POLK AUDIO—A HISTORY

OF EXCELLENCE

Polk Audio was founded in 1972 by Matthew Polk and George Klopfer. Their dream was to make the highest performance speakers, at reasonable prices. They did so by applying scientific principles to speaker design and by concentrating solely on the speaker business. That’s why they’re “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 innovative, 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 dedicat- ed Polk team members to bring you the best speakers you can buy.
