Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000 Speaker for Home Theater (Single, Black)

The ProMonitor 1000 stands out as a remarkably sophisticated speaker, delivering sound quality that rivals much larger models. This innovative speaker merges advanced Definitive Technology features to enhance your home theater experience. It incorporates a proprietary BDSS driver paired with a pressure-driven low-frequency radiator, a pure aluminum dome tweeter, and a non-resonant PolyStone cabinet, collectively producing rich, warm, and lifelike audio, along with smooth high-frequency reproduction.

Compact enough to be discreet yet attractive enough to be displayed, the ProMonitor 1000 provides versatile placement options. You can easily position it on a shelf, mount it on a wall, or use it on a stand. Within the highly regarded Pro Series, the ProMonitor 1000 is recognized as the finest satellite speaker, which, when paired with the ProCenter 2000 and the matching ProSub, creates a complete ProCinema sound system.

As Definitive's largest and most outstanding satellite speaker in the acclaimed Pro Series, the ProMonitor 1000 truly impresses. A full ProCinema 1000 system can be assembled with four ProMonitor 1000s, a ProCenter 2000, and a ProSub 1000, forming a powerful audio solution tailored to your preferences. Each component can be purchased separately, allowing you to customize your system with Pro Series components that best fit your individual needs.

Don't underestimate the ProMonitor 1000's compact size and affordable price; it provides an impressive sound experience. It features many technologies found in Definitive's higher-end models, such as BDSS drivers, pure aluminum dome tweeters, and planar pressure-coupled mid/bass radiators. This combination ensures that the sound quality will leave your friends and family amazed during their first listen.

Typically, satellite speakers of this size struggle with lower midrange response, which often lacks the “warmth” and “body” typical of human voices and musical instruments. When listening to male vocals on standard small satellite speakers, you’ll quickly perceive the deficiency in the lower midrange. The ProMonitor 1000 addresses this issue using the exclusive BDSS technology, which pressure-couples the driver to a mid/bass radiator cleverly located on the top of the speaker. This design effectively increases the speaker's lower midrange radiating area without enlarging the enclosure, allowing you to experience rich, warm sound that you may have thought only larger speakers could provide.

The ProMonitor 1000 may vanish in a room, but its beauty also makes it suitable for display. With its unique tri-lobed base, it can be shelf-mounted, wall-mounted using the built-in keyhole mount, or attached via optional ProMount 90 articulating pivot wall mounts (sold separately).

In terms of performance, the ProMonitor 1000 delivers outstanding audio quality at an accessible price point. Its imaging is remarkably spacious and three-dimensional, providing pinpoint specificity and localization when needed. The smoothness of the sound gives the impression of being present at the recording, a quality that’s hard to find at any price, let alone in this affordable range. The ProMonitor 1000 excels in both dynamic ranges and subtle nuances, making it ideal for an array of music and movie genres.

Features include an 11-inch tall design with a 5-1/4" BDSS driver, a 5-1/4" pressure-driven planar low-frequency radiator, and a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter that together yield detailed audio, exceptional sound quality, and deep, powerful bass. The design reflects Definitive Technology's engineering excellence, effectively filling any room with immersive three-dimensional surround sound.

Whether used as standalone speakers in a 2.0 channel system, part of a 2.1 channel setup with a powered subwoofer, or as satellite surround speakers in your existing home theater, the ProMonitor 1000 adapts seamlessly to various configurations. You can create a thrilling and immersive cinematic experience by combining it with the ProCenter 1000 center channel and ProSub 1000 subwoofer, while also utilizing 4 to 8 ProMonitor 800 speakers for a complete ProCinema 1000 system.

For placement, the included pedestal foot ensures secure positioning on shelves or ProStands (sold separately). Additionally, the speaker incorporates a rear-panel keyhole slot or a 1/4"-20 threaded insert for versatile wall or ceiling mounting.
