Know before you buy
No, the ProMonitor 800 is a passive speaker. You will need to connect it to an external receiver or amplifier to power it.
Yes, its compact size and versatile design make it an excellent choice for surround sound channels in a home theater setup, or as a main speaker in smaller rooms.
The 4.25-inch passive radiator works in tandem with the active driver to extend low-frequency response, providing deeper, more impactful bass than you would typically expect from a speaker of this size.
These speakers are designed for desktop or shelf placement. While they are compact and easy to integrate into existing furniture, ensure they are placed on a stable surface to maintain audio clarity.
Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) technology allows the driver to produce a longer excursion for greater bass output while maintaining the precision and detail of a smaller driver, resulting in a more balanced sound profile.
