Definitive
has always led the industry with the best-sounding shielded
center channels available. Optimum surround sound home theater
reproduction places heavy demands on the center channel speaker,
which in many respects is the main speaker in the system
and often handles 50% or more of the program material. It
is no place to compromise and settle for second best. Because
of this, Definitive pioneered the concept of full frequency
range high-definition center-channel speakers. Definitive's
center channels and C/L/Rs are consistently rated as the
best available, and have won numerous Audio Video Grand Prix
Center Channel of the Year Awards each and every year.
Our current offerings are the best ever, all
featuring wide frequency response and extended dynamic range
with extraordinary detail and articulation. (The C/L/Rs are
also superb as matching center, left and right channel speakers
and can be positioned horizontally or vertically.) All feature
non-resonant monocoque cabinets with Linkwitz-Riley crossover
networks, pure aluminum dome tweeters and die-cast-basket
bass/midrange drivers in D'Appolito arrays.
Definitive builds eight magnetically shielded
center channel and C/L/R (Center/Left/Right) speakers (C/L/R
3000, C/L/R 2500, C/L/R
2300, C/L/R 2002, ProCenter
2000, and ProCenter 1000). All Definitive center
channels and C/L/Rs are designed with the same rigid standards
and high performance goals as our main left and right front
speakers. They include state-of-the-art features like high-definition
polymer coned cast-basket bass/midrange drivers with butyl
rubber surrounds, wide dispersion pure aluminum dome tweeters
with magnetic fluid cooling, complex Linkwitz-Riley crossover
networks, solid non-resonant monocoque cabinets with diffractionless
grill/baffle interfaces and effective magnetic shielding
incorporating both metal shield and dual field canceling
magnets. All center channels and C/L/Rs have been voiced
(timbre-matched) with the same sonic signature as all of
Definitive's front main speakers. They will also, because
of their true full-range quality and linear response, often
provide better performance and do a better job matching other
companies' main speakers than their own. of course, as you
move up in the Definitive line, the overall performance improves,
especially in the areas of dynamic range, extended linear
response, fullness and clarity. All are Dolby Digital AC-3*
ready.

Revolutionary Power
C/L/Rs with Built-in Powered Subwoofers Make a Dramatic Audible
Difference
The revolutionary new C/L/R 3000, C/L/R 2500
and C/L/R 2300 feature powerful built-in powered subwoofers
driven by our Infinite Power Source Technology amplifiers.
Their upward-firing long-throw woofers only require 1" of
clearance, so they work perfectly whether you open-mount
your center channel or put it in a cabinet. Remember: The
purpose of putting a subwoofer in the center channel, beyond
putting more bass energy into the room, is really to add
full range bass and sub-bass capability to the center channel
itself. The difference this makes is absolutely audible and
very dramatic. This gives you a truly full dynamic range
capable/full frequency range capable center channel, which
allows you to set the center channel setting on your Dolby
Digital decoder to large and fully realize the performance
potential of the full range center channel program material
as it was intended to be reproduced by the director.
Using Three Matched C/L/Rs
Across the Front
Because of their superb full-range response
and quality of reproduction, the C/L/Rs may be used as matching
left main, center, and right speakers when installation requirements
dictate this type of system. They may be placed either horizontally
or vertically. In fact, the C/L/Rs were designed with this
very much in mind and offer truly incredible dynamic range,
high-definition clarity, extended linear response, three-dimensional
pinpoint imaging and overall performance which is truly state-of-the-art
for music and home theater reproduction. Our C/L/R based
home theater systems have won many honors including Sound & Vision's
prestigious Critic's Choice Award. And a C/L/R based system
using our Powered C/L/Rs with built-in subwoofers (C/L/R
3000, C/L/R 2500, C/L/R 2300) either with or without a separate
outboard subwoofer is absolutely stupendous and offers the
absolute state-of-the-art performance for shelf, in cabinet,
and custom built-in systems.
