The center speaker is the heart of your home theater
Perhaps the most important loudspeaker in a home theater system is the center channel — because as much as 80 percent of the information in a surround soundtrack may come from there! The CSR is all-MDF constructed, which creates an acoustically stable cabinet that doesn't interfere with the sound. Your CSR's anti-diffraction grilles help, too. Diffraction is a type of distortion that occurs when sound reflects off an object such as a grille frame. The re-radiated sounds smear the original sound, much like ghost images on a TV smear the picture. Sound wave reflections (diffraction), caused by grille frames, color the sound and make the speaker sound "closed in" and "boxy." Polk's technology lifts the grilles literally off the baffle area, minimizing grille-edge reflections for clearer sound and more open imaging.
Dynamic Balance brings it all into harmony
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.
Flexible placement
CSi Center Channel Speakers easily carry the majority of center channel info delivered in multi-channel sources; their upside-down amiable cabinets give you the ultimate in placement flexibility and sound tailoring for your high-performance home theater system. Plus, it's magnetically shielded to keep your television safe, and it has 5-way binding post inputs for the most secure connections and the most versatile wiring applications.
