Polk Audio

In 1972, two graduates of Johns Hopkins University decided to build some speakers. The company they built, Polk Audio, has become a leader in car, marine, and home audio equipment. These days, the company holds 45 patents related to speaker technology, a testament to the company's commitment to research and development. A Long History of Technical ExpertisePolk Audio has invented a product called the SurroundBar. This is a speaker that creates a surround sound experience, in any room. The SurroundBar works with a surround sound receiver to 'trick' the ear into thinking it's listening to dozens of speakers throughout the room.Polk Audio also makes in-wall speakers in various shapes and sizes. You can install these speakers in walls and ceilings to give you a total sound experience, all without cluttering up a room with audio equipment. These work well with flat-panel TVs to keep a room looking minimalist while you still enjoy the best of high-tech sound. For the car, you can find Polk speakers that are just as sleek and powerful as home speakers, including sub-woofers in sizes from 10 to 15 inches.Although Polk Audio components are known for superior technical stats and solid engineering, the company still struggles to keep them affordable. If you want a radio to simply keep you company while you work, this is probably not the system for you. If, however, you want to enjoy your music to the fullest, Polk Audio may be the way to go.
