The Polk Audio TL2 Center Channel Speaker features upgraded performance specs, for more important audio detail; and it goes deeper, with built-in PowerPort bass venting, for lifelike effects and superb blending. It's available as a separate, so you can easily add a "rear center" and build an extended 6.1, 7.1 (and beyond) home theater system.
The silk dome tweeter delivers a classic, clear, detailed Polk performance, with pinpoint imaging and smooth highs that are never tiring. Injection molded composite cones, tuned with Dynamic Balance technology, deliver a flatter frequency response with transparency, sharp detail and the ability to play loud with no strain at all. The extra-rigid steel plates reinforce the beautiful curves of the TL2 speakers, resulting in acoustically inert enclosures free from internal resonances and any audible coloration, for more lifelike audio detail. The 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.
The unique curved enclosure design employs non-parallel surfaces to strengthen the acoustically inert enclosure and deliver less audible coloration from internal surface resonances. Because of its Extended Linear Motion motor structure, the moving parts of the drivers used in the Blackstone TL Series can move farther, more smoothly, in a smaller space than any other speaker driver in an enclosure this size, achieving the kind of dynamic response (clarity, volume) you'd expect from much larger speakers. PowerPort bass venting is Polk's patented design for smoothly transitioning the air flow from the port into your listening area, eliminating turbulence and distortion, for bigger, more efficient, deep bass impact. Adding a PowerPort to a compact loudspeaker allows it to achieve deeper bass, for better blending with your subwoofer, than ever before.
The Polk's proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance technology allows Polk's engineers to design out distortion-causing driver and system resonances, so you only hear the good sounds. Built-in keyhole slots and threaded inserts (that fit virtually any brackets) give you multiple mounting options. The gold-plated, professional-style 5-way binding posts, for the most secure connection options.
