ProMonitor 800 Satellites—the heart of a spectacular Home Theater speaker
system
The ProMonitor 800 is Definitive’s “Better” satellite speaker in
the acclaimed Pro Series. Four ProMonitor 800s along with a ProCenter 1000 and
ProSub 800 makes a complete ProCinema 800 system. All the components of the
system are packed and sold separately allowing you to mix and match Pro Series
components to build the system that best suits your needs.
Don’t let the ProMonitor 800’s small size and affordable price fool you—it is
a remarkably sophisticated product with huge sound. The 800 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 shock your friends and family
when they hear your system for the first time.
The Secret to Their Big Sound
Competing satellite 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
what we mean. The ProMonitor satellites avoid this critical problem by
pressure-coupling our 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. 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.
Easy to Place, Easy to Use
Small enough to disappear in a room but
beautiful when in plain view the 800 satellites can be shelf-mounted with their
unique tri-lobed base, wall-mounted using the built-in keyhole mount or optional
ProMount 80 articulating pivot mounts or stand mounted with their optional
ProStand 600/800 floor stands.
The Sound
Sonically, the ProMonitor 800 satellite is a revelation
in terms of achieving incredible sound at an affordable price. Their imaging is
absolutely boxless, spacious and three dimensional while delivering pinpoint
specificity and localization when called for. They are velvety smooth with
you-are-there presence which is hard to find at any price and unheard of in this
price range. The 800 is dynamic but capable of great subtlety so it excels
equally with music or movies.
