REAL WOOD, REAL HIGH PERFORMANCE
Why settle for vinyl speakers when you can have the warmth and beauty of real wood at the same price, with speakers from the RT
i Series. They are wonders of industrial design: real wood, radiant with metallic highlights and racing car lines. Classic Polk performance in a design that speaks to today's high-end home décor. True performance art.

Anti-Resonant Enclosure

Cabinet resonance can ruin the sound of an otherwise well-designed speaker. You 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. RT
i Series Speakers feature additional anti-resonance strategies, like asymmetric
braces.
-
All-MDF construction with massive asymmetric
cabinet bracing ensures resonance-free enclosures
for accurate sound. (Cutaway view of RTi12 shown left, bracing is
similar on other RTi models)
-
Adjustable leveling feet in an outrigger base to provide stability on any type of flooring.
-
Real Wood finishes at vinyl prices.
