I-SONIC ES2

THE NEW I-SONIC®ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM 2 IT SITS ON A TABLE, BUT IT FILLS A ROOM

The I-Sonic®Entertainment System 2 from Polk Audio® is the best sounding and most advanced table-top entertainment sys- tem available. Featuring exclusive I-Sonic and PowerPort® audio technologies, the I-Sonic ES2 produces high-performance room- filling sound from an easy-to-use system you can place virtually anywhere in your home.

Polk Audio leads the industry in generating innovations that bring more enjoyment to your audio entertainment. The I-Sonic ES2 is the first audio component to combine HD Radio® and an iPod dock with an audiophile grade speaker system that lets you hear all the sound quality potential of its digital age sources. As if all this technology wasn’t enough, we’ve been hard at work with Apple and iBiquity (the inventors of HD Radio) to add a music lover’s dream feature—iTunes Tagging.

iTUNES TAGGING

How often have you heard a piece of music on the radio, wanted to be able to buy it, or at least write down the song title and artist’s name, only to forget the information? With iTune’s Tagging, you can build your music library at the touch of a Tag button.

The Tag button, located on the front of the I-Sonic ES2, enables you to use fifth generation iPods, iPod classics and third generation iPod nanos to tag songs you hear on an HD Radio broadcast. When the tag button lights, press it, and data about the song (the tag) is stored in the I-Sonic ES2. Dock your iPod onto the I-Sonic ES2, and the tagged song data is transferred. When you connect your iPod to your computer, iTunes automatically presents the songs in a new Tagged playlist so you can preview, buy, and download them. iTunes Tagging is a great way to discover new music and add it to your collection!

I-SONIC SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY

Polk’s engineering breakthrough changes the rules for small system performance. Conventional table-top systems “beam” the sound straight towards the listener, even those with two speakers. At best, these designs can create a stereo soundfield for someone seated directly facing the unit. It’s not at all satisfying for any other listeners in the room. Only Polk’s exclusive, patent-pending I-Sonic design lets everyone in the room enjoy the rich sound. The I-Sonic stereo soundfield is projected all around. No matter where you are in the room.
