Time Lens Technology
Time Lens technology aligns the acoustic centers of the tweeter and mid-bass driver on the same spatial plane for superior imaging, while an acoustic lens incorporated in the grille smoothes the tweeter's frequency response. This alignment and grille lens technology creates imaging realism and frequency balance unheard of in small, high performance satellite speakers.
Curved Enclosure Design
Employs non-parallel surfaces that not only lead to a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure, but they also result in less audible coloration from internal surface resonances. We've literally designed-out the usual limitations of small-enclosures. It's a new category of compact loudspeaker: the kind that sounds amazing. (And looks great doing it.)
Dynamic BalanceĀ® Driver Technology
If you could tune out the bad sounds before they even happen, you'd do it, wouldn't you? Polk Audio's patented Dynamic Balance process allows us to design our drivers specifically for flatter frequency response, revealing the sharpest details and a more lifelike transparency, with absolutely no strain even at high volume. It's a bold, rich, warm and lifelike sound.

Overview:
High performance, compact size, surprising price
Small improvements can be tremendously rewarding. So don't settle for flat sound from your flat panel TV. Don't miss out on the excitement of digital surround-sound in your shows, movies and gaming experience. Here's a small improvement that makes a big difference. The new BlackstoneTL1, a compact speaker system that outperforms any other speaker in its class. Unlike the others, TL1 is built with high performance in mind. Add a Subwoofer and achieve unbelievable levels of TV-watching excitement in your small theater room, den or bedroom with the TL1.
Your center channel speaker is the one that delivers the lion's share of audio info to you, sitting on the couch, immersed in the illusion of truly cinematic surround-sound. Not only do you demand clear dialogue, but also a timbre-matched anchor for the action onscreen. The TL1 Center Channel Speaker, available as part of the TL150 5-pack and TL1600 6-piece system, or separately, in two finishes, is the workhorse of the TL1 Series. Dual drivers, matched to the satellite speakers in the system, give you a compact focal point for your home theater excitement.
