The Story of Dynamic Balance®

Your new Polk speakers employ Dynamic Balance, a technology which came out of a joint research project between Polk Audio and Johns Hopkins University. This laser imaging research enables us to view the entire vibrating surface of a driver or tweeter, allowing us to observe the resonances which develop on speaker cones as they move. These resonances are the root cause of frequency response distortions.

As an x-ray enables a physician to discover the root cause of a symptom and thereby pre- scribe the right treatment for a cure, this laser imaging technique allows Polk engineers to find the right combination of high-tech materials, geometry and construction techniques to tune out the offending resonances. The benefit of Dynamic Balance is the dramatic improvement in the sound quality of our speakers, which every listener can appreciate. You no longer have to choose between excellent bass and smooth, clear midrange and highs. Now you can have it all, thanks to Dynamic Balance technology.

Laser Interferometry tests produced holographic “photos” of drivers in motion. The “bad” drivers are experiencing modal breakup that results in performance-robbing resonances. A “perfect” driver would look like a cake (flat on top), more, like the photo on the right.
