About the ProCenter 1000
The Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 is a compact, video-shielded center channel speaker from the ProCinema series, designed for home theater systems. It features two 4-1/2-inch BDSS (Balanced Double Surround System) bass/midrange drivers pressure-coupled to two 4-1/2-inch planar low-frequency radiators on the sides, paired with a 1-inch pure aluminum dome tweeter. This configuration delivers crystal-clear dialogue, high-impact sound effects, and extended bass response in a small footprint. Housed in a non-resonant PolyStone cabinet with low diffraction, it ensures lifelike sound with minimal distortion. Ideal for placement near TVs due to magnetic shielding, it supports Dolby Surround and Digital decoding, making it a key component for movie soundtracks where up to 75% of audio comes through the center channel. Available in gloss black finish with optional wall-mounting.
