If you want big, detailed home theater sound, but don't have the room for large floor-standing speakers, then check out Polk's ultra-compact Blackstone TL2. Thanks to Polk's decades of speaker-building expertise, along with some pretty advanced driver technology, you'll experience effortlessly clear, engaging sound from speakers that take up very little space.

Advanced technology produces astonishingly realistic sound
The "TL" refers to Polk's "Time Lens" technology, which aligns the drivers in such a way that high- and low-frequency sounds all reach your ears at the same time. This improves the speaker's imaging and soundstaging, so that you'll feel less like you're watching a movie and more like you're part of it. An "acoustic lens" in the speaker grille disperses sound waves in a way that makes your music and movie soundtracks sound larger and more open. The TL2 also features Polk's acclaimed PowerPort® technology to help reinforce bass output. Plus, its sturdy cabinet is reinforced with a steel plate to help fight resonances that can muddy the sound.

Easy speaker placement
The TL2 has a keyhole slot in the back for easy mounting to your wall straight from the box. You can also use the threaded insert to attach it to an optional speaker bracket or stand. Create your own home theater system using a combination of black TL2's in the front of your room and white TL2 surrounds in the back. Don't forget to add the TL2 center channel speaker and a Polk subwoofer to complete your system.

Driver Technology

Dynamic Balance Driver Technology: Polk Audio's patented Dynamic Balance process allows Polk to design their drivers specifically for flatter frequency response, revealing the sharpest details and a more lifelike transparency, with absolutely no strain even at high volume. It's a bold, rich, warm, and lifelike sound.

Time Lens Technology: The sophisticated laser alignment of the "acoustic center" of the Blackstone TL2 tweeters with their accompanying drivers results in far superior imaging. The acoustic centers of the tweeter and mid-range woofer are aligned, creating a crisp accurate soundstage. The acoustic centers of the tweeter and mid-bass driver are located in the same plane for superior imaging, while the acoustic lens incorporated in the grille smoothes the tweeter's frequency response.

3/4" Silk Dome Tweeter: The Polk Audio Black Stone TL2 series satellite speaker utilizes a 3/4" silk dome tweeter for crisp, clear imaging, and smooth response that's never tiring.

3-1/4" Composite Injection Molded Woofer: The Polk Audio Black Stone TL2 series satellite speaker employs a 3-1/4" composite injected molded cone woofer with Dynamic Balance driver technology (Polk's patented transducer design process) that produces a flat frequency response, with sharp detail, transparency, and the ability to play loud without strain.

Frequency Response: The overall frequency response is 95-24,000Hz, and the -3dB frequency response is 125-20,000Hz.

Additional Speakers: The TL2 satellite speaker will require a powered subwoofer (107PSW111, sold separately) for full-range sound. You can also add addition TL2 series speakers for 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 channel home theater configurations.

Enclosure Design

Enclosure Type: The Polk Audio Black Stone TL2 series satellite speaker features a non-resonant composite enclosure with time-aligned geometry, and PowerPort technology.

Curved Enclosure Design: The Polk Audio Black Stone TL2 satellite speaker employs non-parallel surfaces that not only lead to a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure, but they also result in less audible coloration from internal surface resonances.

Steel Reinforced: Extra-rigid steel plates reinforce the curved enclosure of the TL2 series satellite speaker, resulting in acoustically inert enclosures free from internal resonances and any audible coloration, for more lifelike audio detail.

Integrated Acoustic Lens: An innovative acoustic lens incorporated into the grille produces a high frequency response so smooth that it delivers a balanced, realistic performance. An acoustic lens is molded into the back of the speaker grille and helps create imaging frequency balance previously impossible in small high-performance satellite speakers.

PowerPort: The Polk Audio Black Stone TL2 series satellite speaker utilizes Polk Audio's patented bass venting technology, for added midbass response and increased efficiency. PowerPort technology decreases port turbulence and virtually eliminates "port noise," for a massive 3dB boost in bass response.

High-Gloss Finish: The Polk Audio TL2 series satellite speaker is available in a durable, deep automotive-strength high-gloss white or high-gloss black finish to match today's most stylish flat-panel TVs.

Connections

5-Way Binding Posts: The Polk Audio Black Stone TL2 series satellite speaker is equipped with one pair of 5-way binding posts to ensure a secure connection to many types of speaker cables and connectors. The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (single or dual), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and bare wire (18-12 AGW).

Mounting Options

Rubber Feet: The Polk Audio TL2 satellite speaker features integrated rubber feet so you can sit the speakers on a stand or shelf securely.

Wall Mountable: The Black Stone TL2 satellite speaker features a single keyhole slot on the back of the cabinet for wall-mounting the speaker without any additional wall-mount brackets (mounting screws not supplied). There is also a 1/4"-20 threaded insert on the back of the satellite speaker for mounting the speaker to the wall using an optional articulating bracket (sold separately).

Q
How do these speakers mount on a wall? Is there a special bracket that screws into the back?

A
There are brackets that come with the speakers that mount on the wall and then to the speakers, perhaps try the manufacturer if you don't have them...
keith  Apr 09, 2018
Q
I just bought a pair of the Polk Signature 15 bookshelf speakers. Would these blend nicely as a pair of surrounds, or would a pair of the Signature 10's be a better match?
peter  Mar 05, 2018

A
I cannot speak for the S10s, but bought a pair of the T L2s to use as surrounds paired with my Klips RP 150Ms. I love my Klips and I really love the way the TL2s mesh seamlessly with my system. It is amazing the clearness, crispness, and the sound stage these small speakers generate
orlando  Mar 05, 2018
Q
I recently brought a pair of these speakers. Can anyone suggest a good Speaker stand for them as wall mounting is not an option for me? I brought a pair of universal speaker stands from and but they are not compatible with TL2 :(.

We have not received any answers from other customers on your question. I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They should be able to help answer your question.

You could use them for the height channel in an atmos setup. I use them in that configuration and they work great

Do these speakers have a threaded screw-on type mount (on the rear or bottom)? I'm replacing a 15 year old set of Polk satellites that are ceiling mounted.

Can you attach these to a speaker stand? I have an old set of Polk speakers that mount on a stand. The speaker wires go up the middle of the stand and two nuts on the back attach the speaker to the stand.
larry  Mar 29, 2014

It weighs 3 lbs.
salomon  Jan 13, 2014
A
I'm unsure of the exact weight but it is less than 5 lbs. Most of your basic mounts would be fine for this speaker
daniel  Jan 12, 2014
A
The speaker weighs about 3 pounds. Polk includes holes on the back of the speaker to mount directly to the wall. I ended up purchasing Pinpoint Mounts AM20-White. The mount allows you to aim the speaker and was easy to install.
gerald s.  Jan 12, 2014
A
About 3 pounds each. I used Paramount mounts to put these in my ceiling. They are plastic mounts but plenty strong. Good Luck.
martin  Jan 12, 2014
A
Its heavy, about 5 pounds. I got the mounting bracket at home depot, it was 2 dollars per bracket. Its not an advertised item, and hard to find, but its there. Contact me if you want photos
eric  Jan 12, 2014

The speakers weigh about 2 pounds together. They have a back opening that alloud to be hanged from the wall.
juan  Jan 12, 2014

3 pounds most universal mounts will work
