Classic Polk Reborn

The name Monitor is special to Polk. The original Monitor Series is the line that made Polk famous with its simple, sturdy construction, clear, accurate sound, powerful bass and superior imaging all at a price that made great sound available to everyone. The reborn Monitor Series is classic Polk: a quality built, affordable line of high-performance loudspeakers for music and home theater. They are highly efficient, so they can be driven easily by unpretentious receivers, and they are voice matched for lifelike surround sound environments. The Monitor Series boasts a stylish look that complements today's flat screen technology, with wood grain finishes and modern black front. Built for speed, sound and value, the Monitor Series is a great introduction to high performance sound.

Superior sound from Polk

Center channel performance

The original Polk Monitor Series, produced in the mid 1970s, ushered in the modern loudspeaker era by setting the standard for performance and value.

Designed with usage in mind

Reversible design with flexibility to position the loudspeaker below ear level. Turn the cabinet upside down and it aims the sound up, at listening level

Flexibility to expand and grow your setup

The entire Monitor Series II range is timbre-matched (similarly tuned) so you can pair with Monitor 60 or 70 Tower Speakers and Monitor 40 Bookshelf Speakers for a unified and immersive experience. Combine them all for a surround sound setup.

Questions

Which in-wall front speakers would you recommend to pair with the Polk Audio CS1 center speaker?

Asked by: TSimon
The RC55I will make for a good match for the CS1 center channel. You may also want to consider the 65-RT In-Wall speaker, as it shares a similar Tweeter found in the CS1 center channel and is considered a slight upgrade to the RC55I.

On the CS1 series 2 center channel what would I set for hertz on my Onkyo av?

Asked by: ErikVonZigg
Hello, If you have a sub-woofer, it is recommended to set the crossover to 80 Hz for the CS1 Series 2. if you do not have a sub-woofer, it is better to leave the CS1 Series 2 set to full range.

Will this match well with the Polk Monitor 55T tower speakers? I am also running the FXi A4's as my rears and a Bose VCS 10 as center. So I would prefer a Polk for the Center channel. I'm just not sure which to go with.

Asked by: Porkchop
The CS1 center channel speaker blends well in almost all systems in small to medium-sized rooms. You may also want to consider the Polk Audio ES30 center speaker for medium to larger-sized rooms.

Can this speaker be used on a covered deck outdoors?

Asked by: Daw64
The Polk CS1 Monitor Series II speakers are designed to work indoors. While they may "work" in a covered area outdoors, the worry there might be with outdoor elements the covered deck can't protect the speaker from like humidity and other natural issues.
