Surround Sound Shouldn’t Draw Attention to Itself

When done right, surround speakers shouldn’t draw attention to themselves. You shouldn’t find yourself listening for where sounds are coming from because it just feels like they belong there. That’s exactly what Definitive Technology DW-Max Sur MAX In-Wall Bipolar Surround Speaker is designed to do. It radiates sound across the room rather than blasting it directly at you, filling your room with a bigger and more natural atmosphere.

It totally changes the experience of watching movies and playing games. You don’t suddenly hear a helicopter pop out of one speaker only to blast into the next. It quietly flies over head. You hear rain fall all around you instead of settling gently behind your shoulder. When designing surround systems with our home theater design tool we love using this speaker when the goal is total immersion as opposed to accentuating individual channels.

Sticks to the Wall and Your Brain

What makes this speaker feel so natural is its bipolar design. Since it projects sound in dual directions, surround effects have room to spread rather than bleed out from a singular source. The result is a wider surround field, smoother transitions, and a more consistent experience for everyone in the room, even if they aren’t seated in “the sweet spot.”

The in-wall design has a similar effect on your media room. Once installed it practically vanishes into the wall so you never have to watch a movie feeling distracted by your equipment. And when it’s time to pop that next blockbuster DVD in, you can feel confident that it will continue working hard for years without requiring special attention thanks to its durable construction.

Complements Your System, Not Just Your Room

Surround speakers sound the best when they become part of a system rather than an accessory. As you design your home theater each speaker should be complementing the others creating a single cohesive soundstage rather than a handful of audio hotspots.

That’s why we created Dreamedia+. We don’t just pick out speakers and send you on your way. We plan out your entire home theater experience by helping you choose the right components, optimizing your speaker placement, and tuning your room to work with your new system.
