efinitive Technology

is known for build-

ing innovative

loudspeakers that

deliver high-end performance at

modest prices, and historically

some of the firm’s most special

products have come in small

packages. One great example

would be the firm’s new $1649

ProCinema 1000 5.1-channel

speaker system.

The deluxe version of the

ProCinema 1000 system consists

of four ProMonitor 1000 mini-

monitors, a ProCenter

2000 center-

channel

speaker,

and a

ProSub

1000 sub-

woofer. At first, the ProCinema

speakers look like truncated,

jet-black versions of Definitive’s

Mythos speakers, though the

designs are different from a

technical standpoint. Sadly,

Definitive’s product styling has

been widely imitated, so that the

lovely ProCinema components

look well finished but not particu-

larly distinctive. From the outside,

the ProCinema system looks

much like any number of other

good, “generic” sat/sub systems

on the market. But once you

hear the ProCinema system,

you’ll know in an instant there is

nothing generic about its sound.

Big Dynamics

This compact system

plays big—very big.

We trotted out our

favorite cinematic

blockbusters—the

“Echo Game” scene

from

House of Flying

Daggers,

“The Flying Boat” scene

from

The Aviator, and the “Under

Attack” scene from Master and

Commander

—and came away

impressed with the way the

system handled this dynamically

demanding material. Many small

systems can play fairly loudly,

but few do so gracefully. The

ProCinema system, however,

almost always kept its composure,

taking large-scale dynamic swells

in stride, even in TPV’s relatively

large audio lab. Only at loony

volume levels did the ProCinema

rig star

t to show traces of hard-

ness and compression.

Innovations that Work

I attribute the system’

s fine

dynamics to two design innova-

tions. First, its speakers introduce

spectacular new mid/bass drivers

whose diaphragms are supported

both by outer and inner suspen-

sion rings (traditional diaphragms

are supported at their outer rims

only), with cylindrical wave-

guides in the center

. These might

be the finest mid/bass drivers

Definitive has ever pr

oduced;

they deliver terrific dynamic

punch with very low distortion.
