A perfect sonic and stylistic match for flat-panel and shallow-case TVs, the Polk Audio SurroundBar is designed to offer elegant, high-resolution, single-source surround sound. It comes with everything you need to mount it above, below, or even on your television, and it works with any surround sound receiver. It’s an ideal listening system for anyone seeking rich, enveloping surround sound without the space commitment or hookup hassles of a multispeaker system.

The SurroundBar is designed to complete your high-definition TV experience and is a perfect match for flat-panel TVs. (Titanium color shown)

SDA technology projects sound to both sides and behind you.

Polk Audio’s patented SDA Surround technology means there’s no need to install rear speakers. SDA Surround technology is founded on extensive research into the way human ears process sound and perceive directionality of sound. Unlike speakers or surround algorithms that merely simulate surround effects, the SurroundBar reproduces discrete, multichannel surround sound using a patented combination of signal processing and acoustical geometry called Acoustic Wave Front Reconstruction (AWFR). Since the SurroundBar works directly upon your ears and requires no special room characteristics, it can deliver room-filling surround sound nearly anywhere.

As with conventional 5.1-channel systems, you’ll hear the best surround effects when you’re centered directly in front of the SurroundBar. However–unlike conventional 5.1 systems–the SurroundBar delivers surround sound regardless of how close or how far away you sit.

While it’s technically a single speaker, the SurroundBar contains seven active drive units, three tweeters, and inputs for all five primary surround channels: front left/center/right and rear left/right. Multiple drive units spaced roughly the same distance apart as your ears allow the speaker to keep you from discerning the actual sound sources. Instead, it will seem as though sound is coming from all around and behind you.

Mount the SurroundBar below your flat-panel TV, or use the included cradle for a shelf or set-top placement. (Titanium color shown)

The SurroundBar’s circuitry maintains proper isolation of all amplifier channels and will function correctly with any amplifier or receiver capable of driving a 4 ohm load (that is, capable of powering 4-ohm speakers). Many receivers are rated for maximum power into 8 ohms but function perfectly well–functioning with about half their rated power–into 4 ohms, too. Wiring a stand-alone powered subwoofer in line with the speaker (a procedure illustrated in the product manual) will heighten the sense of realism and visceral power of the SurroundBar.

For even more spacious sound, you can use the SurroundBar with your existing surround speakers, too. In such an arrangement you can wire the surround outputs from your receiver to your separate surround speakers instead of to the SurroundBar’s rear-speaker terminals, using the SurroundBar for the front left, center, and right channels only.

Simplified color-coded hookup with five channels directly from the home theater receiver.

Better still, if you have a 6.1- or 7.1-channel receiver, use one of your surround speakers as the rear-center speaker in a 6.1 system, or both surround speakers as 2 of the 4 speakers in a 7.1 system (with the SurroundBar’s 2 surround channels in filling in the sound for the other 2).

The SurroundBar must be mounted horizontally to function properly. Placement directly above or below your TV screen pointed in the same direction as the screen will give the best coordination between your surround sound and the on-screen images. Wall mounting, shelf mounting, table mounting, or stand mounting all work equally well. However, walls or other large obstacles within three feet of the sides of the SurroundBar will reduce the effectiveness of its surround delivery. Cross-corner locations will work just fine.

The supplied 25-foot, 10-conductor cable is color-coded and clearly marked for easy hookup.

What’s in the Box
SurroundBar speaker, 2-piece wall bracket, a center-channel base, mounting screws, 25-foot wire bundle, and a quick-start guide.

What the Experts Are Saying

“… the R270 system is massively impressive… open, detailed and dynamic; composed and coherent even when pushed… it should be seen and heard!”

–What HiFi? Sound and Vision

“It feels more like a large, floorstanding speaker system than one designed for plasma TVs.”

–Brent Butterworth, Digital TV & Sound
(Radius System – 2xR270, 1xR250, 1xR90, 1xR720)

“This is an extremely fast sounding system and every transient is dealt with razor-sharp precision. These are disappearing speakers, not just because of the narrow profile. Instead, the speakers produce a sound that makes them ‘disappear’ sonically.”

