User questions & answers

Question:	What in your opinion is the best power setting for normal use, "on" or "auto" for this unit
Answer:	I would say depends if you use the item everyday/constantly as your sound for your surround. Or if you use surround/theater occasionally. If the latter I would use `on/off` , if you use it often or primarily the auto would be the way to go in my opinion. Plus is the sub easy to get to? Auto is great if its behind furniture or out of reach,etc.
Question:	Does this speaker have a volume control? Thanks
Answer:	Just to clarify something a previous reviewer stated: "Note: If you are using a Sub out/LFE connection from your receiver turn the Low Pass all the way up. " This does not apply to receivers with which you can specify the low-pass cutover frequency. For example, my modest Onkyo receiver has cutover settings of 80/100/120 HZ for the LFE/Sub output. If you have this option, you should consult your main speaker's manual for suggested low-pass settings or simply tune them by ear. For my setup, 120 HZ was both the recommended and best-sounding cutover frequency. 160 HZ was a little muddy :)
Question:	Can this sub be added to a Vizio 2.0 sound bar, for small to medium-sized HDTV's? If not, what should I get? For TV/Games/Music
Answer:	Like John, I too have a Vizio 2.0 sound bar and this pairs very well. I have a small theater room (10 x 20) and this one 10" fills the room. This sub is the best bang for the buck you can get.
Question:	Do I need a Y-adpater? A sound tech told me one sub wire would do the trick and just plug it into the L and ignore the R. Is this true
Answer:	Initially, used a one wire connection. Sounded OK, but .... Got a "Y" connector, attached at the rear of the amp, ran L & R wires to the PSW10: sounds amazing now and very adjustable. Need to get the PSW12 to get a one wire connection. Am very satisfied with this sub and would recommend it. Used in a 12' X 20' room, front/back/center and now the sub. Tom

User questions & answers

Question:	Can Polk audio rc80i connect to the 400w subwoofer
Answer:	If there’s no subwoofer out option on your receiver, you’ll fund plenty of youtube tutorials on how to still add the active sub.
Question:	What is the impedance on this sub
Answer:	I believe it is 8 ohms ,most house speakers are rated at 8 ohms unlike the 4 or 2 ohm subs for vehicles.
Question:	If receiver or amp does not have LFE out, can full range signal be sent to sub and with upper level signal then sent out to satellites
Answer:	This box is rated 110v-120v. In this configuration it will not work at 240v. Perhaps if you can contact the manufacturer directly they can accommodate you. It should be a simple matter of swapping out a transformer.
Question:	For the 12" model, can someone please measure the exact total depth including the knobs on the back? Thank you
Answer:	I bought a separate woofer with this set. Really great sound. But to answer your question, I don't know.

Answer:	No remote with this subwoofer
Question:	How well does this subwoofer sound as a wireless sub

Question:	Does it include the wireless kit
Answer:	line level RCA inputs are Analog and the LFE is Digital. Hope this helps. I have mine connected to the LFE as my receiver has this output . Note: LFE (Low Frequency Effect) - The discrete content sent to the subwoofer from a Dolby or DTS encoded audio track. ( The .1 in a 5.1 or 7.1 audio track) LFE + Main - The low frequencies output to the Subwoofer whether the speaker channels are set to Large or Small.
Question:	Hi, does the DSW Pro 550wi supports 220 to 240V
Answer:	Hello, There needs to be an additional component, usually a receiver to provide the power to the RC80i speakers. The subwoofer only powers itself.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the crossover range?? Thanks
Answer:	If the cracks are VERY fine, the grout pen may fill them, but this does not apply to silicon grouting, which is generally used to seal the line between counter top and wall. The grout pen is meant for mortar grout.
Question:	can the psw111 surport 220V power
Answer:	Good question. For most grouts it is permanent. However some customers try it on "sealed" grout and it is not able to adhere with the grout, therefore it is temporary.
Question:	I need instruction on how i hook up my polk psw111 8" subwoofer to my yamaha r-n602 reciever. please
Answer:	This product will cover but to me it is just a temp fix if you wash the area often
Question:	They don't have any pictures of the back. Is it powered
Answer:	It all depends on how many layers you apply, I did 3. I have used 4 pens for my kitchen which is roughly 12 by 18ft. Hope this helps

