly at the listening area.