–Alan Silcom, Essential Hi-Fi & Home Cinema

Polk Audio RM6751 Satellite Speaker (Single, Black)

admin — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:24:59 +0000

Single satellite speaker for the RM series 6.1 or 7.1 channel speaker system
Equipped with a single 3.5-inch polymer composite midrange driver
Frequency response: 40Hz – 24kHz
Equipped with a single 0.5-inch silk/polymer composite dome tweeter
Integrated keyhole slot wall mounting brackets

Building an EX or ES surround sound system for 6.1 or 7.1 speakers? You can get RM6750 speakers in Single Satellite (RM6751) pack to fill out the speaker requirements of more-than-5.1 multi-channel systems.The Polk RM6751 satellite speaker accommodates listeners who want to add a channel or two to their existing 5.1-channel surround sound speaker system. Specifically designed for Polk’s RM6750 setup–which itself comes with four satellites, a center speaker, and a subwoofer–the satellite helps fill out the rear effects, creating a true top-of-the-line home theater compatible with the latest surround encoding formats. Each RM6751 speaker is equipped with a 3.25-inch polymer composite cone midrange driver that’s lightweight and efficient, along with a high-performance 0.5-inch silk dome tweeter. Combined, the drivers create a clear, distortion-free midrange and smooth highs.

The speaker also employs the same PowerPort bass vent technology used in Polk’s line of full-sized speakers, thus improving the lower midrange response. The result is a midrange with no “hole” between the satellite and the sub frequencies, helping male vocals sound rich and full rather than thin and weak (as with most other sub/sat systems). Meanwhile, the satellite’s integrated baffle and grille design allows for maximum sound dispersion and minimum diffraction, letting everyone in the room hear the same clear, well-balanced audio.

The speaker is housed within a mineral-filled, non-resonant, black-finished polypropylene enclosure that not only sounds natural, but also looks great. To top it off, the speaker includes an integrated keyhole slot-mounting bracket for effortless wall mounting. And because the speaker is magnetically shielded, you can locate the speaker near the TV without suffering from video interference. The speaker measures 4.06 by 6.5 by 5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty.

ZVOX 550HSD Low-Profile Single-Cabinet Surround Sound System with Optical and Coaxial Digital Inputs

admin — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:24:48 +0000

The only surround sound system designed to act as a base platform for your flat-panel TV.
Requires only one connecting cord.
PhaseCue virtual surround system to give you rich, three-dimensional sound with movies or music.
Designed to act as a base platform for most 26″ – 50″ flat-panel TVs
Tonally accurate sound and an astounding lack of modern technological trickery?a purist’s speaker.? – Hartford Courant

The Z-Base 550HSD is the only surround sound system designed to act as a base platform for most 26″ – 50″ flat-panel TVs. Only three inches thick, the Z-Base virtually disappears when placed beneath a flat panel TV. But don’t let is low profile fool you — the 550HSD sounds absolutely terrific-reproducing music and movie soundtracks with lifelike accuracy. The entire system-speakers, amplifier, virtual surround technology and powered subwoofer-fits into the super-slim cabinet. There are no external speakers, no external subwoofers and no speaker wires.The Z-Base 550HSD complements the design of modern TVs by incorporating beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss black end panels. The top of the Z-Base 550HSD is finished in rugged, scratch-resistant black vinyl that is less likely to be marred by objects such as the TV placed on its surface. Set-up of the Z-Base 550HSD requires very few steps: Simply place the unit on a stable shelf, table or cabinet. Place your stand-mounted flat-panel TV on top of it.Plug in AC power, one connecting cord to the TV. Sit back and enjoy big, realistic sound including thunderous bass from the builtin powered subwoofer. The Z-Base 550HSD uses the ZVOX PhaseCue virtual surround system to create wide, three-dimensional sound, as if you are listening to speakers eight feet apart from each other, with movie sound effects that literally surround you. You get a room full of sound without a roomful of speakers and wires! TV base should not exceed 27″ in width or 13″ in depth. TV should not exceed 90 pounds in weight. Safety instructions in Z-Base 550HSD Operating Instructions and in TV’s Operating Instructions should be closely examined and followed.
