ANTI-RESONANT ENCLOSURE
Cabinet resonance can ruin the sound of an otherwise well-designed speaker. Y ou don’t want to hear your speaker cabinets humming along with the music (they don’t even know the words), you want to hear the uncolored sound launched by the drivers and tweeters. We take special pains to make sure that Polk speaker cabinets are resonance-free. All wood cabinet Polk Audio loudspeakers are constructed of costly low-resonance MDF instead of the cheaper and more resonant particle board used by many competitive speaker brands. LSi models feature additional anti-resonance strategies such as asymmetric braces and resonance­damping side panels (for 1 1/2" total cabinet thickness). See more about Anti-Resonant Enclosure at: www.polkaudio.com/catalog/technology/.

AERATED POLYPROPYLENE CONE
Polk Audio LSi Series Loudspeakers feature ultra stiff, well damped, surprisingly lightweight Aerated Polypropylene Cones. They’re 20% lighter than conventional poly and 35% lighter than aluminum cones. Dynamic Balance composite materials tune out driver resonance and foamed air pockets add damping without adding mass. These cones deliver spectacular midrange clarity, punchy bass and high efficiency. See more about Aerated Polypropylene Cones at www.polkaudio.com/catalog/technology/.

RING RADIATOR TWEETER
The Ring Radiator Tweeter , usually found only in speakers costing thousands more than Polk speakers, gives the LSi Series its incredible accuracy and astonishing detail, to reveal the nuances of your favorite CDs, high definition discs and LPs. The ultra-light woven ring radiator diaphragm is supported at two hinge points (A & B) and is driven by a centrally positioned voice coil (C). With a higher ratio of supported material than conventional tweeters, there’s less opportunity for performance-robbing resonance to develop. This remarkable tweeter delivers accurate high frequencies with precise detail and wide dispersion. See more about The Ring Radiator at www.polkaudio.com/catalog/technology/.
