The Polk Audio Reserve R500 is a slim loudspeaker designed to deliver accurate, controlled performance for both music and home cinema systems. Positioned within Polk Audio's Reserve Series, it incorporates technologies derived from higher-end designs, with a focus on clarity, wide dispersion and balanced tonal response.
High frequencies are reproduced by Polk Audio's Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter, developed to extend treble response while maintaining smooth off-axis performance. Midrange and bass frequencies are handled by dual Turbine cone drivers, engineered to reduce resonance and improve vocal clarity.
The cabinet is designed to minimise unwanted resonance and uses a rear-firing bass reflex system to support low-frequency output. The R500 is intended to integrate easily into a wide range of listening rooms, whether used in a dedicated stereo system or as part of a multi-channel home cinema setup.
