Polk Audio TL3 Center Channel Speaker
Big Sound in a compact package
No other compact loudspeaker outperforms the TL3 compact center channel loudspeaker. That’s because the TL3 is built small, but packed with big speaker technology. Dual 3.25" aerated polypropylene cone mid-bass drivers work in concert with the superior 0.25" ring radiator tweeter found on Polk's flagship full-size speakers. Combining them with exclusive state-of-the-art Polk innovations engineered to overcome usual limitations of compact speakers, the TL3 center delivers crisp dialogue and a wide soundstage you expect from a much larger center channel speaker. The TL3 changes the paradigm for compact center channel speaker.
- The ring radiator tweeter Time Lens technology aligns the acoustic centers of the tweeter and mid-bass driver on the same spatial plane for superior imaging, while an acoustic lens incorporated in the grille smoothes the tweeter’s frequency response.
- The unique curved enclosure design employs non-parallel surfaces to strengthen the acoustically inert enclosure and deliver less audible coloration from internal surface resonances.
- Because of its Extended Linear Motion motor structure, the moving parts of the drivers used in the Blackstone TL Series can move farther, more smoothly, in a smaller space than any other speaker driver in an enclosure this size, achieving the kind of dynamic response (clarity, volume) you’d expect from much larger speakers.
- PowerPort bass venting is Polk’s exclusive design for smoothly transitioning the air flow from the port into your listening area, eliminating turbulence and distortion, for bigger, more efficient, deep bass impact. Adding a PowerPort to a compact loudspeaker allows it to achieve deeper bass, for better blending with your subwoofer, than ever before.
- The Blackstone aerated polypropylene cone is lightweight, but stiff and strong, with longer linear excursion capabilities in a limited compact enclosure space, so it plays louder with less distortion.
- Polk’s exclusive Dynamic Balance technology allows Polk’s engineers to design out distortion-causing driver and system resonances, so you only hear the good sounds.
- Hi-Gloss "Blackstone" finish, a durable, deep automotive-strength finish, matches today’s most stylish flat-panel TVs and furniture.
- Compact means go-anywhere for Blackstone TL: on shelves, on the wall, or on stands. Built-in keyhole slots and threaded inserts (that fit virtually any brackets) give you multiple mounting options.
- Gold-plated, professional-style 5-way binding posts allow for the most secure connection options.
- All Polk products are made using the best materials and the most advanced manufacturing techniques. They pass the industry’s most exhaustive quality tests, including drop testing, extreme signal response and UV & salt exposure testing. Polk loudspeakers are built to perform for a lifetime.
