ProCinema 400 Subwoofer / Satellite System – Easy To Place, Easy to Enjoy
The ProCinema 400 System is a 6-piece home theater system, incorporating four identical, easy to place satellite speakers for front and surround channels, a matching center channel loudspeaker, and a robust powered subwoofer. But don’t let its small size and affordable price fool you—the ProCinema 400 is a remarkably sophisticated product with huge sound. The system’s components incorporate many of the same technologies as Definitive’s top-of-the-line models, including drivers with butyl rubber surrounds, pure aluminum dome tweeters, planar pressure coupled mid/bass radiators, and a 150-Watt powered subwoofer. The result is home theater sound quality that will astound your friends and family when they hear your system.

Superior Components and Bass Radiator Technology Deliver Better Sound
How does the ProCinema 400 system sound so good, despite its small size and modest price? One key factor is the performance of the small satellite speakers. Most small satellites lack warmth and body, sounding “thin” and reedy when vocal music is played. The ProCinema 400 satellites have mid-bass drivers featuring butyl rubber surrounds, for long excursion without distortion. Butyl rubber surrounds cancel excessive energy within the driver, and last for years.
The driver is pressure-coupled to a 3 ½ inch lower midrange radiator, which is mounted at the top of the satellite cabinet. The lower midrange radiator extends the bass response of the driver, to smoothly meet the subwoofer’s upper-end response. You get rich, full sound from easy to place cabinets.

Center channel excellence
The center channel speaker is the most important speaker in a home theater setup. As much as 75% of a movie’s soundtrack is played by the center channel speaker, including the crucial dialog and mid-screen special effects. The ProCinema 400’s center channel boasts twin 3 ½ inch mid-bass drivers for room-filling sound, and a ¾” pure aluminum tweeter for smooth, extended high frequencies. The drivers are pressure-coupled to a pair of side-firing, 3 ½ inch lower-midrange radiators, for smooth, extended frequency response that mates beautifully with the system’s subwoofer for cohesive, exciting home theater and music.

Big bass from a small box
What is home theater without powerful, authoritative bass? Music and movie soundtracks convey their emotion, pace and rhythm through the subwoofer. The ProCinema 400’s compact, powerful subwoofer features a 8” driver and 150-Watt amplifier, for the kind of explosive special effects and full-range music that make your home entertainment system fun and exciting to listen to. A custom-designed, down-firing port enhances the rich bass performance.

Easily integrates into your home
These small satellites are beautifully styled, with high-gloss black lacquer finish and curves worthy of an Italian sportscar. Their compact cabinets can be shelf-mounted with their detachable bases; wall mounted, using the rear integrated key-hole, or wall mounted using the optional ProMount 80 pivot mount.

The sound
The new ProCinema 400 system is an amazing value. It offers a broad, expansive soundstage, with powerful bass and clean, clear mid and high frequencies, at an unheard-of price. Never before has Definitive Technology been able to offer this level of performance for music and movie listening in such an affordable package.

Amateur reflections on this high-tech system.

Using this system in a custom way, not as a true surround setting or placement of speakers, is perhaps not a good guideline for other potential buyers of this product. In a limited space, without the capability of placing the speakers around the room, the system has a maximum separation of units, of only 8 feet. Still, the sound is very good, especially when the sound input carries a wide range, from deep bass to delicate high pitches. The less desirable features are the "nerdy" remote, with so many options that one can accidentally depress a button setting the system off on a wild change that may take an hour to find and correct, and the manual nature of setting it up, that is clearly not for amateurs like me.
