Review Summary

We just set these up in the pool area after painting them to match the siding of the pool house. We have them set low on the wall and horizontal with the bass speakers facing down. The sound is fantastic and fills the area with a nice soundstage and great detail. It's being driven by a HEOS Amplifier.

Very disappointed with these speakers - they are only 5 years old and only one now works. I took the faulty speaker apart and was very surprised to find connections, joints and other parts were rusty! Certainly not weather proof as stated in product information

AW5500 All-Weather Loudspeaker - Fill the Outdoors with Expansive Audio
The AW5500's blend of high-performance drivers and passive bass radiators encased in a rugged, weatherproof housing deliver deep, expansive sound throughout your outdoor living area.
Weatherproof: Our watertight design protects your speaker from the elements
Expansive Sound: 5.5" woofer and bass radiator deliver deep, impactful audio throughout your outdoor spaces
Flexible Placement: Galvanized steel mounting brackets for flexible installations
Expansive Outdoor Sound
As Clear as the Big, Blue Sky
The AW5500 combines high definition Aluminum Dome Tweeters that deliver clean, detailed treble, and a 5.5" BDSS woofer pressure-coupled with an 8" passive bass radiator that delivers clear, deep, impactful bass. You'll enjoy expansive, full-precision sound, no matter where you are in the yard.
Custom-Engineered Drivers for clear, detailed outdoor sound
The same painstaking engineering and thoughtful material choices of Definitive Technology indoor speakers infuse the All-Weather Series.
Passive Radiators - Double the Bass Output
The AW5500's 5 x 8" bass radiator, pressure- coupled with the active BDSS mid/bass drivers, pumps out bass rivaling an 8" woofer in less space. You can fill the outdoors with rich, full-frequency audio even at low volume.
Tweeters - Clean, Crisp Highs
The AW5500 Aluminum Dome Tweeters feature ultralight, rigid construction that enables them to play significantly higher frequencies than we can hear, providing effortless, distortion-free performance within and beyond the audible range.
BDSS Woofers
Accurate Midrange, Dynamic Bass
The AW5500's midrange/bass woofers feature the innovative Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS), the same driver technology found in our top indoor speakers. BDSS improves driver excursion, delivering output usually associated with a larger driver, while retaining a smaller drive's improved dispersion and midrange definition.
Integrated Waveguide for a smooth response
The cone's integrated waveguide smooths off-axis response for broad, even dispersion and better imaging throughout your space.
Mineral-filled Polymer Cone for full-yard extension
The AW5500 features a deeply drawn mineral-filled polymer cone, engineered using sophisticated 3D modeling techniques, for wide range performance.
Wired For Fun
With its higher frequency response, zero-latency video sync, and rock-solid performance, the AW5500 delivers reliability and sound quality far beyond wireless speakers.
Built for Durability
Weatherproof Wonders
Mount anywhere, hear everywhere: The integrated galvanized steel mounting brackets and unique enclosure shape enable full 360 Degree rotation. Place your speakers just about anywhere while directing the audio to reach exactly where you want it. Add as few or as many as desired; they scale to any outdoor space.
Ready to Play come rain or come shine
The All-Weather Series can withstand rain, snow, and temperature extremes that drive us mortals indoors. With Definitive Technology's proprietary weather seal defending the subwoofers, tweeters, and passive radiators
Tough PolyStone Exterior for durability and longevity
Definitive Technology's exclusive, rugged PolyStone enclosure can take all that nature can muster. The black finish is highly fade-resistant, and the white finish is both fade-resistant and paintable. For accurate outdoor audio, PolyStone enclosures, coupled with mesh aluminum grilles, provide an acoustically neutral, anti-resonant home for the tweeter, subwoofer, and passive radiator. They'll last for many years, and never stop sounding great.
