Polk Audio RTIA1 High-performance Bookshelf Speakers

Innovative Design
The RTi A1 features the latest generation of Dynamic Balance(R) polymer composite drivers for smooth wide-range response with low distortion.

• 1-inch Silk/Polymer Dome Tweeter delivers smooth response and better detail.
  
• PowerPort(R) bass venting for superior clean, low distortion bass that you can really feel.PowerPort vastly reduces chuffing or port noise and provides deeper, more powerful, lower distortion bass than could be realized with conventional ported or sealed designs of comparable size.
  
• Magnetic shielding for safe placement near video sources.
  
• Mylar bypass capacitors in the crossovers extend high frequency response and improve detail and transparency.
  
• Neodymium magnet, low-viscosity ferro-fluid cooling, and a heat sink on the back of the magnet, create better power handling and reliability.
  
• Gold-plated 5-way binding post inputs (with wide holes for large-gauge bare wire connections) for the most secure connections and the most versatile wiring applications.
  
• Butyl rubber surrounds for high performance durability
  
• Acoustically inert stamped driver baskets.
  
• Floating anti-diffraction grilles minimize grille diffraction for spacious, 3-dimensional imaging.

All-MDF construction and asymmetric cabinet design
Cabinet resonance can ruin the sound of an otherwise well-designed speaker. You don't want to hear your speaker cabinets humming along with the music, you want to hear the uncolored sound launched by the drivers and tweeters. We take special pains to make sure that Polk speaker cabinets are resonance-free. Our new RTi A Series loudspeakers employ an asymmetric design composed of a six-layer laminate, the process for which was specifically developed for Polk, and which controls resonance and increases cabinet rigidty.

• All-MDF construction with massive asymmetric cabinet bracing ensures resonance-free enclosures for accurate sound. (Cutaway view of RTiA9 shown right, bracing is similar on other RTi models)
  
• Real Wood finishes at vinyl prices.
  
• Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate Isolation (DAHLI) cabinet design for clean, accurate sound. The asymmetric design is made from a 6-layer laminate with 5 viscous layers to create the optimal shear damping (OSD) system. The process was specifically developed for Polk. Their elegant styling aside, creating curved cabinets not only results in a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure, but the curved walls also produce less audible coloration from panel resonances.
