Polk Monitor XT: Hi-Fi / Home Cinema / Gaming speakers compatible with Dolby Atmos

The American loudspeaker manufacturer Polk Audio is expanding its range. After the announcement of the Polk Reserve series last March (see our Polk Reserve Imax Enchanced news: Hi ‑ Fi / Home Cinema speakers + Dolby Atmos speaker), the brand presents the Monitor XT series at significantly more affordable prices.

Versatile, Polk Monitor XT speakers are able to meet the expectations of Home Cinema enthusiasts, but also Hi-Fi and video games enthusiasts.

Polk Monitor XT: 2 columns, 2 libraries, 2 central units, 1 subwoofer and 1 Atmos module

With this in mind, many references are in the catalog with two floorstanding speakers -Polk Monitor XT60 and Polk Monitor XT70-, two bookshelf speakers -Polk Monitor XT15 and Polk Monitor XT20-, two center speakers -Polk Monitor XT30 and the compact model Polk Monitor XT35-, a subwoofer -Polk Monitor XT12- without forgetting a Dolby Atmos Polk Monitor XT90 module to be placed on the front, bookshelf and / or surround speakers.

Polk Monitor XT: acoustic package

Acoustically, all Polk Reserve models embed the same technologies. Namely a 2.54 cm tweeter with flexible terylene horn. The latter is accompanied, depending on the references, with one or more bilaminated paper boomers (7.62 cm, 13.43 cm or 16.51 cm). In the larger specimens, there are still passive radiators (16.51 cm or 20.32 cm).

Hi-Res Audio certified, the tweeter can flourish in stereo configuration with traditional musical listening but also within a Home Cinema installation to ensure the reproduction of 3D soundtracks such as Dolby Atmos and / or DTS : X, or even in the presence of a video game track.

Polk Monitor XT90, Dolby Atmos module

For its part, the Polk Monitor XT90 is equipped with a 10.16-centimeter full-range loudspeaker, in Up-Firing configuration. It is placed at the top of the Monitor XT20, Monitor XT60 or Monitor XT70 tower speakers to ensure reproduction of the Height channels of 3D soundtracks. Finally, the Monitor XT12 subwoofer has a Class AB amplifier with a power of 100 W and a membrane of 30.48 centimeters. We also note the traditional adjustments of volume, polarity and a variable filter, in addition to an RCA and LFE connection.

Available in matte black, immediate.
