Our Product Research Team
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Driver Technology
Dynamic Balance: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio
technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker
materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in
speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion.
Composite Woofers: Each speaker has a 5-1/4" Dynamic Balance
mineral filled polymer composite woofer housed in an acoustically inert stamped
driver basket for clean midrange and deep, accurate bass. For a smoother
response and improved durability, each woofer uses a rubber surround.
Silk Tweeters: Each speaker has a 3/4" Dynamic Balance silk,
polymer composite dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet for clear, detailed
highs.
Mylar Capacitors: The speakers utilize Mylar bypass
capacitors to extend its high frequency response and improve detail and
transparency.
Timbre-Matched: The Polk R150s are designed to fit any Polk
Audio home theater or multi-channel music system for a more realistic seamless
surround sound environment.
Frequency Response: The overall frequency response is
60Hz-24kHz and the -3dB frequency response is 65-20kHz.
Enclosure Design
Bass Port: A rear-firing bass port on each speaker gives you
deep, punchy bass response.
Grilles: The speakers feature ant-diffraction grilles that
minimize grill diffraction for spacious, three-dimensional imaging.
Connections
5-Way Binding Posts: The 5-way binding posts will accept
bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, and dual banana
plugs.
Mounting Options
Video Shielded: The speakers are magnetically shielded for
safe placement near your video sources.
Applications: The R150s can be used as front or rear
speakers in your home theater application or can be used as your main stereo
pair for music listening.
Optional Speaker Stands: Polk recommends using speaker stands that are
30 to 36 inches tall. The speakers come with 4 rubber self-adhesive feet for
each speaker to help secure them in place to prevent slippage and vibration.
Wall Mounting: The speaker does not come with any type of wall-bracket
or key-hole slot for wall-mounting the speakers. To wall mount the speakers you
will need to drill into the back of the speaker cabinet or use the optional
B-Tech heavy duty side-grip wall-mounting bracket (121AM40B,
sold separately). The space to drill into the back of the cabinet is 6.1875" x
3.3125" located above the speaker terminal assembly. The bracket will need to be
able to withstand at least 10 lbs.
