Know before you buy
The center channel is responsible for the majority of dialogue and on-screen action in a movie. A dedicated speaker like the ProCenter 1000 ensures voices remain clear and anchored to the screen, preventing them from getting lost in the background music or sound effects.
With dimensions of 5 inches high by 14.25 inches wide, it is designed to fit easily on most standard TV stands or shelves. Its compact footprint makes it a versatile choice for setups where space is limited.
Yes, the ProCenter 1000 includes a built-in wall-mount option. This is ideal if you have a wall-mounted television and want to keep your center channel positioned directly below or above the screen for a clean, streamlined look.
The dual passive radiators work in tandem with the active woofers to move more air, which allows the speaker to produce deeper, more impactful bass than its compact size would otherwise suggest. This helps create a fuller, more balanced soundstage.
The PolyStone material is acoustically inert, meaning it is designed to be rigid and vibration-free. By minimizing cabinet resonance, it ensures that the sound you hear is clean and accurate, rather than colored by the speaker housing itself.
