POWERPORT
®
Polk Audio loudspeakers shatter the boundaries of bass response with patented PowerPort bass
venting technology. Conventional ports have limitations: air turbulence at the mouth of the port can
cause “port noise” and bass output losses of up to 3dB. (A loss of 3dB means that half of your
amplifier power is being wasted on turbulence instead of bass!) The distinctive design of the Polk
Audio PowerPort gradually slows air exiting the port, vastly reducing turbulence, port noise and
energy loss. The result is bass that you will feel as well as hear; bass that reaches out, grabs
you by the lapels and shakes you up—for a completely visceral and emotional movie and music
experience. See more about PowerPort at www.polkaudio.com/catalog/technology/.
