POLK AUDIO—

A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE

Polk Audio was founded in 1972 by Matthew Polk and George Klopfer. Their dream was to make speakers with the performance of the world’s best speakers, at reasonable prices. They did so by applying scientific principles to speaker design and by concentrating sole- ly on the speaker business. That is how Polk became known as “The Speaker Specialists®.”

Today Polk Audio is still headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland and is now one of the world’s largest manufacturers of home and car loudspeakers. Polk’s research has yielded over 20 patents for advances in loudspeaker performance and value. Polk speakers have earned the praise of audio experts the world over, as well as dozens of awards for innova- tive, high-quality design. Polk Audio speakers are sold in over 50 countries and in audio/ video specialist retail locations throughout the U.S.

Founders Matthew Polk and George Klopfer still work alongside 300 dedicated Polk team members to bring you the best speakers you can buy.
