Please Inspect For Shipping Damage
Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible
or concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left
our plant and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer
or the shipping company which delivered your loudspeaker.
ProCenter Shielded Center Channel Speaker
Your Definitive Technology ProCenter is a compact high definition loudspeaker
system designed for use in audio/video systems of the highest quality. Because of its
low profile, wide range, high power handling and articulate clarity, it is ideal for use
as a center channel in conjunction with Dolby Surround Sound ProLogic and Dolby
Digital AC-3 decoding.
Connecting Your Loudspeakers
It is critical for proper performance that all speakers (left, right and center) be
connected in proper phase. Note that one terminal on each speaker (the +) is colored
red and the other (the -) is colored black. Please make certain that you connect the
red (+) terminal on each speaker to the red (+) terminal of its channel on your
amplifier or receiver, and the black (-) terminal to the black (-) terminal. It is
essential that all speakers be connected in the same way to the amplifier (in phase).
If you experience a great lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase
with the others.
Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at loud
levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not
driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember,
most amplifiers put out their full rated power well before the volume control
is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud,
turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one.
Speaker Break-In
Your ProCenter should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended
break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller
bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.
Positioning the ProCenter in Your Room
For Center Channel Use
Your ProCenter should be placed on above or below the TV.
ProCenter Vertical Angle Adjustment
Your ProCenter loudspeaker has a simple built-in devise which allows you to
adjust the vertical angle of the speaker. Please note that on the rear/center/underside
of the speaker there is a foot. When you set the speaker down, the speaker will ealn
back and rest on the foot. By varying how far you screw in the foot, you can adjust
the vertical angle of the speaker. We suggest that you aim the speaker so that it aims
directly towards the height of the listeners’ ears.
Wall Mounting the Pr
Your ProCenter has two threaded inserts on the back, which can be used with a pair
of optional ProMounts to mount the ProCenter on the wall. Use toggle bolts or other
similar fasteners to hold the ProMount to the wall. Do not use unanchored screws in
2
the wall.
