Signature E Series
The High-Resolution Speaker System for Music and Home Cinema
Built to bring the finest musical experience to the comfort of your home, the Polk Signature E Series continues in the Polk tradition of HiFi. Y inert enclosures reduce unwanted internal standing waves for less audible coloration. Non-resonant all-MDF construction, with minimum 19 mm-thick baes, ensures a more lifelike sound that’s timbre-matched throughout the range to achieve seamless speaker-to-speaker blending effects in multi-channel systems. Curved edges offer a sensual yet powerful look that’s available in a stunning black and white washed walnut finish. But the upgrades don’t stop there.
Dynamic Balance Technology Driver Design
Whether upgrading your home theatre setup with an advanced Atmos configuration or enjoying your favourite music, Dynamic Balance ensures a rich, clean, full-range sound no matter what you’re listening to. This patented technology analyses the speaker’s entire electro-acoustic and mechanical system for improved material selection and more ecient geometry. It pinpoints and eliminates issues that reduce speaker performance before they become a part of the finished product.
ou get elevated sound for movies, TV and music in a totally re-imagined design. Strong, rigid and acoustically
High-Resolution Polk Terylene Tweeter
Our Terylene dome tweeter features curvilinear formers that extend response and lower resonance. Its powerful ceramic motor structure also lowers system resonance and extends low­frequency response for better dispersion in the critical midrange, delivering clear and detailed
high-frequency response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments. Capable of delivering 40kHz to support the latest high-resolution audio files so it feels like you’re right there in the studio or concert hall.
Custom Mid-Range Drivers
Mica-reinforced polypropylene cones with butyl rubber surrounds, four-layer voice coils, massive
ceramic motor structures and high-temperature Conex fibre spiders combine to create drivers of exceptionally high eciency, for clean, clear bass, better linearity, lower distortion and greater durability.
Exclusive Polk Power Port Technology
Power Port® is our patented design that smoothly transitions the air flow from the speaker’s port
into your listening area. It also extends the overall bass port, providing greater surface area to eliminate turbulence and distortion, for bigger, more musical, deep bass impact. Plus, it oers 3dB more bass response output than a traditional port.
Anti-Diraction Magnetic Grille
Computer modelled for a precision fit and enhanced good looks—and made to minimise sonic interference.
High Sensitivity and Maximum Compatibility
Works with the most modestly powered amplifier or receiver. Whether you’re connecting them to the newest digital processor or your vintage rig, you get sound reproduction that’s spacious, clear, enveloping, and realistic. Plus, it’s compatible with latest Dolby and DTS surround sound technologies.
Cascading Tapered Crossover Array
Whether it’s a four-driver (S60e, S35e), three-driver (S55e, S50e, S30e), or two-driver (S20e, S15e, S10e) array, this feature oers a seamless, lifelike soundstage no matter where you’re seated in your listening room. There’s no more sweet spot—instead, it’s all around you.
Gold Plated 5-Way Binding Posts
Perfect for easy setup, they ensure the most direct, ecient, and loss-less connection possible. What’s more, the S60e, S55e, and S50e tower speakers feature dual gold plated 5-way binding posts.
