Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Enjoy a superior home theater audio performance without investing in expensive and space-consuming loudspeakers with the six-piece Definitive Technology ProCinema 600 system, a compact, entry-level system with a surprisingly affordable price that belies its remarkable sophistication. The biggest challenge in designing a sub/sat system is to engineer small satellites with a frequency response that extends low enough to blend properly with the subwoofer. Definitive Technologies overcame this challenge with the ProCinema series by engineering pressure-coupled medite passive radiators into the satellites and center channel speakers (the radiators are upward firing in the sats and side firing in the centers). These radiators dramatically improve the low frequency response while also delivering better linearity, improved transient response, and lower distortion. In addition, Definitive outfitted the speakers with BDSS technology, a patent-pending driver technology that couples a unique balanced double surround system--at both the apex and outer edge of the cone--with a precisely engineered central waveguide. BDSS produces a smoother response, greatly improved dynamic range, and dynamic stability, all essentials for elite home theater performance.

Sonically, the ProCinema 600 speakers are a revelation in terms of producing incredible sound at an affordable price. Their imaging is absolutely boxless, spacious, and three-dimensional, with pinpoint specificity and localization when appropriate. Not only are they silky smooth with a "you are there" presence--unique at any price and unheard of in their price range--but they're capable of great subtlety as well. It all adds up to an immersive surround sound performance that excels whether you're watching movies or listening to music.

The ProCinema 600 system includes four ProMonitor 600 satellite speakers, a ProCenter 600 center channel speaker, and a 250-watt ProSub 600 subwoofer that's powered by Definitive's SuperCube technology. The satellites and center channel are available in high-gloss, hand-rubbed piano gloss black (with a matching black subwoofer) or gloss white. In addition, the speakers offer several versatile mounting options. Listeners can shelf-mount the satellites using their unique tri-lobed base, wall-mount the units via built-in keyhole mounts or optional pivot mounts, or stand-mount the speakers via optional floor stands. The center channel speaker, meanwhile, includes an adjustable foot for shelf mounting, or you can wall-mount the speaker using the built-in threaded inserts.

Choosing Definitive Technology Speakers for Your Home

Definitive Technology offers many quality speakers that are just right for your home. Which speaker, or set of speakers, you choose depends on how much you are willing to spend and which features you prioritize in a home theater environment. All of Definitive Technology's speakers are audiophile-engineered, designer-styled loudspeakers intended for musical reproduction and home theater systems of the highest quality. Thousands of man-hours of critical listening and engineering utilizing the most advanced computer loudspeaker development programs available--along with fundamental research at the world's most advanced loudspeaker research facility--have combined to create unmatched instruments for the reproduction of music or movies in your home.

	The ProSub 800 Subwoofer Speaker produces true state-of-the-art bass performance thanks to such features as a built-in, high-power, high-current amplifier, sophisticated electronic crossovers, and a high-definition 8-inch woofer with a polymer cone coupled to a single 8-inch infrasonic radiator. All of Definitive's ProSub powered subwoofers incorporate the company's patented, digitally coupled Infinite Power Source amplifiers--300 watts RMS in the case of the ProSub 800--with high-current direct coupled power supplies and discrete MOSFET output devices helping ensure perfect high-definition resolution and reproduction. The sub's construction quality is also topnotch, with only the highest-quality components used, including mil-spec glass epoxy circuit boards and precision resistors and capacitors. The powerful high-definition drivers, meanwhile, were specifically engineered by Definitive to deliver rock-solid low-distortion bass that reaches down to the lowest subsonic frequencies, with an outstanding quality of superior transient response unequaled in the world. Add in a continuously adjustable low-pass filter control--which allows you to choose a roll-off from 40 to 150 Hz for the high end of the subwoofer--and you have an ideal subwoofer to blend into your ProCinema system.
	ProMonitor 800 Bookshelf Speaker: Enjoy a superior home theater audio performance without investing in expensive and space-consuming loudspeakers with the Definitive Technology ProCinema system, a line of compact satellite speakers, center channel speakers, and subwoofers that produces incredible sound at an affordable price. The biggest challenge in designing a sub/sat system is to engineer small satellites with a frequency response that extends low enough to blend properly with the subwoofer. Definitive Technologies overcame this challenge with the ProCinema series by engineering pressure-coupled medite passive radiators into the satellites and center channel speakers (the radiators are upward firing in the sats and side firing in the centers).

	ProCenter 1000 Center Channel Speaker: The ProCenter 1000 center channel speaker helps produce truly astounding dialogue when teamed with ProMonitor satellite speakers and a ProSub subwoofer. A center channel loudspeaker is the heavy lifter of your multichannel home theater system, as it delivers more than 50 percent of movie soundtrack information in a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack mix. Fortunately, the ProCenter 1000 tackles this workload with ease thanks to its pair of 4.5-inch die-cast-basket bass/midrange drivers, which take the frequency response down to 47 Hz when teamed with the pair of 4.5-inch pressure-driven planar low-frequency radiators. The speaker also includes a 1-inch, wide-dispersion pure aluminum dome tweeter to handle the high frequencies, along with a resonant monocoque cabinet. The end result is a wide dynamic soundstage with an extra-large sweet spot, ensuring that everyone in the room hears every detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy these speakers!!, October 12, 2008

By	Concession Card (Tinley Park, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fantastic sound, you won't be upset with this purchase!!

Great sound, very attractive, nice solid weight to the speakers, definitly not cheap flimsy crap!! Easy to set up although they recommend your front speakers plug into the Sub and not straight from your receiver. Nice seperation of sound, very impressed. Would buy these all over again!!

Get the floor stands, very solid and worth the $99 a pair.

All speakers come with Bannana type plugs that plug in or you can unscrew and feed wire in. I found a great deal on Amazon for gold plugs by Dayton and made my own cables with 14 guage wire, much cleaner install than straight wire.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good!, August 4, 2008

By	L. Smallwoo "smallwood" (Nashville, Tn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm no audio/stereophile, but these speakers sound great in my small-medium sized room. The packaging was really well done (they fit everything in there nice and tight) and the speakers themselves are good-looking and discreet. The subwoofer has a lot of power and a very easy to reach volume control. These plugged right in to my Denon receiver and sounds great! I'd recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars These are the speakers to buy!, April 29, 2009

By	J. Gomez (san antonio, tx) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Let me start by saying I research everything extensively before I buy it, especially home audio. I initially thought I wanted bose acoustimass, but all the reviews were mixed. My biggest criteria was small speakers. I previously had tower Sonys and bose surround, but was ready for a more hidden look. I whittled the research down to mirage nanosats or these. I was skeptical spending $600+ without hearing them and went to the local best buy where I could listen to both. They both sound great, but the definitive sounded a bit fuller and I couldn't get used to the nanosats. Setup is a bit odd, but well worth the sound. Plenty of tight bass, but not too boomy and the mids and highs are clear and lifelike.
