Helpful Downloads For The TSI500BK:
The TSi500 is the flagship of the TSi series and will take center stage of
your system. With four 6.5" drivers, it has the power handling and performance
capability to satisfy the music or home theater aficionado. Use a pair by themselves
in a high quality 2 channel system for music. Or pair them up with a CS20 center
channel, TSi200's for surrounds and a PSW series subwoofer and you'll have one
incredible sounding home theater system!
Features:
- Quality built cabinets
Speaking of the cabinet (no, not the Presidential Cabinet), it's extensively
braced from MDF with ¾" thick baffles. Cheaper speakers will use
other material such as particle board which is flimsy, robbing you of good
sound. With pewter accents, a piano black top plate and removable black grille,
TSi speakers look awesome and take up less than one square foot. All models
are available in a choice of black or cherry wood grain, so don't be ashamed
to show off your stereo equipment
- Small size, big sound
The OWM Series are designed to be used with TSi Series for rear surround speakers
in your 5.1 or 7.1 system. They feature Capacitive Coupling Technology (CCT)
which creates a gentle impedance dip within the range where conventional sealed-box
loudspeakers are subject to severely reduced bass output. The result- you
get 3dB more bass output over a fairly broad range. It's as if the loudspeaker's
enclosure grew by 30 to 50% in volume
- Innovative speaker technology
Like all Polk speakers, TSi is put through Klippel Optimization and Dynamic
Balancing. So what does this mean? It means your speakers will sound awesome
no matter what volume. Some speaker brands sound horrible at higher volumes.
Not Polk. We make sure your speakers sound great, no matter what volume you
play them at
- High efficiency design
Compatible with practically all electronics, these are speakers that produce
sound that's open, spacious and clear, even when driven by modestly-powered
amplifiers and receivers. No matter if you just bought a new digital surround
receiver, or are hooking up your new TSi Series speakers to vintage electronics,
they will still sound great
- Narrow baffle geometry
Bringing the best of both worlds- narrow baffle geometry is a design that
creates a sleek looking speaker with slick sound. First the high quality cabinet
is slender (less than one square foot) and tucks away easily in your room.
The smaller-diameter speaker components are lighter in mass, translating to
clearer sound
- Multiple small-diameter driver configuration
In combination with narrow baffle geometry- this configuration provides a
slender cabinet that sounds awesome. Why use smaller drivers instead of one
huge woofer? Many reasons, first smaller drivers are capable of better detail
than their larger counter parts. They also project sound over a wider area,
so every seat in the house gets great sound. Second, we can minimize the width
of the cabinet making it sleeker, giving you more room for a larger screen
- Silk dome tweeter and polycarbonate drivers
The nuts and bolts behind TSi's clear and crisp sound quality. Forget speakers
with harsh horns or hard metal dome tweeters- they'll grab your attention
at first but after prolonged listening, your ears will get tired. TSi's soft
silk dome tweeters and polycarbonate drivers sound smooth and natural. Your
ears will relax and thank you
- High Quality Connectors and Internal Components
We give you five way binding posts on all models. Other speakers make you
settle for spring clips which can break. Tower models feature dual sets of
terminals, giving you the option to bi-amp or bi-wire the speaker- a design
only found on much more expensive speakers. Internal components include Mylar
bypass capacitors- providing sparkling highs. At Polk, we don't cut corners;
we use high quality components for the best sounding speakers
- Rich, smooth bass
All TSi models feature Critically Tuned Flared Ports. Flared Ports minimize
port noise ("chuffing") and ensure good low frequency extension
with low distortion. With Flared Ports, TSi speakers reveal realistic, natural,
full-bodied sound with rich bass
- Stabilizer feet keep your speakers from dancing
Floorstanding TSi Tower Speaker models feature bold, fat stabilizer feet.
These stylish feet ensure stability on carpet or hard floors so that all of
the speaker's energy goes into making sound instead of rocking the speaker.
Stabilizer feet help the TSi Series Floorstanding Tower Speakers deliver more
precise bass response and superior imaging
