Your center channel speaker is the one that delivers the lion’s share of audio info to you, sitting on the couch, immersed in the illusion of truly cinematic surround-sound. Not only do you demand clear dialogue, but also a timbre-matched anchor for the action onscreen. The TL1 Center Channel Speaker, available as part of the TL150 5-pack and TL1600 6-piece system, or separately is the workhorse of the TL1 Series. Dual drivers, matched to the satellite speakers in the system, give you a compact focal point for your home theater excitement.
Clear details from Silk Dome Tweeters – Classic Polk Audio performance, producing pinpoint imaging and smoother highs that are never fatiguing.
Smooth response at lifelike volume with Long-Throw Mid-Bass Drivers – A super-small driver with all the usual small-driver anomalies tuned out by our patented Dynamic Balance Technology. Astonishingly smooth, flat frequency response, superior transparency and detail, and the surprising ability to play really, really loud for such a small speaker.
Extended bass impact with an Aperiodic-tuned Rear-Firing Bass Port – Combines the extension of a ported enclosure with the smoother low-end of an acoustic suspension enclosure, controlling port air flow for the kind of big bass response, and perfect speaker-subwoofer blending, you’d never expect from a loudspeaker you can hold in the palm of your hand.
Easy System Building – Add a Subwoofer to round out your BlackstoneTL1 system with the explosive low-frequency effects you need to get the most from today’s digital media. You can also add individually-available, perfectly timbre-matched BlackstoneTL speakers to expand your system into the realms of 6.1, 7.1 and beyond!
Time Lens technology aligns the acoustic centers of the tweeter and mid-bass driver on the same spatial plane for superior imaging, while an acoustic lens incorporated in the grille smoothes the tweeter’s frequency response. This alignment and grille lens technology creates imaging realism and frequency balance unheard of in small, high performance satellite speakers.
Curved enclosure design – 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. We’ve literally designed-out the usual limitations of small-enclosures. It’s a new category of compact loudspeaker: the kind that sounds amazing. (And looks great doing it).
If you could tune out the bad sounds before they even happen, you’d do it, wouldn’t you? Polk Audio’s patented Dynamic Balance process allows us to design our 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.
Hi Gloss “Blackstone” Finish – A durable, deep automotive-strength finish that matches today’s most stylish flat-panel TVs and the decor they live in: yours.
Multiple Mounting Options – Compact means go-anywhere for Blackstone TL: on shelves, on the wall, on stands. Built-in Keyhole Slots and threaded inserts (that fit virtually any brackets) give you multiple mounting options.
