FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do they fit on the ceiling?****

Yes, provided you have the right speaker mount. The speakers are mounted using the standard keyhole and single hole.

Are these wireless speakers?****

No, they aren’t wireless.

Can Singaporeans use this?****

Since they are not powered, these speakers will function properly wherever.

Are Polk speakers any good?****

Because it offers the best balance of performance, design, usability, and cost, we chose the Polk Signature Elite Series as our favorite. The speakers look fantastic and sound as good as anything we’ve tried in their price range.

Is home theater same as surround sound?****

A home theatre system, in brief, refers to the entire setup, including a TV, DVD/Blu-Ray player, and, yes, surrounds sound speakers. In other words, while surround sound is present in every home theatre system, the best surround sound systems aren’t.

Is it better to have a sound bar or home theater?****

A surround-sound system is probably what you want if you enjoy home theatre. A soundbar, regardless of price, cannot compare to the audio experience provided by a 2.1, 5.1, or an Atmos 5.1. 4 – channel setup.

What is difference between 2.1 and 5.1 home theater?****

There are 5 speakers total in a 5.1 system, including the front center, left, and right speakers. For a surround sound effect, it also has back left, right, and subwoofer speakers. A 2.1 system consists of merely a subwoofer and the Left and Right front channels.

Is soundbar better than speakers?****

Soundbars can’t compete with the audio quality of speaker systems. Their size contributes to this in part. But it’s also because you can create true surround sound by dispersing speakers throughout a space.

Is stereo or 5.1 surround sound better?****

A real 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound system is a preferable choice if you want to hear all the sound effects in action, thriller, and sci-fi movies.

Do home theaters use a lot of electricity?****

Our consumption increased to 244 watts when we installed a powered subwoofer and 5.1-channel home theatre.

Is a projector or TV better for a home theater?****

You would need a bright screen in order to see the image well if your home theatre was in a room with continual light sources. TVs can be installed in places that front a lot of light because they are much brighter.

Are subwoofers worth it for home theater?****

You will be exposed to inadequate bass or overly pressured highs without the subwoofer. There won’t be a full, balanced sound. However, the frequencies in the bottom and sub-bass range are what give the music its fullness, making it complete, powerful, and even three-dimensional.
