RM8 WIDE-DISPERSION ARRAY SATELLITE LOUDSPEAKER

The RM8 Wide-Dispersion Array Satellite Loudspeaker ensures more dispersion pattern options for the utmost in placement flexibility. The satellite is offered with a center channel in 5-Pack Speaker Systems (subwoofer sold separately). (See chart on page 7.)

RM8 WIDE-DISPERSION ARRAY

potelkchnology

WIDE-DISPERSION ARRAY

The RM8 front channel satellites feature two 2 1/2″ midrange drivers, with one midrange driver and a 3/4″ dome tweeter on one baffle and a single midrange on the adjacent baffle. This Wide-Dispersion Array design creates a more enveloping, less localizable sound for listeners throughout the room. Even off-axis listeners hear perfectly balanced and articulate sounds. The Wide- Dispersion Array affords more dispersion pattern options for the utmost in placement flexibility.

DYNAMIC BALANCE®

Advanced laser imaging technology allowed Polk Audio engineers to see the entire vibrating surface of a driver and tweeter; they could actually see the resonance develop on the speaker cones—resonance that is the root cause of loudspeaker distortion (A). Being able to see the resonance develop, they determined the “Dynamic Balance” of high-tech materials, geometry, and construction that effectively tunes out the offending resonance (B). Exclusive Dynamic Balance Composite Material Technology delivers sound |that’s effortlessly clean and clear, even at lifelike volume. See more about Dynamic Balance at www.polkaudio.com/catalog/technology/.
