Definitive Technology Speakers Manual - BP7000SC and BP7001SC Setup Guide

Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your Receiver or Ampliﬁer

Normally we recommend that you set the “Bass” and “Treble” controls

on ﬂat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. If you want more bass, raise the subwoofer’s “Level” control on your BP7000SC/ BP7001SC, keeping in mind that even a little turn of the knob can make a big difference in the sound. Also, if your ampliﬁer or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recommend that you leave it ﬂat. The reason for this is that we have spoken with many consumers about what they thought were improperly sounding speakers when, in fact the problem was misadjusted tone controls. When in doubt, leave them ﬂat; this almost always sounds the best.

Powering Up the Active Subwoofer Section

Your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs contain a built-in, active powered subwoofer section as well as an electronic crossover and so each BP7000SC/BP7001SC must be plugged into an electrical socket of the appropriate voltage (as indicated on the back of your unit) using the plug on the end of the black cord attached to the electronics module on the back of the loudspeaker. The BP7000SC/BP7001SC has a special circuit which automatically turns the powered subwoofer section on when a signal is fed to the loudspeaker and does not require an on-off switch. The red LED on the back panel will light up when a signal is sensed and the ampliﬁer turns on. Please note that after the cessation of a signal, it may take up to an hour for the ampliﬁer to actually turn off. In some instances, because of RF presence in your area, the red LEDs may not turn off. However, this is nothing to be concerned about as the ampliﬁers draw almost no power when they are idling.

To prevent accidental damage to the subwoofers built into your BP7000SC/ BP7001SCs from overdriving the system, the subwoofers feature an internal overload protection circuit, which will turn the subwoofers off or down when overdriven or overheated and will then resume normal operation after a few minutes.

Setting Your Speakers’ Low-Frequency

Level Control

Your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs have a level control which allows you to perfectly tune the output level of the powered low frequency subwoofer section to match your room as well as to fulﬁll your own personal listening preferences. Please note that there are no controls to vary the crossover points or phase because these have

been factory calibrated and set to provide perfect blending (a major performance beneﬁt of this innovative product). We suggest beginning with the level control set at approximately 12 o’clock.

BP7001SC, BP7000SC specifications

Definitive Technology has long been synonymous with premium audio performance, and their BP7001SC and BP7000SC speaker models continue this legacy with impressive specifications and groundbreaking technologies. Both models are designed to provide a powerful and immersive listening experience, ideal for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

The BP7001SC is a floor-standing speaker that boasts a beautiful design featuring a sleek, modern look. It incorporates Definitive Technology’s proprietary Balanced Dual Surround System technology, which enhances sound dispersion and ensures a wider soundstage. The BP7001SC is equipped with a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter and a 5.25-inch midrange driver, delivering crystal-clear highs and rich mids that bring your music to life.

In contrast, the BP7000SC offers similar aesthetics and technology but pairs down some specifications for a more accessible price point without sacrificing sound quality. This model uses the same 1-inch tweeter but integrates a 6.5-inch midrange driver for enhanced performance. The combination of high-quality components ensures that both models produce a balanced sound profile, perfect for movies, music, and gaming.

One of the standout features of these models is their Integrated Powered Subwoofer. The BP7001SC comes with a built-in 250-watt amplifier paired with a 12-inch subwoofer, which produces deep bass notes that resonate in any room. This is particularly advantageous for home theater setups where low-end frequencies play a crucial role. The BP7000SC, while lacking the same power output, still offers impressive bass and is perfect for smaller spaces.

The speakers also feature Definitive Technology's Forward-focused Acoustic Array technology, which utilizes advanced driver placement and a wide dispersion pattern to create a dynamic and enveloping audio experience. This design ensures that listeners can enjoy the full spectrum of sound regardless of their position in the room.

Both the BP7001SC and BP7000SC are constructed with high-quality materials that not only enhance their aesthetic appeal but also contribute to durability and longevity. They offer various connectivity options, making them compatible with a range of audio systems.

Whether in a dedicated home theater or part of a multiroom audio system, the Definitive Technology BP7001SC and BP7000SC deliver exceptional sound quality and performance. With their state-of-the-art technology and attention to detail, these speakers remain a top choice for those seeking an elevated audio experience.
