The Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 is a versatile compact bookshelf or satellite speaker designed for high-definition sound and spacious imaging. It features a proprietary 4-1/2" Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) bass/midrange driver coupled with a 4-1/2" pressure-driven planar low-frequency radiator, and a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter. The speaker is housed in a non-resonant PolyStone cabinet with low diffraction construction and is magnetically shielded for safe placement near electronics. It can be used in 2.0, 2.1, or home theater surround systems, offering rich, warm, and detailed audio with smooth high-frequency reproduction and deep, powerful bass. The speaker includes a removable cloth grille, pedestal foot, and mounting options such as keyhole slots and a threaded insert for wall or ceiling mounting. It is recommended for use with amplifiers from 10 to 150 watts and has a frequency response of 57 Hz to 30 kHz, sensitivity of 89 dB, and an 8-ohm impedance. Dimensions are approximately 8.38" H x 4.75" W x 5" D, weighing about 3 to 4 pounds each. The ProMonitor 800 is part of Definitive Technology's Pro Series and comes with a 5-year warranty.
