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).
