— PC Games and Movie Soundtracks Come Alive In Full Range Surround Sound
From A Single Cabinet And Wireless Subwoofer —
Polk Audio is shipping a new addition to its family of SurroundBar integrated home theater speakers, marking a leap forward in surround sound for fans of PC games and home theater.
The new SurroundBar SDA Instant Home Theater (IHT) brings the celebrated Polk sound to virtually any gaming or home entertainment system. The IHT hooks up in minutes, and features a compact, innovative wireless subwoofer.
“Gamers have been calling for a sound solution as advanced and straightforward as this one,” says Mark Suskind, Vice President of Polk Product Line Management. “Until now there have been too many compromises needed to get immersive audio that’s also convenient for the player. Polk’s new IHT is a high performance, yet simple and affordable solution for anybody who wants a full-range gaming experience.”
The Polk IHT distinguishes itself from its competition by virtue of its storied Polk Audio engineering. Six drivers have been employed to provide a broad, accurate sound field that presents the listener with clarity and realism. Four 2 ½” treated composite bass-midrange drivers provide remarkable impact from the SurroundBar’s compact frame (only 31.75″ W x 4″ H and 4.65″ D), while two 13mm polymer dome tweeters provide extended high frequency response out to 22 KHz. Polk’s patented SDA Stereo Dimensional Array Technology creates a realistic surround image without the use of rear or side speakers.
The Instant Home Theater’s matching wireless subwoofer is a compact 6 ½” floor-firing design that thanks to an integrated wireless transmitter. With set-up taking just a few minutes, the sub can be placed anywhere in the listening room without the need for cumbersome subwoofer cabling. The sub’s treated carbon fiber drivers provide tight, authoritative bass that brings a new level of impact to the soundbar category, with response down to an impressive 40 Hz. The IHT system connects to the stereo audio output jacks of any TV or gaming system.
Polk Audio’s SurroundBar SDA Instant Home Theater (IHT) is available at a suggested selling price of $499.
