These technology-packed wonders feature high excursion active drivers pressure-coupled to racetrack-shaped Low-Bass Radiators to give you more than double the bass output while maintaining a weather-tight seal for ultimate placement flexibility, reliability, and performance.

and still reliably deliver their indoor speaker sound quality for years of outdoor listening enjoyment. Their integrated galvanized steel brackets and unique shape allow a full 360 degrees of rotation allowing the listener to orient the active drivers toward the listening area. Pointing the active driver baffle towards the listener while the Low-Bass Radiator side faces the wall or ground gives you the ideal balance of clear mids, extended highs, and thunderous bass even in the tough acoustic conditions of the great outdoors.

The AW5500 features a 51/4" active driver pressure-coupled to a 5" x 8" Low-Bass Radiator for a total bass radiating area greater than that of an 8" conventional woofer, while the AW6500’s 61/2" driver and 51/2" x 10" Low-Bass Radiator exceeds the radiating area of a 10" woofer — imagine all that bass from speakers small enough to unobtrusively place anywhere. Both AW models

use Definitive’s trademark Pure Aluminum dome tweeter for unexcelled high frequency extension and detail.

Now you can have it all — the great sound of Definitive indoor speakers on the patio, deck, garden, or in the sauna.

AW6500, AW5500 specifications

Definitive Technology has forged a reputation for producing high-quality audio equipment, and their outdoor speakers, the AW6500 and AW5500, exemplify this tradition of excellence. Designed for those who want to enjoy crystal-clear sound in their outdoor environments, these speakers provide a perfect blend of durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal.

The AW6500 is a robust, all-weather speaker featuring a 6.5-inch bass driver coupled with a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. Known for its rich bass response and dynamic mid-range, the AW6500 is capable of delivering high-fidelity sound even amidst the distractions of the great outdoors. The speaker is equipped with Definitive Technology's proprietary technologies, such as BDSS (Balanced Double Surround System) technology, which enhances sound dispersion and provides a more immersive listening experience. With a frequency response ranging from 38 Hz to 30 kHz, the AW6500 captures the nuances of every musical detail while promising deep, punchy bass.

In contrast, the AW5500 offers a slightly smaller form factor, featuring a 5.25-inch bass driver and a 1-inch tweeter, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more compact yet powerful outdoor audio solution. Like its larger counterpart, the AW5500 utilizes BDSS technology to ensure a wide soundstage and remarkable performance. The frequency response spans from 40 Hz to 30 kHz, allowing listeners to enjoy clear highs and balanced lows, proving that size does not always dictate performance.

Both models are engineered from marine-grade materials, ensuring that they withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and UV exposure. Their rugged enclosures and powder-coated grilles contribute to their durability, making them suitable for installation in gardens, patios, or pool areas. The speaker designs are both stylish and discreet, allowing them to blend seamlessly into any outdoor setting.

Installation is simplified with the included mounting brackets, allowing users to optimize their setups without hassle. The versatility of both the AW6500 and AW5500 makes them an excellent choice for a variety of outdoor scenarios, whether for entertaining guests or simply enjoying music on a quiet evening.

In summary, the Definitive Technology AW6500 and AW5500 speakers merge innovative engineering with aesthetic design, providing outdoor audio solutions that prioritize sound quality and durability. With features that cater to audiophiles and casual listeners alike, these speakers deliver an exceptional audio experience outside the conventional listening spaces.
