Polk Audio’s Signature Elite ES50 floor-standing speakers transform your living room theater into a full-fledged cinematic experience, boasting room-filling sound and an elegant aesthetic. This robust-sounding floor-standing speaker comes equipped with two 5.25-inch mica-fortified polypropylene drivers — which, when paired with Polk’s Power Port — offer more than enough low end to make every explosion, soundtrack, and beat hit with stunning depth and detail. On the opposite end of the sonic spectrum, a 1-inch high-resolution Terylene tweeter grants immaculate top-end clarity that’s well suited for high-resolution playback and spatial sound formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. And, like every speaker in Polk Audio’s impressive Signature Elite series, the ES50’s top-quality cabinet is crafted with acoustically inert damped Medite MDF to eliminate unwanted resonance and offer a clear, uncolored response. Whether you’re after top-quality stereo speakers for your hi-fi music rig or you need a pair of rock-solid front speakers for your home theater, Polk Audio’s Signature Elite ES50 floor-standing speakers deliver exquisite sound across the entire sonic spectrum.
Crisp top-end detail
Polk Audio’s Signature Elite series of speakers emboldens your music, movies, and games with crisp top-end definition thanks to their Terylene dome tweeters. Combined with a muscular low-resonance ceramic motor structure, Polk Audio’s Terylene dome tweeters provide a remarkably detailed response past 40kHz — a quality that Sweetwater’s home audio pros find especially apparent when enjoying high-resolution music playback, ultra-HD movies, and spatial audio mixes such as Dolby Atmos or DTS:X.
Enjoy clear and uncolored sound
Each speaker in Polk Audio’s Signature Elite range boasts a robust cabinet crafted with critically damped Medite MDF, designed to remain acoustically inert. These cabs dramatically reduce undesirable resonance and standing waves to result in the purest, clearest, and most uncolored sound possible. What’s more, Polk Audio Signature Elite speakers boast an anti-diffraction grille designed to eliminate sonic interference; the grille can also be easily removed if you prefer the more mechanical look of uncovered cones.
Bolster your bass with Polk’s Power Port
Whether you’re enjoying a movie or playing your favorite tracks, a powerful low-end response elevates any listening experience with depth and authority. Luckily, Polk Audio’s Signature Elite speakers come equipped with Polk Audio’s patented Power Port bass technology, smoothly guiding the airflow from your speaker’s port to its intended audience. Whether you’re running compact ES15 surround speakers or full-size ES60 speaker towers, Polk Audio’s Power Port technology supplies a rich, deep, bass sound, with minimal distortion and a balanced midrange.
