## Description

From the Manufacturer The ProCenter 1000 is Definitive's mid-sized center speaker in the acclaimed ProCinema Series. A ProCenter 1000 along with four ProCenter 800s or ProMonitor 1000s and a matching ProSub makes a complete ProCinema 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. Enjoy warm, life-like sound from a small center channel speaker High-definition Balanced Double Surround System technology drivers (available in black or white) Built-in foot allows for perfect angle adjustment. View larger Don't let the ProCenter 1000's small size and affordable price fool you -- it is a remarkably sophisticated product with huge sound. The 1000 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 SoundCompeting 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 MuscleAs 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 we lavished extra attention on the ProCenter 1000. It features 2 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 UseSmall enough to disappear in a room but beautiful when in plain view, the ProCenter 1000 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 (sold separately).The SoundThe ProCenter 1000 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.Technical SpecificationsDimensions: 14.75 by 5 by 5 inches (W x H x D)Nominal impedance: 4 to 8 ohmsFrequency response: 47 Hz to 30 kHzRecommended amplification: 10 to 200 wattsEfficiency: 90 dBDriver complement: 2 x 4.5" bass/midrange drivers; 2 x 4.5" planar low-frequency radiators; 1 x 1" aluminum dome tweeterMagnetic shielding: YesFinish: Gloss black Product Description Definitive has always LED the industry with the best-sounding shielded center channels available. Optimum surround sound home theater reproduction places heavy demands on the center channel speaker, which in many respects is the main speaker in the system and often handles 50% or more of the program material. It is no place to compromise and settle for second best. Because of this, definitive pioneered the concept of full frequency range high-definition center-channel speakers. Definitive's center channels and C/L/RS are consistently rated as the best available, and have won numerous audio video Grand Prix center channel of the year Awards each and every year.

Review: Great combination, big sound good price - We recently had to replace our much loved JBL wireless sub that we thought was a great sub. It was replaced with the Definitive Technology SuperCube 4000 for which I have not yet posted a review but check it out in a day or so as I can tell you it will get 5 stars. Getting the new sub for some reason inspired me to go about replacing the whole surround sound system which was, or partially still is an older, maybe 12 years old Bose Accoustimass 5.1 system which I didn't think I'd ever give up. Well, I decided to by to Definitive Technology BP6B's floor standing Bipolar speakers. Again, I invite you to check there in a day or so for my 5 star review. Okay, now on to the Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000 center channel speaker. After a few days of listening to the new speakers mentioned above along with the remaining Bose center and satalites my wife said she thought we could really benefit from a new center channel speaker because she felt that the tiny Bose speaker was lacking in the full sometimes warm sound especially when listening to male voices. That same feeling also seems to affect female voices as they can sound too shrill or just missing out on some lower midrange that makes it sound great. I began comparing all of the Def Tech center channel speakers omitting some that were out of our affordability. It came down to the ProMonitor1000 and 2000 models. I chose the 1000 for several reasons. The 2000 was a bit large for where it needed to be placed and wall mounting it was not an option. We have a fairly mid sized living area and I felt that the 1000 would be more than adequate at handling the duty of a center channel speaker. Price wasn't really a big problem when comparing it to the 2000 but since I didn't feel that we needed a larger speaker that we really didn't have the room for the 1000 was my choice. Well, it arrived and we set it up a few days ago and we were totally blown away by the difference it made. We of course used the automatic speaker setup feature of our Pioneer receiver and accepted those settings making no changes. When we used the Bose speaker I sat listening trying to imagine what I thought it should sound like and that is very difficult to do. We have to give the highest marks to the 1000's as they do exactly what I would expect a great center channel speaker do. It is very hard to describe what has changed with the sound. Since we had a little time to use the floor standing BP's with the Bose we are convinced that the PM 1000 changed the sound field that was being produced for the center channel dramatically. Some male voices have a certain husky sound to them and others just need to sound deep and warm. The PM 1000 brought that to life and we sat for hours listening to all sorts of program types from music to movies. The midrange speakers along with the tweeter really helped to bring out all of the mid and upper frequencies needed for female voices whether they are speaking dialogue or singing. The sound is truly amazing. Unless you have a fairly large area that you are trying to fill with sound this speaker should do well at creating accurately the sound that you should expect to hear from a center channel speaker. A large listening area might require the PM2000 which a little bit larger. Definitive Technology is the company to buy from and desertcart is an authorized dealer. I also advise that you buy from an authorized dealer and that information can be gotten from their web page.
Review: Believe what you've read! - After endless searching, I found the one. Recently I've decided it's time for an upgrade of my surround system. I recently bought an Onkyo receiver and am upgrading my speakers one by one and thought I'd begin with the centre channel speaker. After searching for many hours and reading many reviews, constantly skipping over Definitive Technology I decided I'd read into the brand. Many people on here seem blown away by the performance and price of this speaker, so I decided to give it a shot! As I live in Australia, I took a risk and bought it without listening to it first. It arrived a week earlier then expected, so I pulled it out and hooked it up, replacing my previous cheap centre speaker. I began watching TV and then a good action movie. WOW... It's loud! My previous centre speaker had to be turned up quite a bit, I had to turn this centre speaker down a lot just so it didn't drain out my cheap (but pretty good sounding) floor standing speakers. I realise this speaker will take a long time to break in (50 hours I've read) but straight out of the box from my experience, it is superb quality and sounds great. It's also a lot smaller then most centre speakers so it fits almost anywhere perfectly. The dialogue was very crisp and clean and didn't sound muffled at all. The sound fills the room and carries quite a distance which is all I want from a centre channel speaker. To summarise, this speaker sounds great and it's LOUD. It makes my floor standers sound, well.. crappy. I'm going to purchase all Definitive Technology speakers to complete my new set up. You won't be disappointed at the price and sound of this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Specs indicate "nominal impedance: 4 to 8 ohms." I don't understand the variable impedance.My amp has a 6 ohm min requirement. Will this work?**
A: impedance fluctuates  as the speaker plays.  most amps that i'm familiar with will easily play speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms to 8 ohms.  check the specs on the amp again, and call the manufacturer to find out for sure if the amp will only play from 6 to 8 ohms,  very unusual

**Q: Torn between this procenter 1000 and polk s35 - which one would be more accurate sounding (for movies)?**
A: Definitive pro 1000 by far.

**Q: How do i take it apart to replace driver, i have taken out all screens that i am able to locate?**
A: Ouch. I thought the screws were on the bottom... I cannot pull mine off the wall to check.

**Q: Did i place an order?**
A: Yes, I ordered a pair to serve as compact stereo speakers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plays nicely with Q Acoustics 3000i series speakers
*by R***F on April 6, 2025*

The Q Acoustics 3000i series was being discontinued as I purchased its tower and surround speakers. Couldn't find the 3090ci center channel anywhere for a decent price to round out my home theater setup. SO, I tried the Procenter 1000 after extensively reading online reviews. Most mentioned clear dialogue and capable all-around sound for music and t.v. shows, especially for its modest price and dimensions. And some noted its compatibility with other speaker brands. It sounds fantastic in my smallish living room. Importantly, it complements the Q Acoustics speakers. I could be missing timbre discrepancies that serious audiophiles might object to. But I pay attention more than many, and appreciate what I'm hearing with the Procenter 1000. My opinion: Give it a try! Five stars *****.
