A Series

Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate

Isolation (DAHLI) Cabinet Design

Real Wood, Real High Performance

The new RT

i

A 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.

Dynamic Balance Drivers And Tweeters

The bass/midrange

drivers used throughout the RT

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.

A6 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.

A9 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.

A9 Use Multiple Long-Throw 7" Subwoofers

to combine the wide dynamic range benefits of a single large sub-

woofer 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.
