Definitive Technology DW-MAX SUR

The bi-polar design uses drivers that fire off-axis rather than directly at the listening position. This creates a diffuse, wraparound soundfield that makes surround effects feel more spacious and natural, rather than pinpointing exactly where the speaker is located.

Yes. Because the DW-MAX SUR carries an IP55 rating, it is protected against dust and humidity, making it a safe choice for environments like bathrooms or covered outdoor spaces where standard speakers might fail.

The speaker includes a high-frequency level switch on the front baffle. You can use this to tune the treble output to better match your room's specific acoustics, helping to balance the sound if your space is overly reflective or heavily carpeted.

With a mounting depth of 3.6875 inches, these speakers are designed to fit into standard wall construction. However, you should always verify your wall depth before cutting, as some older homes or specific wall treatments may reduce the available clearance.

The magnetic grille comes in a neutral finish, but it is fully paintable. This allows you to blend the speaker into your wall color for a discreet, custom look that essentially makes the hardware disappear.

These speakers are rated for 20 to 200 watts of power handling. They are versatile enough to work with most standard home theater receivers, but they perform best when paired with an amplifier that can provide clean, consistent power within that range.
