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.
Klippel Optimized: Using a state-of-the-art Klippel
Distortion Analyzer, Polk engineers were able to optimize the speaker structure
and cabinet design for the best possible performance, even at extreme listening
levels.
High Efficiency Design:
Compatible with practically any AV receiver, these speakers produce
sound that is open, spacious and clear, even when driven by modestly-powered
amplifiers and receivers.
Bi-Laminate Composite Woofers: The speaker features two 5.25"
bi-laminate composite dynamic balance drivers which are light and stiff for deep
bass response and low distortion. For high performance durability, each woofer
uses a butyl rubber surround.
Silk dome Tweeters: The speaker features a 1.0" silk
dome dynamic balance tweeter for detailed highs. The tweeter features mylar bypass
capacitors in the crossovers to extend high frequency response and improve detail
and transparency.
Frequency Response: The overall frequency response is 35Hz-25kHz
and the -3dB frequency response is 47-24kHz.
Enclosure Design
Quality Built Cabinets: The
TSi speaker cabinets are extensively braced MDF with ¾" thick
baffles. With pewter accents, a piano black top plate and removable black
grille, TSi speakers look awesome and take up less than one square
foot. All models are available in a choice of black or cherry wood-grain vinyl
finishes.
Narrow Baffle Geometry: Narrow baffle geometry is a design that
creates a sleek looking speaker with great sound. The high quality cabinet
is slender and tucks away easily in your room. The smaller-diameter speaker
components are lighter in mass, translating to clearer sound.
Flared Ports: All TSi speakers feature critically-tuned
flared ports. Flared ports minimize port noise ("chuffing") and ensure good low
frequency extension with low distortion. With flared ports, TSi speakers reveal
realistic, natural, full-bodied sound with rich bass. These TSi floorstanding speakers feature a
down-firing power port.
Connections
Dual 5-Way Binding
Posts: The speaker has two sets of gold-plated 5-way binding posts connected by gold-plated
jumpers. Using the dual 5-way binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the
speakers.
Mounting Options
Placement: Create an equilateral triangle between the speaker and the
listening position. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately
move the speaker away from the video source.
Built-In Conical Feet: The speaker features four built-in conical feet
to ensure stability for precise bass response and superior imaging.
