The TL1 center channel speaker brings clear dialogue and dynamic special effects to TV, movies and on-screen action in an ultra-compact design. The silk dome tweeter and mid-range drivers coupled with Time Lens technology deliver smooth highs, superior audio detail and pinpoint imaging. Polk’s proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance technology tunes out distortion-causing driver and system resonances. It also features a power port that is designed for bigger, more efficient, deep bass impact, and enables better blending with a subwoofer. The unit’s hi-Gloss “Blackstone” finish matches today’s most stylish flat-panel TVs and furniture. Built-in keyhole slots and threaded inserts makes for easy mounting of the speaker.

Great inexpensive speaker.
I am using this speaker as a replacement for my original center channel on my home theater system. I am space limited so it’s size worked very well. The sound is rich and clear for dialog. And it took less than one minute to connect.

Small Scale, Big Performance
I frequently buy stuff expecting the absolute least from them, only to not even reach that low bar. Reviews were uniformly good on this centre speaker, but that doesn’t always count for much on here. Purchased it at a low sale price, and expected to be disappointed as I was swapping out a great sounding speaker that was unfortunately just too bulky for its position on a mantel.Pleasantly surprised doesn’t even begin to describe it. This speaker is tiny, and yet provides a properly rich sound. Bass, mids, and highs are all very well represented. It’s a warm and full sound, never boomy, never tinny, never muddy. I don’t appear to have sacrificed a thing in terms of sound quality in moving down to something comfortably a third of the size of my other speaker. Looks pleasant and unassuming enough, without any faddish bling, or instantly dated design touches.Speaker terminals are recessed so your connections don’t get in the way of sitting or hanging it flush to a wall.Difficult to know what more to say. I have it as part of a 7.2 set-up in a large room and it never gets lost competing with the other speakers. A really capable performer in a small package, at a daft price.

Nice speakers for the price
I’m not an audiophile but didn’t want a sound bar so i got these Polks for a new TV. For the price they sound great and have plenty of power for my needs. small size looks good and sounds as good or better than expectedsolid purchase

Love it!
The center speaker works great! Small enough that doesn’t block tv. Sound is very good for the price.

Works great, no complaints!!
A solid center speaker that does the job right out of the box. Polk items can go really high end, especially when buying a complete system, but individually you can build your system on a budget without breaking the bank.It does exactly what it is supposed to do with very little fanfare or bells and whistles, and looks great with the grill on, or off. I have them off to match my components. The sound is solid, and naturally it is not made to carry the entire weight of the sound system, but to round it out as a team player. It is solidly built, looks great, and looks nice in front of my 50 inch Samsung. Do not expect the sound from this center speaker to blow you away, but it does the job nicely for what its designed for at a good price.One caveat if you are not hanging it on the wall, the speaker dips a little low when resting it in front of your TV, so it looks off with a slanted downward look. It drove me nuts, so you will have to undertake your own solution since they did not supply any small supports for those thinking of resting in on an entertainment center. Buy some basic sticky furniture pads, or use any other item under the front corners that can stabilize the speaker and make it stand more upright. Once I did this, the look improved dramatically and the sound is going where it should, vs bouncing downwards away from you.A great buy and I am pleased all and all. Polk always comes through with solid products that work like a charm.

Works Great! Canât Beat the Brand/Price Combo
Iâve needed a center channel speaker for awhile but didnât want to spend a fortune. Iâve loved the Polk products Iâve owned in the past. I think they punch above their weight class. This speaker is nice and small and does exactly what I need it to do. Plus, I get to have a center speaker that says Polk instead ACME or some no name brand.

Decent for a smaller room, Not bad
Decent for a smaller room, mids could be clearer but highs are good. Use with a sub and sattelites for 3.1 sound

Necesitaba una bocina para el canal central de mi receptor (AVR) de 7.1 canales que no ocupara mucho espacio, y me encontré con esta maravilla. La puse sobre una repisa, pero tiene dos orificios en la parte de atrás para que la puedas colgar en la pared si es necesario. Tiene muy buen sonido para medios y agudos. Los diálogos se escuchan muy bien. Es lógico que por el tamaño de sus bocinas no tiene grandes bajos, pero lo complementas con el subwoofer de tu AVR y va excelente. En el AVR configuré la frecuencia a 100 Hz y quedó de perfecto para mi gusto.

As the saying goes “it’s not the size of dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog”… and this little compact center channel has got some big fight. Highly recommend it…well worth the money.

Mooie compacte speaker met goed geluid.

Reliée à un viel ampli audio-video YAMAHA RX-V465, elle complète deux enceintes de bibliothèque ELTAX que j’utilise comme enceintes frontales. Elle assure parfaitement sa fonction centrale sans différence de tonalité avec les autres. Très bonne restitution des voix. De plus, son encombrement limité et son design effilé m’ont permis de facilement l’intégrer dans un espace au dessus de mon écran. Pour le moment, j’en suis entièrement satisfait.

Erstaunlich, welch ein hervorragender, klarer Klang aus dieser Mitten-Box kommt. Habe sie sofort gegen (auch namhafte) Box ausgetauscht. Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Lieferung wie üblich schnell (schneller, als angekündigt.) Preis o.k.
