ENGLISH ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH POLK AUDIO – A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE POLK AUDIO - UN HISTORIAL DE EXCELENCIA POLK AUDIO - UNE TRADITION D’EXCELLENCE POLK AUDIO - VERBÜRGTE EXZELLENZ Polk Audio was founded in 1972 by Matthew Polk and George Klopfer. Their dream was to make speakers with the performance of the world’s best speakers, at reasonable prices. They did so by applying scientific principles to speaker design and by concentrating solely on the speaker business.
ENGLISH THE STORY OF DYNAMIC BALANCE ® Your new Polk speakers employ Dynamic Balance, a technology which came out of a joint research project between Polk Audio and Johns Hopkins University. This laser imaging research enables us to view the entire vibrating surface of a driver or tweeter, allowing us to observe the resonances which develop on speaker cones as they move. These resonances are the root cause of frequency response distortions.
