Polk Monitor XT30: Compact Center, Big Impact

Engineered to deliver crystal-clear dialogues and immersive sound, the Polk Monitor XT30 Center Channel Speaker brings cinematic clarity to movies, gaming, and music. Its Dynamically Balanced acoustic array combines a 1" High-Resolution Terylene Tweeter with dual 5.25" polypropylene woofers to create a wide, detailed soundstage from a compact footprint. Hi-Res Audio Certification ensures accurate reproduction from compatible sources and AVRs, so you hear every line and subtle environmental detail with fidelity.

The XT30 is built to perform with modern home theater gear.
