Another result of the BP 10's bipolar design is that it operates best placed about 8 to 12 inches out from a wall-unlike planar systems, which must normally be placed several feet away from a wall. In this respect, the BP 10 is unlike dipole radiators such as large electrostatic speakers or similar planar systems in which the front and rear surfaces radiate out of phase and tend to cancel each other at low frequencies.
#DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY BP 2000 REVIEW FULL#
Since the front and rear halves of the system radiate in phase over their full frequency range, their bass outputs augment each other. Each consists of a 6-1/2-inch woofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter, with the woofer located at the top of the cabinet and the tweeter just below it. One faces forward conventionally, and the other is on the rear panel, facing backward. Actually, the BP 10 is a bipolar system (hence the "BP" designation) containing a pair of identical two-way speakers.
There is no visible indication of the number, size, or configuration of the drivers. The gold-plated, multiway terminals, which accept dual banana plugs, are under the base, with a slot for the connecting cable. The top cap is also available in solid oak. The wood base and top plate have a glossy lacquer finish. Its exterior is completely black, and the four sides are covered by a fabric sleeve that fits snugly around the enclosure. The BP 10 is a slender columnar speaker measuring 42 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 11-1/2 inches deep and weighing about 60 pounds.
Definitive Technology's first product is an unusual loudspeaker that offers exceptional performance for its size and price.
