Definitive Technology ProCenter 2000 Compact Center Speaker (Black)

Product Description
The compact and versatile ProCenter 2000 is a revelation in sound that reproduces crystal-clear dialogue and true-to-life sound effects. This world-class center channel loudspeaker uses identical BDSS drivers pressure-coupled to a pair of equally-sized mid/bass radiators and a pure aluminum dome tweeter to produce rich, warm, lifelike audio and smooth high-frequency response. Understated yet remarkably sophisticated, the center channel can be placed on a shelf, on top of a TV or mounted on a wall. The speaker is voice-matched with Definitive’s complete ProCinema series, and can be paired with any surround or subwoofer in that series for a complete ProCinema Hi-Fi sound system.

Don’t let the ProCenter 2000’s small size and affordable price fool you–it is a remarkably sophisticated product with huge sound. The 2000 incorporates many of the same technologies as Definitive’s top-of-the-line models including BDSS drivers, pure aluminum dome tweeters, and planar pressure coupled mid/bass radiators for home theater sound quality that will astound you.
Bass radiators enhance low frequency performance for more true-to-life sound
The Secret to Its Big Sound
Competing center channel speakers of this size usually have weak lower-midrange response, that part of the audio range that contains the “warmth” and “body” of voices and musical instruments. Listen to a male vocal on typical small satellite speakers and you will instantly hear the weakness in the lower midrange. The ProCenter avoids this critical problem by pressure-coupling exclusive BDSS technology drivers to two equal-sized mid/bass radiators cleverly placed on the sides of the speaker. This technique doubles the lower-midrange/bass radiating area of the speaker without increasing the size of the enclosure. You’ll enjoy the kind of rich, warm and life-like sound quality that you thought was only possible with big, hard-to-place speakers.
Center Channel Muscle
As much as 75% of a movie’s soundtrack is played by the center channel loudspeaker making it arguably the most important speaker in a home theater system. It is the key to getting intelligible dialog and true-to-life sound effects. So extra attention was lavished on the ProCenter 2000. It features two of the same BDSS drivers as used in ProMonitor 800 satellites along with 2 mid/bass radiators on the sides of the enclosure, allowing it to play loud and clear with high tonal accuracy.
Easy to Place, Easy to Use
Small enough to disappear in a room but beautiful when in plain view, the ProCenter 2000 can be mounted on a shelf or on top of a TV. Its built-in foot allows you to adjust the angle of the speaker in the vertical plane to aim the speaker at listener’s ear height. Or you can wall mount it using two optional ProMount 80 articulating wall mounts.
The Sound
The ProCenter 2000 is a revelation in terms of achieving incredible sound at an affordable price. It fulfills with aplomb its most important job of delivering perfectly clear and intelligible dialog to every listener in the room. It dishes out high impact sound effects with distortion-free dynamics but is also capable of great subtlety to excel equally with music or movies.
