PRODUCT FEATURES

The RT1000i and RT2000i share many tech- nologies and features with Polk’s state-of- the-art Signature Reference Theater system® (SRT®), for outstanding music and home theater performance at a very afford- able price. Built-in powered subwoofers for ground shaking music and home theater performance. By eliminating the need for

a separate powered subwoofer, you’ll save money and floor space too!

Dynamic Balance drivers and tweeters for wide, smooth response and low distortion (shared feature with SRT).

Power Port patented bass venting system vastly reduces air turbulence at the mouth of the port for lower distortion and more powerful bass (shared feature with SRT).

High Velocity Compression Drive® (HVCD) patented subwoofer technology using magnetically powerful, high mass drive systems in special band pass enclosures to produce greater output with higher efficiency (shared feature with SRT).

Speed Matching® technology matches the start and decay rates of the mid/high frequency array with the subwoofer. The result is seamless blending with precise attack, speed and dynamic contrast (shared feature with SRT).

Anti-diffraction bezel and grille minimize reflections (diffraction) which color the sound and degrade stereo imaging. RT towers provide crystal clear midrange and open, spacious imaging.

Asymmetrical cabinet bracing (shared feature with SRT) reduces cabinet panel resonance for accurate, uncolored sound.

Carpet spikes and rubber feet for optimum stability on any floor surface.

Auto on/off circuit turns power amp on when a signal is sensed and off when sound signals cease. This feature saves time and energy too (shared feature with SRT).

CARACTERÍSTICAS DE

LAS TORRES DE POTENCIA RT

Los modelos RT1000i y RT2000i comparten mucha tecnología y muchas características con el último adelanto de Polk: el sistema “Signature Reference Theater” (SRT). Con estos modelos usted obtendrá un rendimiento musical y de teatro en el hogar sobre- saliente, a un precio accesible. La elimi- nación del subwoofer de potencia separado le ahorra a usted dinero y espacio.

Los drivers y tweeters Dynamic Balance proporcionan una respuesta amplia y flui- da con muy poca distorsión (característi- ca compartida con el SRT).

El sistema patentado Power Port para la ventilación de bajos reduce enormemente la turbulencia del aire en la boca del puerto, de tal manera que se produzca poca distorsión y bajos más potentes (característica compartida con el SRT)

La tecnología patentada para subwoofers “High Velocity Compression Drive” (HVCD), aumenta tanto la salida como la eficiencia, mediante sistemas de drivers de alta masa, magnéticamente potentes, dentro de gabinetes especiales tipo “band pass”, (característica compartida con el SRT).

La tecnología “Speed Matching” iguala las velocidades de arranque y desinte- gración del conjunto de frecuencias en la gama del registro mediano y alto con las del subwoofer. El resultado es una fusión fluida con fuerza, velocidad, y contraste dinámico precisos (característica com- partida con el SRT).

El bisel y rejillas diseñados para combat- ir la difracción minimizan los reflejos (difracción) que colorean el sonido y debilitan las imágenes en estéreo. Las torres RT proporcionan un registro medi- ano de claridad cristalina e imágenes abiertas y espaciosas.

Los soportes asimétricos de los gabinetes (característica compartida con el SRT). reducen la resonancia de los entrepaños de los gabinetes para producir un sonido preciso y sin tonalidades distorsionadas

PRODUKTSPEZIFIKATIONEN DER AKTIVEN RT STANDLAUTSPRECHER

Der RT1000i and RT2000i hat viele technolo- gische Neuerungen und Besonderheiten mit Polks allerneuesten “Signature Reference Theater System (SRT) gemeinsam für aussergewöhnliche Musik und Heimtheater- Leistung zu einem sehr vernünftigen Preis.

Dynamic Balance Treiber und Tweeter für breite, gute Empfindlichkeit und geringe Verzerrung (gemeinsam mit SRT).

“Power Port”, ein patentierte Öffnung am Baß Ventilator-System reduziert wesentlich die Luft-Turbulenz am Eingang der Öffnung für geringere Verzerrung und stärkeren Baß (gemeinsam mit SRT).

“High Velocity Compression Drive,” der patentierte Hochgeschwindigkeits- Kompressionsantrieb mit kräftigen Magneten und Membranen hoher Dichte in speziellen Bandpassgehäusen für mehr Leistung (gemeinsames Leistungsmerk- mal mit dem SRT-System).

Geschwindingkeits-Anpassungs Technologie passt die Anfangs- und Abbau Raten des Mitt-Hoch-Frequenz Felds zu dem Subwoofer an. Das Resultat ist eine nahtlose Blendung mit präzisem Angriff, präziser Geschwindigkeit und dynamis- chem Kontrast (gemeinsam mit SRT).

Speziell konzipierte Lautsprecher- ummantelungen und Grillabdeckungen verhindern die Ablenkung von Schallwellen, die den Klang verfälschen und die Stereoabbildung beeinträchtigen können. Die RT-Lautsprechersäulen liefern glasklare Mitten bei gleichzeitig extrem räumlicher Wiedergabe.

Die Asymmetrie der Gehäusewände (wie im SRT-System) verhindert Resonanzen im Inneren des Gehäuses, was zu einem detaillierten, unverfälschten Klang verhilft.

Teppichspikes und Gummifüße garantieren optimale Standfestigkeit auf jedem Untergrund.
