ProCinema 600 Subwoofer/Satellite System--An Affordable Miracle!
The ProCinema 600 System is Definitive's most affordable 6-piece home theater system incorporating 4 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 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 250-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 instantlyhear what we mean. The ProCinema satellites avoid this critical problem by pressure-coupling our exclusive Balanced Double Surround System (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 600'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 600's subwoofer features a 250 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 600 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 Sound
Sonically, the new ProCinema 600 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 and unheard of in this price range. The 600 system is dynamic but capable of great subtlety so it excels equally with music or movies.
5.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver
With 5.1 channels of high-current low-distortion amplification, a whopping six 4K/60 Hz-capable HDMI 2.0 inputs for all your media players and game consoles, and Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ decoding, you can experience the full slam of high-resolution surround-sound entertainment any time you want. A massive high-current transformer and fully discrete hi-fi amplifiers pump out audio performance way beyond anything you would expect from an A/V receiver at this price, with superbly clear and detailed sound for TV, movies, games, and music. Throw in onboard Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR with DSP optimization for wireless audio streaming from your smartphone or PC and a rear-panel USB for hi-res and lossless digital music, and the enormous value of this package becomes obvious. A powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use hub for all your media sources, the TX-SR333 is the ideal entry point to exhilarating entertainment in your listening space.
Onkyo’s Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) is designed for high current delivery. High instantaneous current is needed to maintain control of the speaker drivers for precise yet musical audio reproduction, from delicate piano passages to the thunderous roar of an action movie soundtrack. Backed by a massive high-output transformer, the amplifiers feature a discrete low-impedance output stage (not a cheap integrated circuit) with high-current transistors for instantaneous power and very low distortion. The resulting sound is detailed, dynamic, and highly realistic for both stereo and multichannel listening.
Imagine displaying the latest blockbuster PC games on your Ultra HDTV at a breathtaking 60 frames per second. Now add powerful 5.1-channel surround-sound from Onkyo. With every HDMI terminal on your TX-SR333 receiver supporting 4K/60 Hz, all this and more is possible. Even if you’re not planning on upgrading your current display right away, it’s good to know your Onkyo receiver is ready for the future.
Stream almost any audio you like from your smartphone, tablet, or PC to your home theater for clear and powerful hi-fi playback. Everything from albums on YouTube to your device’s MP3 library is smoothly transmitted via Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, with an Advanced Music Optimizer function compensating for lower-quality compressed audio.
If you prefer a wired connection, the rear-panel USB port is ready to accept a range of audio formats from mass-storage class disks. As well as MP3, AAC, and WMA, you can play FLAC and WAV up to 192 kHz/24-bit resolution as well as WMA Lossless, Apple Lossless, and 5.6 MHz DSD. Alternatively, you can connect your PC, smartphone, tablet, or media player via the digital or analog audio inputs.
Video switching is easy with InstaPrevue™ technology. Select InstaPrevue via the Home Menu and video thumbnails showing what’s playing on devices connected via HDMI are overlaid on screen. As well as being a fast and intuitive way to switch sources, it’s also great for keeping an eye on the cable sports channel while you’re playing a console game, for example.
The Zone 2 line-level output lets you enjoy music from the source devices connected to your A/V receiver via the analog audio inputs in another area of your home. If you have a power amp and a pair of speakers lying around, you could set them up in your kitchen, garage, or even out on the deck and listen to CDs and radio playing via your A/V receiver.
