Polk Audio Monitor XT35 Slim Center Channel Speaker in Black (Each) - 300149-01-00-005

Polk Audio 300149-01-00-005 Monitor XT35 Slim Center Channel Speaker in Black (Each)

The Polk Audio 300149-01-00-005 Monitor XT35 passive center channel speaker combines a slim, wall-mountable design with four 3 in woofers, a 1 in Terylene dome tweeter and Hi-Res Audio certification. Sold as a single speaker in matte black, it brings focused dialogue, clear midrange and responsive bass to movies, television and gaming while helping keep the screen and remote-control path unobstructed. It requires an external amplifier or AV receiver, with recommended amplifier power of 25-200 watts per channel, and is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X receivers.

Key Features

Slim Profile, Focused Dialogue

Conversations deserve a clear place in your home theater. The five-driver array emphasizes crisp, intelligible dialogue across seating positions, while the low-profile enclosure is designed for placement below a television. That combination keeps attention on the action without putting a tall speaker cabinet in front of the picture or remote-control path.

Hi-Res Audio Certified Terylene Tweeter

From high-resolution films to concert videos and spatial audio, the Terylene dome tweeter delivers spacious high-frequency reproduction with playback extending to 40 kHz. Its 1 in dome and ceramic motor structure form the high-frequency driver, bringing Hi-Res Audio certified performance to the speaker's slim design.

Four 3 in Bi-Laminate Paper Woofers

The four small woofers handle voices and midrange detail while adding responsive bass and impact to entertainment. Bi-laminate paper cones and an enclosure with two front ports make up the low-frequency design. For comparing bass reach and treble extension, the total frequency response is 57 Hz-40 kHz, with -3 dB limits of 84 Hz-26 kHz.

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Receiver Compatibility

Build this passive speaker into a surround sound system through its nickel-plated 5-way binding posts. It works with Dolby Atmos- and DTS:X-enabled AV receivers, but requires external amplification and cannot connect directly to a TV. An AV receiver is not included.

For receiver matching, check the recommended amplifier power of 25-200 watts per channel and compatibility with 4- or 8-ohm amplifiers. Minimum speaker impedance is 4.2 ohms, and sensitivity is 87 dB at 2.83 V/1 m. The power range is amplifier guidance, not a built-in amplifier output rating.

Wall-Mountable Design and L/C/R Flexibility

Keyhole slots and a 1/4 in-20 threaded insert provide mounting options, and supplied feet support placement below the television. Beyond center-channel duty, the speaker can serve as a left, right or surround channel. These are placement choices for the single included speaker, not additional speakers in the package.

Designed and engineered in Baltimore, Maryland, the cabinet has a matte black finish and a removable grille for a covered or exposed-driver look.
