From Polk
Polk Audio has introduced two new powered subwoofers as part of the Home Theater Series (HTS) Subwoofers, the HTS10 and HTS12, designed to add powerful, deep bass to any home theater setup. The HTS Subwoofers are the only subwoofers to feature Polk's Patented PowerPort technology, which reduces port noise via a proprietary cone that sits just within the port, designed to deliver louder, lower and more accurate bass response. Powered by 200W and 400W Class D amplifiers, respectively, users will immediately feel the commanding bass impact, bringing their favorite music and movies to life.
"Tight bass is an incredibly important factor to any audio system. Our HTS Subwoofers provide increased amplification, improved driver construction and great dynamic range, all factors that are going to completely amaze and delight listeners," said Michael Greco, global brand director, Polk Audio. "When it comes to subwoofers, efficiency and accuracy are absolutely crucial to deliver clean, chest-thumping bass. This is why we chose to leverage Polk's PowerPort technology for the HTS Subwoofers--it dramatically reduces port turbulence and noise while preserving depth and clarity."
Each subwoofer boasts either a front-firing 10 or 12-inch Dynamic Balance driver, and our world-class audio teams have optimized our drivers to provide better linearity and greater overall durability for years of use. PowerPort technology delivers incredibly deep bass response, smoothly transitioning airflow from the speaker into the listening area for an extended bass impact, minimized turbulence and distortion. The HTS Subwoofers are universally compatible with home theater equipment and features connectivity via LFE or component inputs, making it a perfect complement to any home theater system.
The quality-crafted cabinet is built with a strong, rigid and acoustically inert enclosure and designed with curved edges, for a beautiful look that easily fits with any home de?cor. Its non-resonant Meddite MDF construction, with extra bracing, ensures a more life-like sound reducing unwanted internal standing waves for less coloration. In addition, the HTS Subwoofers boast easily accessible controls for volume, low pass filter, phase, and a 12V trigger for on/off power switching.
