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 800 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 BDSS drivers, pure aluminum dome tweeters, planar pressure coupled mid/bass radiators and a 300-Watt powered subwoofer for home theater sound quality that will astound your friends and family when they hear your system for the first time.
The Secret to Their Big Sound
Competing satellite speakers of this size usually have weak lower-midrange response; that part of the audio range that contains the "warmth" and "body" of voices and musical instruments. Listen to a male vocal on typical small satellite speakers and you will instantly hear what we mean. The ProCinema satellites avoid this critical problem by pressure-coupling our exclusive BDSS technology driver to an equal-sized mid/bass radiator cleverly placed on the top of the satellite. This technique doubles the lower-midrange radiating area of the speaker without increasing the size of the enclosure. You'll enjoy the kind of rich, warm and life-like sound quality that you thought was only possible with big, hard to place speakers.

Center Channel Muscle
As much as 75% of a movie's soundtrack is played by the center channel loudspeaker making it arguably the most important speaker in a home theater system. It is the key to getting intelligible dialog and true-to-life sound effects. So we lavished extra attention on the ProCinema 800's center speaker. It features 2 of the same BDSS drivers as the satellites along with 2 mid/bass radiators on the sides of the enclosure, allowing it to play loud and clear with high tonal accuracy.
Big Beefy Bass
The Low Frequency Effects of a movie's soundtrack bring excitement, realism and just plain fun to action, adventure and sci-fi movies. Worry not, Definitive has bass down pat. The ProCinema 800's subwoofer features a 300 Watt amplifier driving a high excursion 8 inch woofer that is pressure-coupled to an 8 inch Low Bass radiator on the bottom of the enclosure. The net radiating area of the 600 sub is 27% greater than a single 10 inch woofer but with better speed, pitch definition and control.

Easy to Place, Easy to Use
Small enough to disappear in a room but beautiful when in plain view the 800 satellites can be shelf-mounted with their unique tri-lobed base, wall-mounted using the built-in keyhole mount or optional ProMount 80 pivot mount or stand mounted with their optional floor stands. The center channel speaker has an adjustable foot for shelf mounting or can be wall-mounted using two optional ProMount 80 articulating brackets.
To make adjusting the subwoofer's output as easy as possible we placed the sub volume control on the side of the subwoofer's enclosure.
The Incredible Sound
Sonically, the ProCinema 800 System is a revelation in terms of achieving incredible sound at an affordable price. Their imaging is absolutely boxless, spacious and three dimensional while delivering pinpoint specificity and localization when called for. They are velvety smooth with you-are-there presence which is hard to find at any price

"breathtaking sound"
I've read about Definitive Technology speakers for years in audio magazines, both in advertisements and reviews. When I purchased a new receiver I decided to get a ProCinema 800 system to go along with it.
To say that I am absolutely blown away by these speakers is a gross understatement. They have some of the most "non speaker-like" sound I've ever experienced. Nothing sounds as if it's actually coming from the speaker; a truly amazing feat indeed. The small 8" subwoofer is exceptionally powerful, pumping out enormous amounts of bass when decoding Dolby TruHD or DTS-HD Master soundtracks from Blu-ray discs. The ProCinema 800s continue to impress me with each new listening experience.
I've waited for these speakers far too long, and they'll stay a part of my home system for many years to come. I congratulate your company for creating an affordable (and beautiful) system with such breathtaking sound.
You've succeeded in making me a Definitive Technology convert for life.
"The guitars were 'in the room.' Definitive speakers are just incredible to me."
Nearly 15 years ago, I went to the local high end audio store to audition speakers for my first home theater system. I listened carefully, switching between many different brands of speakers, and without question, there was something special about the Definitives. I was drawn to the BP8's, which created a truly lifelike soundstage-I closed my eyes, and I really experienced what reviewers mean when they say it sounded like the band was in the room. I had to have them, along with a C1 center, BPX surrounds, and a PowerField 15 subwoofer.
In the interest of keeping my story short and sweet, I will say this
