Definitive Technology BP9040 - Explore a New Dimension of Sound

The BP9040 offers the most cutting-edge audio technologies, including Forward-Focused Bipolar array technology, integrated powered subwoofers, Intelligent Bass Control™ and Dolby Atmos® and DTS: X™ compatibility.

The BP9040 tower speaker system is your answer for remarkable, immersive, room-filling sound so you can experience every detail of pure home theatre. Forward Focused Bipolar Array expands your room’s entire soundstage. Aluminium dome tweeters, high-performance drivers, integrated powered subwoofer and Intelligent Bass Control let you hear and feel every note as the artist intends. Dolby Atmos / DTS:X compatibility let you explore true multi-dimensional sound. Timeless, minimalist design. This is what obsession sounds like.

Aluminium Dome Tweeters

The BP9040’s Aluminium Dome Tweeters feature ultralight, rigid construction that enables them to play significantly higher frequencies than we can hear with incredibly fast and accurate transient response. This provides effortless, distortion-free performance within and beyond the audible range—perfect for the enjoyment of high-resolution audio.

Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® Compatibility

Pair the BP9040 with the A90 Height Module (sold separately) to take full advantage of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D audio. When you integrate the dramatic vertical dimension they provide with the stunning depth of field, wide soundstage, and deep bass offered by BP9040 you’ll enjoy games, music, and film with a full level of 3D sound immersion unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.

Not Just for Home Cinema

All the advances that make the BP9000 Series the ultimate home cinema speaker system apply to beautiful music reproduction as well. That’s why the BP9000 Series is also revered for its extraordinary musicality—it’s like sitting with the mix engineer when watching concerts or music videos, or when listening to multichannel audio from FLAC, Blu-ray or SACD sources.

BDSS – Balanced Double Surround System

All mid/bass woofers in the BP9040 feature our innovative Balanced Double Surround System™ (BDSS) technology which improves driver excursion. BDSS results in a wider, more uniform midrange soundstage throughout your listening environment and also enables the BP9040’s woofers to play lower and blend better with its built-in subwoofer. With a more consistent soundstage and detailed mids and lows, BDSS drivers ensure that with the BP9040, you’re always in the best seat in the house.

Patented Forward-Focused Bipolar Array

The BP9040 premier technology is our patented Forward Focused Bipolar Array (FFBA). The BP9040 array incorporates three 4.5” midrange drivers (two front-facing/one rear-facing) and one front-facing 1” aluminium dome tweeter. By simultaneously firing both forward and backward, a naturalistic delay is added to the sound that creates a sense of immense depth in rooms of any size.

Integrated Powered Subwoofer and Dual Bass Radiators

The best loudspeaker is one that reproduces balance between the highest highs down to ground-shaking lows as accurately as possible. The BP9040's integrated powered subwoofer matched with its respective bass radiator offers deeper, more impactful bass from the tower speaker without the need to add a subwoofer.

Intelligent Bass Control

Intelligent Bass Control, a Definitive Technology exclusive, enables you to experience powerful deep bass performance from the BP9040 without sacrificing optimal midrange clarity. Intelligent Bass Control achieves this by utilizing 56-bit digital signal processing to allow boosting of the bottom two octaves of your signal without altering the bass-to-midbass blending and crossover point. Combined with BP9040’s resonance-free cabinets, Intelligent Bass Control ensures that your chosen bass level will never get in the way of dialogue or any other aspect of the soundtrack.

Acoustically Transparent Grille

The BP9040 is wrapped in an acoustically transparent black cloth grille that won’t affect the sound. As soon as you dim the lights, they disappear into your room—so you can focus on the movie, not your speakers.

Modern and Sleek

We understand that you make a statement with your choice of home theatre components. The BP9040 wasn’t just designed to sound sensational; they also make for a compelling yet understated visual presence in your home.

Cast Aluminium Base with Spikes and Floor Glides

The wide footprint of the BP9040’s cast aluminium base increases the overall stability of the tower speaker, while the addition of spikes or floor glides help keep your speakers firmly in place, whether on carpet or other solid floor surfaces like hardwood or cement.

