Anchor a high-impact Polk Monitor home theater speaker system with the CS1 center speaker. It features dual 5-1/4" Dynamic Balance® woofers and a 1" Dynamic Balance dome tweeter. The woofer cones are stiff and lightweight for rich sound and low distortion. They really excel in the midrange — an absolute must for reproducing clear on-screen dialogue. The non-resonant MDF construction ensures cleaner, more lifelike sound.

The CS1 is voice-matched to all the speakers in the Polk Monitor line. Team it up with the Monitor 50 or Monitor 60 tower speakers for an impressive front soundstage in a large-room home theater setup. Or match it to the Monitor 30 or Monitor 40 bookshelf models for convincing home theater in smaller rooms.

Features

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.

Polymer Composite Woofers: The speaker features two lightweight, yet stiff Bi-Laminate composite woofers with good damping, giving you high efficiency, excellent bass, and low distortion. For high performance durability, each woofer uses a butyl rubber surround.

Silk/Polymer Tweeter: The speaker has a 1" fabric/polymer dome tweeter that provides clear, detailed highs. The tweeter uses a heat sink on the Neodymium magnet for superior heat dissipation, power handling and reliability.

Acoustically Inert Cabinet: The speaker cabinet features all-MDF construction with internal bracings that virtually eliminate sound-muddying resonance.

Reversible Design: If the speaker must be positioned below ear level, you can turn the cabinet upside down, allowing the drivers to fire upward.

Port: There is a single critically-tuned port opening on the rear of the speaker that has low port noise for increased and extended bass response.

5-Way Binding Posts: The gold-plated 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, and dual banana plugs.

Magnetically Shielded: The speaker is magnetically shielded, allowing you to place it on your television without distorting the picture.

Note

Frequency Response Note: The overall frequency response is 55Hz-25kHz and the -3dB frequency response is 65-24kHz.
