Definitive Technology BP7000SC, BP7001SC specification

Setting Low-Frequency Balance When Using Separate LFE Input

We suggest that when you are using a separate LFE input, you set the bass level on your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs to sound balanced when listening to music in stereo and use the .1 channel or bass level control in your Dolby Digital channel balancing procedure on your decoder to raise or lower the bass level for movie sound effects as you require.

Normally the level control of the left speaker will be set the same as the level control of the right speaker. However, these controls can also be set differently on the two speakers in order to allow you to vary the response of left and right speakers separately to compensate for variations and asymmetrical positioning of the left and right speakers in your room (i.e., when one is closer to a side wall or corner, etc.) if this is how you must set them up. This is a very unique and useful feature which allows you much greater ﬂexibility in loudspeaker placement, as well as the ability to optimize what could otherwise be difﬁcult placement situations.

VERY IMPORTANT: Setting Channel Balance

and Bass Management Systems

Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 (6.1, 7.1) systems and decoders have a critical channel balancing procedure for the left and right front speakers, center channel, rears and subwoofer (if it is hooked up through the “LFE or Sub Out” low-level connection) which must be followed if the system is to perform properly. We have spoken with many system users with problems relating to the overall sound of their system which could be clearly traced back to improper system balance. In fact, many users never realize that there is a system balance procedure to be followed.

Also note that Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 (6.1, 7.1) systems and decoders have bass management systems (systems which direct the bass to the various channels) which vary from unit to unit. This bass management system must also be properly adjusted. We have spoken with many system users with problems relating to the overall sound of their system which could be clearly traced back to improper bass management. In fact, many users never realize that there is a bass management procedure to be followed.

If your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs are hooked up with speaker level wires and no low-level LFE channel input, your receiver or decoder’s bass management system should be set for “Large” left and right main speakers and “No” subwoofer (even though you have subwoofers built into your BP7000SC/ BP7001SCs). This will properly channel the sub bass LFE information into the left and right channels and then into your subwoofers built into your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs. If you have a Deﬁnitive center channel with a built-in powered subwoofer, set your decoder’s bass management center channel setting to “Large” (although you should experiment with this to see what sounds best in your speciﬁc system). If you are using large rear surround speakers with very extended low frequency response such as a large Deﬁnitive ﬂoor-standing system or one with a built-in powered subwoofer, set the rear channels of your decoder’s bass management system to “Large.” If not, set them to “Small.”

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.
