About the Polk Audio Monitor XT35
Space-saving center channel speaker
Space-saving center channel speaker
Polk Audio's Monitor XT35 measures just over 4" high and less than 6" deep, so it's perfect for home theater applications where you need a low-profile center channel speaker. It can be placed on a table, and there are convenient keyhole slots on the back so you can wall-mount it, too.
Wherever you choose to place it, the speaker offers high-resolution sound that can enhance movies, TV, and gaming. And it's a perfect match — both in terms of stylish looks and clean sound — to the rest of the speakers in the Monitor XT series.

Features
Two-Way Driver Design: The Polk Monitor XT35 center-channel loudspeaker features a two-way driver design with a Hi-Res 1" Terylene tweeter and four 3" bi-laminate paper cone woofers for dynamic, full-range sound.
- Hi-Res 1" Terylene Tweeter: Polk's newly designed 1" Terylene tweeter delivers clear and detailed high-end response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments. It will support high frequencies up to 40kHz to perfectly reproduce the latest high-resolution audio files with improved audio extension, earning Hi-Res Audio Certification.
- Quadruple 3" Bi-Laminate Paper Woofers: The four 3" bi-laminate paper cone woofers provide a clean and open midrange sound, plus punchy and responsive bass with low distortion. You'll hear voices clearly, instruments distinctly, and effects immersively when listening to your movie and music soundtracks.
Bass Reflex MDF Cabinet: The Monitor XT35 center speaker utilizes a bass reflex cabinet with two front-firing ports for greater efficiency and bigger bass response. The critically braced MDF cabinet isolates the sound of the tweeter and woofers without adding unwanted resonances. The bass reflex MDF cabinet is finished in a black vinyl wrap and comes with a grey cloth grille.
5-Way Binding Posts: The Monitor XT35 center-channel loudspeaker is outfitted with a set of 5-way binding posts. These nickel-plated binding posts guarantee a direct, lossless connection. The binding posts will support bare wire (up to 12AWG), pin-connectors, spade-lugs, and banana plugs (single or dual). You'll need to remove the plastic caps from the binding posts in order to use banana plugs.
Placement & Mounting Options: The Monitor XT35 center-channel loudspeaker can be mounted horizontally, under or above your flat-panel TV. The speaker should be centered with the screen of your television. The included self-adhesive rubber feet let you sit the speaker safely and securely on your stand or shelf (the feet add approximately 0.25" to the overall height of the speaker). The integrated keyhole slots on the back of Monitor XT35 allow you to mount the speaker on a wall (mounting screws not included).
Monitor XT Series: With Polk Monitor XT Series loudspeakers, you'll maximize your enjoyment of movies, music and gaming with loud and clear, high-resolution sound, plus effortless bass. Hi-Res Audio Certified, affordable priced, and built to exceed Polk's patented quality-testing process, the Monitor XT Series fulfills the Polk promise of great sound for all. The Monitor XT Series comprises of two floorstanding loudspeakers XT60 / XT70), two bookshelf loudspeakers (XT15 / XT20), two center-channel speakers (XT30 / XT35), a Dolby-Atmos enabled speaker (XT90), and a powered subwoofer (XT12) - all sold separately.
