This specific designation identifies a particular model of bipolar tower loudspeaker manufactured by Definitive Technology. The design incorporates forward-facing drivers coupled with rear-firing elements to create a wider, more immersive soundstage than traditional direct-radiating speakers. The “BP” prefix indicates the bipolar radiation pattern, while the numerical portion denotes its position within the manufacturer’s product line at the time of release. These loudspeakers were often employed in high-fidelity stereo systems or as front channels in home theater configurations.
The appeal of this type of loudspeaker lies in its ability to fill a room with sound more effectively. By reflecting sound waves off the back and side walls, it creates a greater sense of spaciousness and envelopment for the listener. This contrasts with conventional speakers that primarily project sound forward. The advantages extend to improved imaging and a less directional sound, making the listening experience more enjoyable for multiple listeners across a wider area. Historically, this model represented a commitment to innovative design aimed at enhancing audio reproduction within home environments.
