Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

Ceiling mounted for Atmos

I held off for a while on an Atmos setup. I finally gave in and chose the DI 8R (2 pair) after reading recommendations on a forum. Installation is very easy. Sound quality is very good for surround (Atmos) setup. Power handling is great (separate power amp each pair). They also do an excellent job using DTS-X and Auro 3D modes blending very well with my speakers; ST-L, Mythos Ten, Mythos Gem XL (F Height, Side and Rear).

About Definitive Technology Disappearing DI

For a seamless blend of high-fidelity audio and modern home aesthetics, the Disappearing Series DI 5.5S Square 5.25" 2-Way In-Ceiling/In-Wall Speaker is the quintessential choice for audio enthusiasts and interior design connoisseurs alike. This stylish and sleek speaker is engineered by the renowned Definitive Technology, ensuring a durable and high-quality listening experience that rivals the performance of top floorstanding speakers.

The DI 5.5S speaker boasts a compact footprint that is remarkably smaller than other models in its class, making it nearly invisible when installed in your ceilings or walls. Its patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) midrange/woofer, coupled with the pure aluminum dome tweeter used in Definitive Technology's flagship speakers, delivers room-filling fidelity with a dynamic punch that belies its discreet size.

Experience clear, clean, and detailed sound with the 5.25" BDSS woofer, designed to produce superior midrange and bass dynamics. The rigid PolyStone basket provides a robust foundation for the powerful driver excursion, ensuring every beat and note is rendered with precision.

The DI 5.5S speaker also features a pivotable tweeter, allowing for controlled directivity and customization of sound dispersion to perfectly suit your space. The ultralight, rigid construction of the aluminum dome tweeter ensures sparkling, distortion-free highs, optimizing the audio experience within the range of human hearing.

Tailored to your environment, the Environmental EQ feature allows you to fine-tune the highs to compensate for the acoustics of any room. Whether you need to boost treble in sound-absorbing spaces or reduce it in lively areas, the adjustable EQ ensures balanced sound in any setting.

The sophisticated adjustable crossover network within the DI 5.5S speaker utilizes high-precision components to maintain sonic purity. The AeroRing surrounding the BDSS driver minimizes diffraction, distributing natural, well-balanced sound, while the Axially-Aligned configuration of the tweeter and woofer offers broader sound dispersion.

Installation is a breeze with the DI Series' disappearing design. Whether for new construction or retrofitting existing spaces, the hidden flange architecture and pivoting lock arms make for a straightforward and reliable setup. The paintable magnetic grille can be customized to match any decor, attaching securely to the speaker with powerful neodymium magnets for a tool-free finish.

In summary, the Disappearing Series DI 5.5S Square 5.25" 2-Way In-Ceiling/In-Wall Speaker is a testament to Definitive Technology's acoustic wizardry and commitment to unobtrusive design. It's the perfect solution for anyone seeking to enjoy legendary sound quality without compromising on style or space. Whether for residential or commercial settings, music rooms or home theaters, this speaker is ready to deliver an invisible audio performance that will leave you in awe.
