FAQ
Q: What is the Definitive Technology A90 High-Performance Height Speaker Module?
A: The Definitive Technology A90 High-Performance Height Speaker Module is a pair of speakers that support Dolby Atmos / DTS:X and easily connects and sits within the top of your Definitive Technology BP9060, BP9040 and BP9020 speakers, firing sound upwards, which is then reflected off the ceiling and back down to your viewing area.
Q: What are the features of the A90?
A: The A90 features Dolby Atmos certification and DTS:X compatibility, an aluminum dome tweeter, a sloped speaker baffle with exclusive foam construction, an acoustically transparent grille, a totally inert, resonance-free cabinet, and a minimalist design with timeless appeal.
Q: What is the frequency range of the A90?
A: The frequency range of the A90 is 86 Hz - 22 kHz.
Q: Do these speaker modules activate even without Dolby Atmos content?
A: It can when you activate all speakers on your receiver setting but if it’s on auto it’ll play when Dolby Atmos is detected.
Q: Will these fit on the bp8060st?
A: No, they will not. They are designed for the 9000 series. They are custom designed for ceiling bounce on the 9020, 9040 and 9060 series.
Q: Do these have the traditional binding posts on the back? Or do they only work with the dt9000 series?
A: The A90 only works with the 9000 series.
Q: Do it come with one or two?
A: They come in pairs.
Q: Can you calibrate this once it's connected to the bp9020 with your dolby atmos avs
A: It depends on your AV Receiver, but yes many do. However, it's usually not recommended to use auto calibration due to the bi-polar nature of the BP-9xxx series towers. Most calibration software can't handle the sound differences in bi-polar vs normal speakers, it just isn't programmed for it. Having said that, manual calibration is fine, and makes a noticeable difference.
Q: Will these work for the 2000 series BP towers?
A: No, they will not. The BP2000 does not support the A90.
Q: What is the weight and dimensions of the A90?
A: The A90 weighs 6 pounds and has dimensions of 13 x 6 x 3.75 inches.
Q: What is the best setting for the speaker level for atmos speakers?
A: According to research, +3 is the best setting for them. You want them in the middle of the db setting from front and rear so they are hear-able but certainly not drowning out either.
