PSWi225 specifications

The Polk Audio PSWi225 is a notable addition to the world of wireless subwoofers, designed to deliver rich, deep bass while seamlessly integrating with your audio setup. One of its standout features is the 10-inch driver, which provides powerful low-frequency response, enhancing the overall sound quality during music playback, movies, or gaming.

One of the key technologies integrated into the PSWi225 is the use of Polk’s proprietary power port technology. This innovation allows for larger, air-filled ports to minimize distortion and improve bass performance. The Power Port design ensures that the subwoofer delivers a full-bodied sound, enabling a punchier bass response that can truly elevate the listening experience.

Moreover, the PSWi225 offers a wireless connection, allowing for easy placement anywhere in the room without the hassle of cables. This feature is particularly appealing to those who appreciate a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. The wireless capabilities are made possible through a built-in amplifier that provides 200 watts of dynamic power, ensuring that the subwoofer can handle even the most demanding soundtracks without breaking a sweat.

The PSWi225 is not only designed for performance but also for ease of use. It features simple volume and crossover controls on the rear panel, allowing users to tailor the subwoofer to their particular space and preferences. Its frequency response ranges from 38Hz to 160Hz, granting excellent flexibility in adjusting bass levels to suit various media, whether it be traditional stereo music or multi-channel home theater sound.

Additionally, the PSWi225’s design is both stylish and functional. The low-profile cabinet with a sleek finish makes it an attractive addition to any room, complementing other audio equipment and home decor. Its built-in feet and non-slip design help maintain stability, even during intense listening sessions.

In summary, the Polk Audio PSWi225 subwoofer combines advanced technology with aesthetic appeal, providing users with enhanced audio experiences. By incorporating features such as wireless connectivity, power port technology, and user-friendly controls, the PSWi225 stands out as a powerful yet versatile subwoofer that meets the demands of modern entertainment setups.
