Polk Audio

POLK IS THE

Great American Sound

In 1972 change was everywhere. In our appearance. In our attitude. In our music. It was an era when the live show evolved into a milestone, selling out stadiums and inspiring a new generation with a mindblower of a soundtrack. Our founders set out to capture the wonder of the live concert experience and bring it home. Throughout the decades since, we’ve continued making speakers to elevate all aspects of sound—in movies, TV and music—to provide you with the ultimate listening experience that’s always accessible.

Founded on Friendship, Built on Trust

Just a few friends from Johns Hopkins University with a passion for sound—and music on their mind. Matt Polk and his close-knit crew of rock ‘n roll mad scientists left an indelible mark on world. What started as a garage project in an old Victorian rooming house in Baltimore, Maryland, quickly became a legacy that never wavered from its original vision: Searching out new solutions in high-fidelity sound, while engineering reliable speakers to span the generations.

It’s HiFi Audio That Honors You

Success in this business relies on weathering time’s endless changes with a cool head and a giving heart. It’s this approach that’s allowed us to produce countless new speaker products since our inception—all the while delighting homes across this great nation and beyond. Because… we know sound. It’s our only focus. And as we continue researching, engineering and innovating toward new sonic revelations, you can trust that our intentions always will uphold the principles of real American HiFi. Because this isn’t just a job—it’s a privilege based on what audio should deliver: Great sound for everyone.

EXPECT GREAT SOUND

For more than four decades, we’ve been defining real American Hi-Fi in our advanced research and development labs in Baltimore, Maryland. Enjoy this small selection of our patented technologies that are a result of those hard-won efforts.

IMPROVES SOUND QUALITY BY MINIMIZING RESONANCE

DYNAMIC BALANCE

Advanced analysis of a speaker’s entire electroacoustic and mechanical system that helps in the selection of better materials and more efficient geometry to build more realistic-sounding loudspeakers

RENDERS SURROUND SOUND FROM ONE LOCATION

SDA

Patented technology cancels out all destructive cross channel interference within the speaker to maintain an expansive soundstage and wide stereo image, while enhancing the overall three-dimensional sound experience.

BROADENS SOUNDSTAGE FOR SMALLER SPEAKERS

WIDE DISPERSION ARRAY

Produces a wide, enveloping soundstage that’s tuned specifically for minimum cabinet size.

PATENTED PORT GEOMETRY INCREASES BASS WITHOUT DISTORTION

POWER PORT

Dramatically reduces port air turbulence for greater bass impact and lower distortion with less amplifier power.

PATENTED CROSSOVER TECHNOLOGY CREATES A WIDER SWEET SPOT

CASCADE CROSSOVER

Removes unwanted interference in the speaker array for a seamless, lifelike soundstage no matter where you’re sitting in the room.

CONTROLS DIALOGUE VOLUME LEVELS

VOICE ADJUST

Isolate and adjust the voice channel level to reproduce clear, crisp dialogue and never miss a single word of your favorite movie, TV show or sporting event with this patented technology.

Engineering and Design That Shapes How You Listen

From the bright minds who engineer and inspire our patented audio technologies, to the keen eyes of our designers who live for the look and feel of our products, both schools of thought drive our rich, detailed, room-filling sound—together, united and never apart.

The Sound Masters

Building on countless hours spent researching all things sound at the most respected institutes in the country—and putting those ideas to action inside of every product—our engineers have always believed that to uphold sound’s highest principles, how we listen matters just as much as the tools we use to measure and test everything we make.

Everything We Hear Matters

The people at Polk who craft your speakers are same ones honing their chops in front of a live audience as lifelong musicians, or mixing and editing sound scores for special projects, or devoting time at home to really listen to each Polk speaker and give them the ears and attention they so rightly deserve.

Engineering with Insight

Because listening is our ultimate pleasure and the answer during those crucial moments in the lab when we’re stacking ourselves up against our storied past—while meeting the needs of audio’s future—ensuring that what you get from Polk is tried, true and always profound.
