    • RMS Power: 100 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
    • Peak Power Handling: 200 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
    • Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 47 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Maximum Frequency Response: 30 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Sensitivity: 90 decibels
    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

Q: Can this be placed on tile floor underneath media cabinet?

A: I am not a sound guru but I have learned a few things over the years with setting up various systems. While you could place this on the floor underneath the media cabinet, i would not place it directly on a tile floor. I believe it would sound much better higher in your media cabinet too.. The closer you can place it to the same height as your head when you when you are listening to it the better I believe it will sound for you.

Q: After reading reviews, no doubt this cc speaker is great for movies/television. Do these also work well for listening to CDs and music in general? Thanks

A: It works very well for music. I play music constantly hardwired and Bluetooth and both are clear with very little distortion as you peak the volume.

Q: I am not connecting to TV. Connecting to receiver with 4 in wall speakers to listen to music. Is this good for that?

A: Sure. This would be fine for that. Just make sure that after you hook up the speaker to your receiver that you run your speaker setup again to balance everything out. This would be connecting the little mic that should have come with your receiver and following the prompts to run through the setup again. I have it hooked up to a 7.2 system and it works very well for me.

Q: Is there a wall mount bracket for this? How do you mount this on the wall?

A: Definitive technology have wall brackets for $49. If they don't have it at Best buy you can order do Best buy or definitive technology

    Bought these to go with my pro monitor 1000

    So if you have a 2 or 2.1 system and you are unsure on how this will help your experience. Here's what I can assure you: Set the settings from your receiver from stereo to digital, pro logic I or II (etc.) and all the sound you hear coming from the front/rear speakers will go straight to the center channel that will now focus on the dialogue, music, bringing it out toward you filling your room and the bookshelf speaker will now purely focus on the background noise. It will truly be worth the investment and will bring you closer to that sound you want for your very own home theater.

    Compact, wide range speaker

    With limited verticle space, I was seeking a compact center channel speaker that could handle the output from a Denon X3000 7.2 amp. It is paired with a set of Klipsch up front. For balance, the amp setting is booster for ProCenter 1000 by about 2 dB over the Klipsch. My comparables are a Sony HT-ST9 Sound Bar and a 20-yr old Infinity with dual 5" drivers. As expected, the ProCenter 1000 is lighter on the audio depth but far superior to the sound bar. Voice clarity is there, but that really depends on the movie sound track (which seems quite variable from Charter cable) with some movies driving more into the bass (subs) and surround tracks; or perhaps I need to twerk my settings a bit more. The fit and finish are superb! Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase.

    Amazing sound for the size

    This smaller speaker will amaze your ears. Whether it is the low whisper of dialog or the high intensity of an action scene the clarity is truly second to none within the size (5 x 5 1/4 x 5) and price point of this speaker. I've found that you can not go wrong with Definitive Technology products.
