The game changer: compact speakers that deliver full-size speaker performance

A completely reimagined compact speaker, built from the same components used in our flagship full-sized loudspeakers. The first compact speaker to use exclusive state-of-the-art technologies to overcome the usual limitations of compact speakers, with wider soundstaging, more realistic details and deeper bass response than ever before. Once you hear the new Blackstone TL3, you will forget everything you thought you knew about compact loudspeakers. You will believe in "big speaker sound without the big speaker." After all, we invented it.

Full-size speaker performance in the palm of your hand

Available separately, so you can build the high performance multi-channel system of your dreams, or as part of the TL350 5-pack, the TL3 High Performance Satellite Speaker is the new elemental compact loudspeaker, the sine qua non of today's most stylish compact loudspeaker systems.

The incredible accuracy of the Ring Radiator Tweeter
The Ring Radiator Tweeter has never been used in a compact loudspeaker before! You will hear the kind of incredible accuracy and detail (beyond even 30kHz!) you expect from a full-sized loudspeaker. The Ring Radiator Tweeter is found only in the world's highest of high-end loudspeakers, including our own award-winning flagship LSi and LCi Series speakers.

Effortless volume thanks to Aerated Polypropylene Cone Material
Developed using our patented Dynamic Balance process and specially designed for a compact speaker, the Blackstone TL3 APP Cone is based on the innovative cone technology used in our flagship speakers. It's lightweight, but stiffer and stronger, with longer linear excursion capabilities in a limited compact enclosure space, so it plays louder with less distortion. Its increased efficiency is the key to big speaker sound!

More efficient Optimized Linear Motion Motor Structure
Engineered for better compact speaker performance, our OLM Motor Structure flattens the BL Curve, making cone movement more efficient than previously possible, reducing distortion and extending the small speaker's dynamic range right up into big speaker territory.

Deeper bass with PowerPort
Polk Audio's patented bass venting technology, added to a compact loudspeaker, is like bringing the big bass drum to the party. PowerPort decreases port turbulence and virtually eliminates "port noise," for a massive 3dB boost in bass response. With wider dynamic range, Blackstone TL3 blends naturally with your Subwoofer, for more realistic bass impact in your theater.

Steel-reinforced Curved Enclosure Design
Rigid steel plates reinforce the acoustically inert Blackstone TL3 enclosure, adding weight and reducing internal resonances, even at high volume levels.

Sold individually for more advanced system building options
Match Blackstone TL3 speakers with the Polk Audio Subwoofer that best fits your space (go wireless!). Add individually-available, perfectly timbre-matched Blackstone TL3 speakers to expand your system into the realms of 6.1, 7.1 and beyond!

The high performance anchor to your compact home theater action

No other compact loudspeaker outperforms the TL3 Compact Center Channel Loudspeaker. That's because the TL3 is built small, but packed with big speaker technology. Dual high performance drivers work in concert with the superior Ring Radiator Tweeter (no other compact speaker has it). Patented PowerPort Bass Venting works with the steel-reinforced enclosure. The result of over two years of fundamental, groundbreaking research into the performance of compact speakers, the TL3 Center Channel Loudspeaker presents pinpoint detail in the mids and highs for realistic, wide soundstage imaging and deeper bass response than any other speaker in its size class. The TL3 Center Channel Speaker is included in the TL350 5-pack and is also available separately for use as a "rear center" in extended (7.1 and beyond!) multi-channel audio systems.

Developed using our patented Dynamic Balance process and specially designed for a compact speaker, the Blackstone TL3 APP Cone is based on the innovative cone technology used in our flagship LSi speakers. It's lightweight and stiffer for quicker transient response,, with better internal damping. This results in greater linearity and lower distortion to help achieve greater dynamic range and smoother frequency response.

The performance of component separates. The convenience of compact design.

Build the home theater system you always wanted, without sacrificing valuable living space to a set of large loudspeakers. Blackstone TL3 delivers the lifelike performance of full-size audiophile component speakers in a handsome compact design. The TL350 is a professionally-matched 5-piece component speaker set just waiting for the addition of your perfect subwoofer. (We recommend the compact, powerful PSW111 or state-of-the-art wireless PSWi225.) Combining the latest in audio technology & patented Polk innovations, engineered for optimum performance in compact cabinets, TL350 changes the paradigm for compact sound systems.
