Know before you buy
Yes, the DM20 is designed with a slim, low-profile form factor that supports wall mounting, making it an excellent choice for setups where space is limited or you prefer a clean, floating look beneath your TV.
The DM20 is timbre-matched to the rest of the Dymension series and other Definitive Technology lines. This ensures a consistent sound signature across your front soundstage, preventing jarring shifts in tone as audio pans between speakers.
The DM20 has a recommended amplifier power range of 50 to 200 watts. Because it has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, ensure your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling a 4-ohm load to achieve optimal performance.
The four 4-inch long-throw woofers work in tandem with the 1-inch aluminum oxide tweeter to provide a full, natural midrange. This configuration helps anchor dialogue to the screen, ensuring voices remain clear and detailed even during complex action sequences.
The DM20 features an acoustically transparent grille cloth, which is engineered to protect the drivers without muffling or distorting the high-frequency output. You can leave the grille on for a sleek, uniform look without sacrificing audio performance.