LED Backlit Definitive Technology Logo

To highlight the integrated powered subwoofer and show that your speaker is receiving a signal, you'll find an LED logo at its bottom front panel. Turn it on or off at your leisure and also note that it will automatically turn off/standby after 20 minutes of no active signal.

About the BP9000 Series - Sound That Transcends the Status Quo

The arrival of BP9000 Series ushers true high-performance, full-range sound into a new era—totally redesigned and re-engineered with improvements that cascade across every one of our patented audio technologies. From advances in our Forward Focused Bipolar Array, built-in powered subwoofers, new Intelligent Bass Control™, and seamless Dolby Atmos® / DTS:X integration™, the BP9000 Series offers the big, room-filling, yet precise sound you demand with an elegant footprint that makes every single day of ownership a marvel to behold.

Definitive Technology CS9040 Centre Channel Speaker - Full Range Performance

The CS9040 features high-performance BDSS mid/bass drivers, aluminium dome tweeters, and an integrated 8" passive bass radiator. With the CS9040, you’ll hear centre channel audio with a level of full range clarity and impact that’s unlike anything you have ever experienced before.

Integrated 8" Bass Radiator

The centre channel is critical for more than just vocal clarity, it is also the location of much of the sound effects audio in films. Where most competitive centre channel offerings narrowly focus only on reproducing voice dialog, the CS9040 provides full range representation of your centre channel audio. The CS9040 achieves this through the integration of an 8" bass radiator, which works in harmony with the CS9040’s BDSS woofers to effectively double their bass producing surface area. That translates to richer, more impactful sound - front and centre where you expect it. In addition, the presence of a bass radiator in the centre of your soundfield supports more even bass distribution throughout the room.

Balanced Double Surround System™ (BDSS)

At the heart of the CS9040’s speaker array are two innovative 4.5” Balanced Double Surround System™ drivers, designed to always place you in the best seat in the house. BDSS improves driver excursion, allowing the CS9040’s mid/bass drivers to play lower and blend with its integrated bass radiator.

Because this technology is utilised across the entire BP9000 Series, when integrated with other BP9000 models, the CS9040 contributes to a more uniform midrange soundstage throughout your listening environment. That means anchored, centrally focused dialog; full range reproduction of scores and sound effects; and a seamless flow of panned audio from loudspeaker to loudspeaker.

Anti-Resonant Construction

Strategically-placed bracing creates maximum rigidity with a totally inert, resonance-free cabinet for improved imaging and accuracy.

Aluminium Dome Tweeter

The CS9040’s Aluminium Dome Tweeters feature ultralight, rigid construction that enables them to play significantly higher frequencies than we can hear with incredibly fast and accurate transient response. This provides effortless, distortion-free performance within and beyond the audible range - perfect for the enjoyment of high resolution audio.

Disappearing Design

The CS9040 is wrapped in an acoustically transparent black cloth grille that won’t affect the sound. And as soon as you dim the lights, they disappear into your room - so you can focus on the movie, not your speakers.

Low-Diffraction Swivel Tweeter for high-performance high frequencies

The DT6.5LCR features our low-diffraction swivel tweeter. Its specially-designed housing eliminates cross-driver interference with the midrange driver while improving dispersion and off-axis response. The swivel mechanism enables the installer to aim the tweeter for pinpoint direct audio or diffuse surround sound.

Pure Aluminium Swivel Tweeter

The ultralight, rigid construction of the DT6.5LCR's aluminium dome tweeter enables it to play significantly higher frequencies than we can hear, allowing for optimum linearity within the range of human hearing. The swivel mechanism lets installers orient the tweeter for precise direct sound or diffuse surround sound - or anything in between.

Polypropylene Mineral-filled Midrange/Woofer

Coupled with butyl rubber surrounds, the polypropylene mineral-filled midrange/woofer cone is a superb combination of lightness, stiffness, excursion, and control. The result: quick and punchy bass with smooth and detailed midrange.
