An ultralight, rigid, 1” aluminum oxide dome tweeter produces crisp, distortion-free highs that extend far beyond the range of human hearing. CI MAX Series features a pivoting tweeter on most models allowing for speaker placement in convenient locations while directing sound precisely where it matters most.

Dymension CI MAX’s light, stiff, mineral-filled woofers feature Definitive Technology’s revolutionary Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS™), which improves driver excursion and output, delivering superior punchiness and detail and a more even midrange throughout the room. Our patented Linear Response Waveguide™ extends both on-axis and off-axis frequency dispersion for more natural midrange and precise imaging and an open, airy sound. 

A premium crossover network ensures balanced voicing and smooth response. 

A three-position high-frequency attenuation switch (-2 dB, flat, + 2 dB) adjusts tweeter response to compensate for acoustic issues like overly bright- or dull-sounding rooms. 

An integrated frame and baffle; paintable micro-perforated magnetic grille; and flush, border-free design mean speakers fade into the background for a virtually invisible appearance that’s in perfect harmony with your space.

Toolless Installation for fast, easy installs

A simple, two-piece system with pivoting “dog” arms installs effortlessly—no tools, no hassles. Pre-construction brackets are available for all Dymension CI models.

Timbre-Matching for cohesive sound system
