You want great sound everywhere in your home, but you may not always have room for or want the visual intrusion of free-standing speakers. Built-in flush mount speakers seem to be the answer but in practice they don't exactly disappear in the room, in fact many "in-wall" speakers call attention to themselves and create friction between your decorator and your audiophile sensibilities. Worse yet, most built-in speakers fall short on the performance end as well. Would Definitive allow you to suffer with bad sound? Oh no, no, no!
Definitive's Disappearing In-Wall series speakers feature near-invisibility thanks to their small diameters, hidden flange design, and low profile micro-perf grilles. They are as easy to install as traditional flanged flush-mount speakers, and don't require custom sheetrock/spackle skills to install yet they are practically invisible. The DI 5.5R grille is a mere 7-3/8" in diameter, about the same visible size as competitive nominal 4-1/2" in-ceiling speakers. With Definitive's DI Series you get more sound per square inch of visible speaker.

The Disappearing In-Wall models feature Definitive's most advanced technologies such as Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) mid/woofer drivers and pivoting Pure Aluminum dome tweeters for spectacular audio performance far beyond traditional flush-mount speakers. Definitive's exclusive Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) driver technology permits these flush mount speakers to deliver more bass output and dynamic range than larger drivers.
With in-ceiling speakers, listeners are almost always "off-axis." You rarely sit right under an in-ceiling speaker; usually the speaker is at a 30, 45 or even 60-degree angle to the listener. They've engineered DI Series speakers to disperse sound over a very wide area so that the sound is well-balance and natural regardless of where you are relative to the speakers. BDSS technology drivers, aimable tweeters as well as the specially countoured and textured AeroRing around the driver all contribute to the wide angle dispersion and superior coverage capability of the DI Series models.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does the Genelec G One come with a mini to pair of RCA cables cable? Thanks!
A: The Genelec G One 2-Way Powered Bookshelf Speaker (White, Single) BH #GEG1BW does not come with RCA cables.
Q: 2. What is the RMS of this speakers? Peak Power is not sufficient spec for the right amp.
A: The RMS is about 60 watts on this model.
Q: 3. I'm having awful feedback whenever I turn these on and plug in the RCA cables to the back of the speaker (the 3.5 mm end). Even without the RCA cable plugged into anything like my Topping A90 amp, it still creates the feedback noise. I've tried multiple cables now after this happened with the cables Genelec supplied, and it keeps happening no matter what. However, it stops once I remove the RCA cable from the back of the speaker. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a different cable? Any ideas?
A: It's a steady hum whenever it's powered on and the RCA cable is plugged into the back. If I plug in the other end of the RCA cable to anything else (my Topping amp, my other audio interfaces, etc.) the hum gets much louder. The RCA cable also seems to not fit the RCA input on the G1 or I have to use a tremendous amount of force to get the plug to even go halfway into the port.
Q: 4. Can I power this speaker with a Samson 120A amplifier?
A: Yes, these speakers can be powered by this Samson Servo 120a Power Amplifier BH #SASA120 • MFR #SA120A: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/131242-REG/Samson_SA120A_Servo_120_Power_Amplifier.html/specs. Thank you.

Q: 6. Thinking of getting a couple of these to add to my 5.1 home theater setup to create a 5.1.2 for Dolby Atmos. Will these be a good speaker for this?
A: Yes, these should work fine as Atmos effect speakers.
Q: 7. Hi! I love these speakers. They are beautiful and they produce wonderful sound! ...Until I moved them... I used the same mogami gold cables I had when they were on my desk and wall mounted them (using genelec wall mounts) high up almost near the ceiling inside my vocal booth. But now certain bass frequencies are way over pronounced in my booth and I'm experiencing a boomy bass in the lower frequencies that I can't clear up. I know my speakers need to be calibrated in this new configuration, but I'm not sure what to do or what to buy. Can anyone help? Is there software? Is the GLM kit compatible with this model? An audiobook narrator in Atlanta would love your expertise. Thanks in advance!
A: You can try using a bass trap in your booth like B&H # AULBTCHP for example.
Q: 8. if theses speakers were enclosed within a cabinet, what would be the box dimentions, wideth, height, and depth ?
A: These speakers are designed to operate properly in an in-ceiling installation. They should not be set into a baffle or enclosed box.
Q: 9. Can SVS Prime elevation speaker mount be used with this?
A: The Pyle Pro Swivel/Adjustable Wall/Ceiling Speaker Mounts will support the weight of the SVS Prime Elevation Speakers, but we are not able to confirm whether the holes on the mounting bracket that is included with the SVS speakers will line up properly with the holes on the plate for the Pyle Pro Speaker Mounts.
Q: 10. i already have the speakers and they are instauled one feel out of the ceiling and the hardware broke i noticed all 4 of the hardware is cracked due from over tighting of screws can i order just the mounting hardware?
A: I am very sorry. The mounting hardware is not sold separately. Please contact Pyle Pro directly: Pyle Pro: Tel: 800-444-5671 Email support@pyleaudio.com
