2 DSW SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS

DSWmicroPRO

The four DSWmicroPRO Series models are Polk’s new
top-of-the-line powered subwoofers. They feature
proprietary digital engines for spectacular performance
and convenience, as well as unprecedented optimization
for room acoustic and placement conditions with features
like the Polk Room Optimizer (
Room Optimizer (Auto

PRO) and Automatic Polk

™

PRO

) systems. All DSWmicroPRO
models are compact designs, significantly smaller than
traditional subwoofers of similar performance. All four
models reflect the latest styling with their grille-free
design. And three of the models have a high-gloss black
lacquer finish for the ultimate in home theater elegance.
The DSWmicro

PRO1000 is finished in satin black and

may be painted to match room décor.

1200 Watt digital amplifiers, massive die-cast aluminum
baskets and 13 lb. motor structures.
A 2 1/2" Glass/Epoxy voice coil former wound with four
layers of heavy gauge aluminum wire to provide the highest
power handling and reliability of any home subwoofer driver
in Polk’s history.
Dual progressive roll spiders tightly control cone motion
for the ultimate in tight, detailed and musical bass.
Klippel Optimized Woofer—enabled Polk engineers to
optimize the woofer’s motor structure, voice coil alignment
and suspension for the best possible performance even
at extreme listening levels.
Bottom-mounted sub-bass radiators augment deep bass
response and output. With 60% more surface area than
a round radiator, the square shape takes full advantage
of the area available on the compact enclosure for higher
efficiency, higher output and lower distortion.
Acoustically inert 1" thick MDF enclosure panels.
Adjustable rubber carpet spike feet for mechanical stability.

FEED FORWARD DISTORTION SUPPRESSION TECHNOLOGY

This technology maximizes acoustic output as it reduces audible distortion. Feed Forward is a zero latency system
that maximizes dynamic output of the subwoofer system, without relying on slow responding feedback techniques
or broad band dynamic compression, which squeeze the life out of the low end. What you hear is quick, precise
bass output with minimal audible distortion, even at ground shaking volume levels.

REMOTE CONTROL

Credit card-sized remote control to adjust volume,
phase (0, 90, 180 and 270 degree settings), mute,
and select the

PRO presets.

“Night” function compresses the dynamic range of
the woofer’s output so you hear all the low-level bass
detail on the program material without resorting to
loud listening.
“Reset” button on the remote restores the woofer’s
settings to factory presets.
Blue LED behind the woofer’s logo badge blinks to
confirm the subwoofer has received and responded
to the remote’s instructions.

AUTOPRO (AUTOMATIC POLK ROOM OPTIMIZER)

AutoPRO is an in room optimization system which measures (by means of a supplied microphone) the response peaks created
by standing waves (room modes) and flattens in-room response. AutoPRO preserves the dynamics and transient response of the
woofer system by optimizing the in-room time response of the system rather than simply equalizing the steady state response.
Polk’s unique method effectively eliminates boomy response problems while preserving dynamics and transient response for
bass performance that is tight, musical and punchy.
