DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY
WHAT OBSESSION SOUNDS LIKE™
Thank you for choosing the Definitive Technology A90 height speaker module for
your BP9000 loudspeakers. We created the A90 module as a dedicated height
speaker designed specifically for the BP9060, BP9040, and BP9020 models so you
can fully enjoy the Dolby Atmos ® or DTS:X ™ multi-dimensional sound experience
within your home theater setup. The A90 easily connects and sits within the top of
your BP9000 speakers to fire sound upwards, which is then reflected off the ceiling
and back down to your viewing area.
Our engineers have spent many years in developing this product. In order to
ensure that you experience the finest performance possible, we encourage you to
take a moment to fully read this owner’s manual and familiarize yourself with the
proper installation and set-up procedures for your BP9000 speakers.

Connecting the A90 Elevation Speaker Module to
Your BP9000 Loudspeakers
Using your hands, gently push down on the back of the magnetically-sealed
aluminum top panel of your BP9000 speaker (Figure 1). Set the top panel
aside temporarily and/or put away for safekeeping. We’ve designed your
BP9000 speakers for the ultimate in design flexibility. So, feel free to keep
the A90 module connected permanently it's connected placed, or remove it
at the completion of each viewing experience.
Correctly align and place the A90 elevation speaker module within the top
of your BP9000 speaker. Press down evenly to ensure a tight seal.
The connector port on the inside perfectly mates with the connector
plug on the underside of the A90 module (Figure 2).

Connecting Your A90 Elevation Module
Now, run speaker wire from any compatible Atmos or DTS:X receiver binding posts (often titled HEIGHT) to the top
set of binding posts (titled: HEIGHT) on the bottom, rear side of your BP9000 speakers. Be sure to match + to +,
and – to -.
Note: The A90 elevation speaker module for your BP9000 speakers requires an Dolby Atmos/DTS:X-enabled
receiver and is maximized by Dolby Atmos/DTS:X-encoded source material. Visit www.dolby.com or www.dts.com

Ceiling Height for the Optimal Dolby Atmos®or DTS:X™Experience
It’s important to know that the A90 elevation module is a height speaker that bounces sound off a ceiling and
back toward your viewing area. With that in mind, your ceiling plays an important role in the experience.
To achieve the best Dolby Atmos or DTS:X experience possible:
• Your ceiling should be flat
• Your ceiling material should be acoustically reflective (examples include drywall, plaster, hardwood or other
rigid, non-sound absorbing material)
• Ideal ceiling height is between 7.5 and 12 feet
• Maximum recommended height is 14 feet
Receiver Setup Recommendations
To experience either revolutionary sound technology, you must have a way to play or stream Dolby Atmos or
DTS:X content.
Note: please reference your receiver/processor owner’s manual for complete directions, or give us a call.
Options to Play or Stream Content
1. You can play Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content from a Blu-ray Disc through an existing Blu-ray Disc player. Be
sure you have a player that’s fully compliant with Blu-ray specifications.
Or
2. You can stream content from a compatible game console, Blu-ray, or streaming media player. In both cases,
be sure to set your player to bitstream output.
Note: Dolby Atmos and DTS:X are compatible with the current HDMI® specification (v1.4 and later). For more
information, visit www.dolby.com or www.dts.com.

Maximizing Your New Home Theater
While certified Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content will be maximized on your new system, nearly any content can be
improved with the addition of your A90 height modules. For example, nearly all Dolby Atmos receivers feature a
Dolby surround upmixer function that automatically adapts any traditional channel-based signal to the new, full
capabilities of your system, including your A90 height modules. This ensures that you hear realistic and immersive
three-dimensional sound no matter what you’re playing. Please reference your receiver/processor owner’s manual
for complete information.
