Definitive Technology Pro Cinema 800 System Black Review
The Definitive Technology Pro Cinema 800 System Black is a great choice for anyone looking for high-quality sound. The system delivers clear, high definition performance from exclusive BDSS drivers and has a 300-watt powered subwoofer for high impact bass. The pressure-coupled mid/bass radiators create warm, rich low end and the satellites and center speaker can be shelf or wall mounted for convenience. Users have reported that the speakers produce a huge sound from small, easy to place and use satellite speakers.
There have been some reported issues with the subwoofer being underpowered and not keeping up with the rest of the system at high volumes. Some users have also noted that the speakers may not be the best choice for music, as they lack the musical quality of larger floor-standing speakers. However, overall the Pro Cinema 800 System is a great package for a mid-size room home theater and provides balanced, clear, and accurate imaging that users have been very happy with.
Pros:
- Clear, high definition sound from exclusive BDSS technology drivers
- 300-watt powered subwoofer with two 8” cones for high impact bass
- Pressure-coupled mid/bass radiators create warm, rich low end
- Huge speaker sound from small, easy to place and use satellite speakers
- Satellites and center speaker can be shelf or wall mounted
Cons:
- Subwoofer may be underpowered and not keep up with the rest of the system at high volumes
- Speakers may lack the musical quality of larger floor-standing speakers
FAQ
Product FAQ:
Q: Do speaker wires come with the Definitive Technology Pro Cinema 800 System?
A: No, speaker wire is not included with the speakers. We recommend using 14 gauge copper speaker wire for front/side speakers, and 16 gauge for the long-haul (from my amp) to my rear speakers.
Q: Can this speaker system work with Dolby Atmos?
A: Yes, if you add two ceiling speakers, it will work fine. Atmos-enabled speakers have an upward firing driver to simulate the presence of ceiling overhead channels.
Q: How can I turn this system into a 7.1 system?
A: The receiver has to have capability of doing 7.1. Then you need to add 2 additional speakers to the Pro Cinema 800 system. Placement of the speakers depends on you and where you want the sound to be.
Q: What is the difference between the Pro Cinema 800 and the Pro Cinema 600 packages?
A: The Pro Cinema 800 series has more power than the Pro Cinema 600 series. They have 4.5 inch drivers in the satellite speakers and more power on the amp for the sub with a higher excursion. The Pro Cinema 600 series has 3.5 inch speakers or cone area. The Pro Cinema 600 would be well suited for an apartment or small room whereas the Pro Cinema 800 is better suited for larger rooms and higher power handling.
Q: Can anyone suggest the best pairing receivers for Procenter 1000 and 800 L/R?
A: We recommend Onkyo Rz series. Onkyo Txrz810 is a great option that sounds really good for both music and movies.
Q: I have the Procinema 400. What speaker wires should I buy?
A: We recommend using 16 to 18 ASWG speaker wires.
Q: Can these fill a 22x22 living room? Do I need to go for 7.1 by adding 2 extra ProMon800s?
