RTiA Series Product Preview Real Wood, Real High Performance The new RTiA Series incorporates our latest Dynamic Balance® cone drivers and 1" tweeters and elegantly redesigned cabinets that reflect the latest styles. The floorstanding models feature "PowerPort® Plus," an enhancement of Polk®'s patented PowerPort venting technology. As you can expect from this highly popular line, the performance is classic Polk. Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate Isolation (DAHLI) Cabinet Design for clean, accurate sound. The asymmetric design is made from a 6-layer laminate with 5 viscous layers to create the optimal shear damping (OSD) system, the process for which was specifically developed for Polk. Their elegant styling aside, creating curved cabinets not only results in a stronger, more rigid and acoustically insert enclosure, but the curved walls also produce less audible coloration from panel resonances. All 2007 RTiA, CSi And F/X®i Models Feature The Latest Generation Dynamic Balance Drivers And Tweeters The bass/midrange drivers used throughout the RTi range employ polymer/mineral composite cones. 1" Tweeter Is A Silk/Polymer Composite Dome for smoother response and better detail. A Neodymium Magnet, Low-Viscosity Ferro-Fluid Cooling, and a heat sink on the back of the magnet, create better power handling and reliability. All RTiA Models And CSiA6 Center Feature Polk's Patented PowerPort Technology that reduces turbulence at the mouth of the port. PowerPort vastly reduces "chuffing" or "port noise" and provides deeper, more powerful, lower distortion bass than could be achieved with conventional ported or sealed designs of comparable size. The Floorstanding Models, RTiA5, RTiA7 And RTiA9 Feature PowerPort Plus an enhancement in PowerPort technology. PowerPort Plus uses two ports (one front, one rear) and internal "plates" to further reduce air turbulence and increase bass efficiency. A computer designed tweeter faceplate radius, tapered enclosure and baffle edge radius all contribute to minimizing diffraction for more open and spacious imaging. PowerPort Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate Isolation (DAHLI) Cabinet Design Top View of RTiA Cabinet Design RTiA7 And RTiA9 Use Multiple Long-Throw 7" Subwoofers to combine the wide dynamic range benefits of a single large subwoofer with the tight, punchy, accurate bass response of small woofers. Combined with PowerPort Plus, these multiple subwoofers deliver deep high impact bass with speed and accuracy. Magnetically Shielded to allow safe placement next to televisions or video monitors. All Models Feature Gold Plated 5-Way Binding Posts with dual inputs for bi-amplification or bi-wiring. Acoustically Inert 3/4" MDF Cabinets, finished in cherry or black oak real wood veneers.