Question:	I have a yamaha receiver that just has a subwoofer pre out jack. can i hook it up for lfe
Answer:	I have the 12 inch version connected to my Yamaha RX-V687BL receiver using one of the two Pre sub out ports and it works phenomenally.
Question:	What is power port is it powered by the amp or the speaker , and is the amp always 8 ohms or does it float from 8 to 4 ohms
Answer:	Power port is actually just a name for their take of a spiked port. They didnt invent it, it's a take off of something Dolby labs put out in a paper in the 80s about using a center mounted Hershey's kiss looking diffuser in the middle of the port to stop port noise. It's all a gimmick and a person over 35 cannot hear the high frequencies generated by the port anyway. The only people who can hear the frequencies are people younger than 20 years old because our hearing decays over time.

TL1600 Blackstone in Use

In our large home theater room the small TL1600 multi-channel system seems almost a little lost. We treated, set up and calibrated the compact speaker system with the same attention as we would with a full-size high-end surround system, to sound as optimal as possible and to really see and hear what it could do. After several hours of burn-in, the Polk Audio TL1600 was ready to prove itself in movie mode. We put ‘The Hobbit‘ trilogy in the blu-ray disc tray and let the special effects of Smaugs wings and roaring fire blast our ears. Admittedly, the subwoofer doesn't dive into the deepest end of the bass pool, but it does a much better job in the upper layers of the bass, which it plays in our room with vigor and precision. To our surprise, the inconspicuous satellites sounded powerful and very balanced without emphasizing individual frequency ranges, even when playing at absurd volume levels. Fine details are well resolved and are easy to spot in even the busiest battle.

TL1 Satellite Speakers & Center

The four very compact TL1 satellite speakers can be discreetly integrated into most homes due to their small dimensions. On the back is a keyhole bracket with which the speaker can be mounted on a wall. Alternatively, you can use the speakers on a shelf or on a suitable stand. Due to the curved shape and molded ridges on the inside of the cabinet, the compact speakers are sufficiently sturdy and stable. As a special feature, the 'Time lens technology', the tweeter is slightly recessed to bring the acoustic centers of the midrange and tweeter on the same spatial plane. The identical satellites are full two-way systems, each equipped with a 65 mm woofer and one 13 mm silk dome. The center speaker have similar features as the satellites, however, the center speaker is for horizontal installation and has two midrange drivers. On the back you'll find an aperiodic-tuned bass reflex port to optimize and push the bass range slightly.

TL1600 Active Subwoofer

To support the satellites in the bass, Polk Audio include an active down-firing subwoofer suitable for rooms up to 70 square feet. Using the 100-watt active amplifier on the back of the subwoofer in combination with a long-stroke 200mm bass driver, the TL1600 generates plenty of momentum from about 45 Hertz. The equipped amplifier allows for infinite adjustment of the cut-off frequency of 80 to 160 Hz and the phase can be adjusted 180 degrees with a switch. High feet with rubber ends decouple the subwoofer from the floor and create the necessary distance to the floor, allowing the driver to move smoothly and breathe. The downward firing vented port is not susceptible to interfering flow noise due to the large diameter.

High Performance, Compact Size, Surprising Value

Now, professional surround-sound excitement is easier and more accessible than ever before. The TL1600 is a complete home theater system, with four TL1 speakers, a TL1 center speaker and a professionally-matched TL1600 powered subwoofer.

User questions & answers

Answer:	Asia......designed in USA manufactured by some asian country , just like all the shoes and pretty much everthing else.
Question:	does anyone know why it has 2 sets of wire inlets on each speaker? Normally it's one set black and red
Answer:	Hello, The speakers require something (usually a receiver) to provide power, this device would then control the speaker's volume.
Question:	Why do these have a set of two connections at the back? Is it for two audio sources
Answer:	These are not Bluetooth speakers so they will not work directly with Echos or Dots and need to be powered by an audio receiver. You can however, use an RCA or Bluetooth connection between an Echo or Dot and the reciever and stream to the speakers.
Question:	Is there a "practical"reason for these speakers to have so many individual speakers inside them
Answer:	I have installed these speakers totally exposed and they have lasted several years the grills might become rusty looking depending on the area you're in
