Small speaker, big sound
Music is a big part of your life. Everyday you hear favorite tunes — or not so favorites — but you do use your sound system every day. Like a chef and his range, you know equipment can make or break your favorite song. Ready to meet the RM8 satellite speaker? Okay, here it is:
First glance at the RM 2008 Series RM8 and you see a compact, elegant looking piece of equipment. Nice, you think, but what's this little satellite speaker got under its hood? Look closer and you see the unique dual-drivers coupled with the three-sided cabinet design. Polk calls this combination the Wide Dispersion Array design. So you see a triangular cabinet with drivers on two sides of the speaker. Traditional satellite speakers simply fire sound in one direction. With the Wide Dispersion Array design, sound is projected in two directions. The result? The sound field expands. And you just might have to host a dance party — or at least have a glass of bubbly to celebrate the new sounds in your life.
How about two RM8's?
Again, this speaker is packaged and sold singly — its intended use is for front or surround channel use in 6.1 or 7.1 channel systems. But, if you're feeling extra adventerous, you may want to invest in two or three of them. If you do, you'll find that, when combined, they work together in a "mirror" design. Each is designated as either a left or right speaker and this ensures a dispersion pattern to bring you perfectly balanced sound. In addition, the second driver featured on Wide Dispersion Array allows the speaker to play louder, handle more power, and produce more bass. The result is rich, powerful sound. It's truly a win-win situation.
Magnetically shielded to prevent video distortion
In the past it wasn't possible to place speakers close to your TV due to possible damage from the magnetic fields inside the speaker. This limited speaker placement options, which has become more critical with today's smaller rooms and home theater applications. "Video shielded" means that these speakers can be placed in close proximity to your television without disrupting the picture or causing permanent damage.
Dynamically Balanced for oh-so-fine sounds
The drivers and tweeters used in Polk home speakers feature Dynamic Balance. What's this mean? Just as an x-ray enables a physician to discover the root cause of a symptom and effect the right treatment for a cure, laser imaging allowed Polk engineers to find the right combinations of materials, geometry, and construction techniques to tune out the offending resonance. Polk calls this technology Dynamic Balance. Dynamic Balance technology produces flat frequency response, sharp detail, transparency, and an ability to play program material with wide dynamic range at life-like volume levels without a hint of strain. Clean, clear, effortless sound results.
