Definitive Technology Procinema 1000 Plus 5.1Ch System (Black)
Feature
Promonitor 1000 Satellite Speaker
Pressure Coupled Radiator Design:
- The ProMonitor satellite provides clear, high-definition sound by pressure-coupling Definitive's exclusive BDSS technology driver to an equal-sized mid/bass radiator cleverly placed on the top of the satellite.
- This technique doubles the lower-midrange radiating area of the speaker without increasing the size of the enclosure.
- The result is a warm and life-like sound.
BDSS Technology:
- Definitive Technology's Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) drivers offers a wide-bandwidth accurate frequency response, broad dispersion, low distortion, and detail retrieval; so you hear more the music with greater accuracy and enjoyment.
- BDSS drivers incorporate the following design features.
Balanced Double Surrounds:
- The speaker's balanced double surrounds support the cone at two points to provide better mechanical stability for longer, more linear excursion, and improved damping to suppress parasitic cone resonance.
Mineral-Filled Polymer Cone:
- The ProMonitor features a deeply drawn mineral-filled polymer cone engineered using sophisticated 3D modeling techniques for wide range performance.
Waveguide:
- The cone's integrated waveguide smoothes off-axis response for broad, even dispersion and better imaging.
High Temperature Voice Coil:
- The driver's high temperature, oversized, lightweight vented voice coil offers improved power handling and quick transient response.
- The Lengthened voice coil also offers increased linearity and lower distortion.
Magnet Structure:
- The driver's magnetic system is optimized by finite element analysis to maximize magnetic flux in the gap for high efficiency and linear excursion.
Die-Cast Alloy Basket:
- The die-cast alloy basket minimizes ringing and vibration while the open area minimizes back wave reflection.
Procenter 2000 Center Channel Speaker
Pressure Coupled Radiator Design:
- The ProMonitor center-channel speaker provides clear, high-definition sound by pressure-coupling Definitive's exclusive BDSS technology drivers to two equal-sized mid/bass radiators cleverly placed on the sides of the center-speaker.
- This technique doubles the lower-midrange radiating area of the speaker without increasing the size of the enclosure.
- The result is a warm and life-like sound.

Die-Cast Alloy Basket:
- The die-cast alloy basket minimizes ringing and vibration while the open area minimizes back wave reflection.
Drivers:
- The Definitive Technology ProCenter 2000 features two 5-1/4" BDSS driver coupled to two side-firing 5-1/4" pressure-driven planar low-frequency radiators, and a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter.
Break-In Period:
- The ProCenter 2000 loudspeaker will sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of playing is required to reach full performance capability.
- The break-in period allows the suspensions to work in and results in full bass, a more open midrange, and smoother high frequency reproduction.
Prosub 1000 subwoofer:
Passive Radiator Design:
- The ProSub 1000 features a 300-watt (RMS) amplifier driving a high-excursion 10-inch front-mounted direct-radiating woofer that is pressure-coupled to a 10-inch low-bass passive radiator on the bottom of the enclosure.
- The net radiating area of the ProSub 1000 is 39% greater than a single 12 inch woofer but with better speed, pitch definition, and control.
PowerField Technology Amplifier:
- The ProSub 1000 incorporates Definitive's proprietary PowerField technology, by which the amplifier is specifically engineered in conjunction with the driver for optimum load matching and power transfer characteristics.
- The Definitive ProSub 1000 powered subwoofer incorporates a unique, patented, digitally-coupled infinite power source amplifier with a high-current direct coupled power supply and discrete MOSFET output devices to ensure perfect high-definition resolution and reproduction of the most dynamic program material and demanding sub-bass transients.
- Construction quality is absolutely state-of-the-art, with only the highest quality components used including mil-spec glass epoxy circuit boards and precision resistors and capacitors for many years of faultless superior performance.
High-Definition Subwoofer:
- The powerful, high-definition 10" polymer subwoofer driver is specifically engineered by Definitive Technology to deliver rock-solid low distortion bass, reaching down to the lowest subsonic frequencies (18-150Hz), with superior transient response.
- The special ultra-stiff, low-mass cone (for super-fast transient response) is joined to a specially formulated surround and long-throw voice coil and spider.
- The ultra-rigid basket is engineered to hold the woofer's massive magnet structure and large voice coil in absolute alignment.
- The high temperature voice coil is made of aluminum wound with triple insulated ultra-pure copper wire and baked in epoxy for increased power handling.
Non-Resonant Cabinet:
- The cabinet of a loudspeaker plays a large part in its sonic performance. Resonance and vibration can add unwanted distortion as well as drain away important energy from the system.
- The Definitive Technology ProSub 1000 powered subwoofer utilizes a monocoque cabinet, which has been specifically engineered to be totally inert and vibration free, to ensure you of pure sonic reproduction.
- Monocoque means that the cabinet is of a unitized construction where all panels are permanently joined together into one solid structure.
- The cabinet walls themselves are high-density medite fused together by space-age polymer adhesives.
- The front and rear baffles are extra thick and the cabinet, itself, incorporates multiple internal braces to ensure total solidity.
Protection Circuits:
- The Definitive Technology ProSub 1000 features two protection circuits that ensure that the subwoofer can never be overdriven.
Integrated/Adjustable Feet:
- The ProSub 1000 features four integrated feet with rubber tips so you can place it securely and safely on your home's floor.
- Each foot's height is adjustable to help you place the powered sub on an uneven surface.
Placement:
- The Definitive Technology powered subwoofer has been designed to operate at frequencies generally below 150 Hz.
- Because low-frequency information in this range essentially is non-directional, your subwoofer can be located anywhere in your listening room that is most convenient.
- Also the continuously variable low-pass filter operate at a very fast roll-off, ensuring great performance wherever you place the subwoofer.
- There are, however, some general rules that you should bear in mind when locating the powered sub.
- For maximum output the subwoofer should be placed in a corner or against the wall.
- Corner placement will increase the subwoofer's efficiency, which in turn will increase your system's maximum output and improve the dynamic capability of the subwoofer.
