ℹ Product Information

The Dymension CI™ DC-80 MAX SUR premium in-ceiling surround speaker delivers expansive overhead sound for high-performance home theatre systems, thanks to pivoting drivers, dual tweeters, and discreet aesthetics.

  • 8.0" Pivoting BDSS Woofer with Linear Response Waveguide™
  • Dual 1" Pivoting Aluminum Oxide Dome Tweeters
  • Toolless Installation
  • Flush, Border-Free Design
  • IP55-Rated
  • Premium Iconic Sound

    Signature acoustic technologies provide clear, consistent sound for home and commercial systems.

    Expansive Overhead Sound

    A pivoting woofer and dual pivoting tweeters direct sound precisely where you want it..

    Simple, Toolless Installation for fast, easy installs

    Install speakers in minutes using an innovative toolless mounting system. A simple, two-piece system with pivoting “dog” arms installs effortlessly—no tools, no hassles. Pre-construction brackets are available for all Dymension CI models.

    Enjoy Superior Sound Anywhere

    Pivoting Aluminium Oxide Dome Tweeter for Superior Imaging Everywhere in the Room

    An ultralight, rigid, 1” aluminium oxide dome tweeter produces crisp, distortion-free highs that extend far beyond the range of human hearing. CI MAX Series features a pivoting tweeter on most models allowing for speaker placement in convenient locations while directing sound precisely where it matters most.

    Premium BDSS Woofers with Linear Response Waveguide for Robust Mids and Lows and the Ultimate Sweet Spot

    Dymension CI MAX’s light, stiff, mineral-filled woofers feature Definitive Technology’s revolutionary Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS™), which improves driver excursion and output, delivering superior punchiness and detail and a more even midrange throughout the room. Our patented Linear Response Waveguide™ extends both on-axis and off-axis frequency dispersion for more natural midrange and precise imaging and an open, airy sound.

    Sophisticated Crossover for Optimal Driver Performance

    A premium crossover network ensures balanced voicing and smooth response.

    Tweeter Attenuation Switch for Easy Adjustments

    A three-position high-frequency attenuation switch (-2 dB, flat, + 2 dB) adjusts tweeter response to compensate for acoustic issues like overly bright- or dull-sounding rooms.

    Disappearing Design for the Ultimate Vanishing Act

    An integrated frame and baffle; paintable micro-perforated magnetic grille; and flush, border-free design mean speakers fade into the background for a virtually invisible appearance that’s in perfect harmony with your space.

    IP55-Rated Construction for robust weather protection

    Stunning sound doesn’t have to be limited to indoor spaces. With IP55-rated protection against dust and low-pressure water streams, trust that you can bring premium sound to any space, including high-humidity environments and outdoor areas.

    Timbre-Matching for cohesive sound system

    With Dymension, fidelity runs in the family: Combine timbre-matched Dymension, Dymension CI, and Mythos speakers and Descend Series subwoofers to design the high-performance home theatre system of your dreams.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!

The Black Pearl Power Cable is a pretty substantial piece of kit, superbly constructed - it beats the usual black kettle lead hands down on looks and construction. It is however, fairly stiff so you need to allow it to hang in graceful arcs - no sharp bends. Being heavy it also needs a little support so it doesn’t drag on sockets at either end of the cable. Has it made a difference in the sound? Well, I have made so many changes all at once that I cannot definitively say if it has or not, but I am pretty sure that those electrons are having a whale of a time running along the conductors in the cable, and this hobby is all about joy!

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.
