Definitive Technology AW5500BK All-Weather Full-Range 5.25″ Outdoor Speaker – Black

Definitive Technology AW5500

The Definitive Technology AW5500 outdoor loudspeaker combines audiophile-grade performance with robust all-weather construction, making it an ideal choice for patios, decks, gardens, and outdoor entertainment areas. Designed to perform reliably in rain, snow, heat, and humidity, the AW5500 delivers powerful, room-filling sound without sacrificing clarity or balance.

At the heart of the AW5500 is a carefully engineered driver array featuring a 5.25-inch BDSS midrange driver, a 1-inch pure aluminum dome tweeter, and a 5 × 8-inch passive bass radiator. This combination produces deep, impactful bass, articulate midrange detail, and crisp high frequencies that carry effortlessly across outdoor spaces. The passive radiator enhances low-frequency output without distortion, ensuring rich and immersive audio even at higher volumes.

The speaker is housed in Definitive Technology’s exclusive PolyStone enclosure, a weatherproof, acoustically inert cabinet designed to resist fading, cracking, and resonance. Paired with an aluminum mesh grille, the enclosure protects internal components while preserving accurate sound reproduction. The watertight design seals the drivers, tweeter, and radiator against moisture and debris, ensuring consistent performance in demanding outdoor environments.

Installation is simple and versatile thanks to the included galvanized steel mounting bracket, allowing horizontal or vertical orientation and precise aiming for optimal coverage. With high sensitivity, wide frequency response, and robust power handling, the AW5500 delivers dynamic, surround-quality sound that elevates outdoor listening beyond traditional weatherproof speakers.

Backed by a class-leading warranty, the Definitive Technology AW5500 is built to deliver powerful, expansive sound outdoors for years to come.
