This Definitive Technology Dymension LCR-525 MAX In-Wall LCR Speaker Review dives deep into why this flagship CI™ MAX Series model is a game-changer for audiophiles and home theatre enthusiasts down under. Leveraging Definitive Technology’s most advanced acoustic innovations, the LCR-525 MAX delivers breathtaking sound with a discreet, near-invisible form factor.
Seamless Design & Effortless Installation
The Dymension LCR-525 MAX features a border-free, micro-perforated magnetic grille that you can paint to match your décor—making it virtually invisible in any room. Our patented toolless mounting system employs pivoting dog arms for fast, no-fuss installation. Whether you’re a professional installer or a DIY enthusiast, this speaker snaps into place in minutes, with optional pre-construction brackets available for new builds.
Audiophile-Grade Acoustic Innovations
At the heart of the LCR-525 MAX lie dual 5.25-inch mineral-filled BDSS™ woofers with a Linear Response Waveguide™. This combination ensures robust, punchy mids and lows, along with an even frequency dispersion that preserves clarity off-axis. The 1-inch pivoting aluminium oxide dome tweeter delivers crisp, distortion-free highs up to 30 kHz, allowing you to position the speaker flexibly without compromising imaging precision.
The sophisticated internal crossover network maintains balanced voicing and a smooth, natural response from 34 Hz to 30 kHz (–10 dB), with a sensitivity of 89 dB (2.83 V/1 m) and a 4 Ω impedance. It pairs effortlessly with amplifiers ranging from 20–200 W, making it a versatile choice for any home theatre amplifier or AVR.
Indoor & Outdoor Flexibility with IP55 Protection
Don’t let humidity or dust limit your soundscapes. The LCR-525 MAX’s IP55-rated enclosure stands up to moisture and low-pressure water streams, so you can install these speakers in high-humidity bathrooms, alfresco dining areas, or sheltered patios. Enjoy seamless audio continuity from your living room to the backyard without missing a beat.
