Polk Audio Blackstone™ TL1

Don’t settle for movie dialogue and on-screen action that sounds flat and lifeless. Add Polk’s Blackstone TL1 to your home theater system, and it’ll wow you with its dramatic, engaging center channel sound. Thanks to Polk’s latest advances in driver technology, you’ll experience effortlessly clear dialogue and dynamic special effects from a speaker that takes up very little space. And if you’ve got a new flat-panel TV, the TL1’s high-gloss finish makes a great cosmetic match.

Advanced technology for astonishingly realistic sound
Polk’s “Time Lens” technology aligns the drivers in such a way that all the frequencies reach your ears at the same time. It improves the speaker’s staging and imaging, so that you’ll start to forget you’re watching a movie and really feel like you’re there. An “acoustic lens” in the speaker grille disperses sound waves to make your movie and music soundtracks sound larger and more open. Rather than a traditional port, the TL1 center uses something called an “aperiodic-tuned rear port.” It’s more like a breathable membrane that controls air flow in and out of the enclosure, giving it the acoustic benefits of both a sealed and a ported enclosure, including better bass extension and a pleasing mid-bass boost. It also means you can place this speaker on your TV cabinet or against the wall, and still expect great sound.

Easy speaker placement
The TL1 center has keyhole slots in the back for easy mounting on your wall. You can also use the threaded inserts to attach it to an optional speaker bracket. Create your own home theater system by adding anywhere from five to seven TL1 satellite speakers to this center channel, along with the Polk powered subwoofer of your choice.
