Polk Audio CSi5
from polkaudio.com
CSi Center Channel Speakers easily carry the 50+% of center channel info delivered in multi-channel sources; their upside-down aim-able cabinets give you the ultimate in placement flexibility and sound-tailoring for your high performance home theater system.
* Acoustically inert 3/4" MDF cabinets, finished in Cherry wood or Black Oak veneers. Turn them upside-down to aim them "up" when your placement requires them to be below your TV or video screen (it's a Polk innovation we pioneered back in the 90s!). Or, use the CSi5's Adjustable Kick Stand Prop to balance the speaker on your shallow-depth RPTV. * The CSi5 features a unique Adjustable Kickstand for secure balance on today's shallow-depth TVs and monitors. Dynamic Balance polymer composite drivers for smooth wide-range response with low distortion. * Power Port bass venting for superior clean, low distortion bass that you can really feel. * Acoustic Resonance Control (ARC Port) technology for more natural midrange reproduction. * 1" silk dome Dynamic Balance tweeter features a neodymium magnet for clear, detailed highs; heat-sinked for superior heat dissipation, power handling and reliability. * Butyl rubber surrounds for high performance durability. * Acoustically inert stamped driver baskets. * Floating anti-diffraction grilles minimize grille diffraction for spacious, 3-dimensional imaging. * Magnetic shielding for safe placement near video sources.
* Mylar bypass capacitors in the crossovers extend high frequency response and improve detail and transparency. * Dual, bi-ampable gold-plated 5-way binding post inputs (with wide holes for large-gauge bare wire connections) for the most secure connections and the most versatile wiring applications. (The CSi5 is a truly bi-wire- and bi-amp-able Center Channel Speaker!) * Timbre-matched to fit into any Polk Audio home theater or multi-channel music system for a more realistic, more seamless surround sound environment.
Floating grilles compliment the real wood finishes and softened contours of the new CSi Series Center Channel Loudspeakers. Metallic elements add a touch of modern style to these classic Polk Audio high performance workhorses.
