Manufacturer's description

Polk PSW111 Compact Subwoofer Speaker

The evolution of high performance bass.
The PSW111 Powered Subwoofer delivers powerful, accurate and musical bass from a shockingly small enclosure. Small enough to hide behind (or in) furniture or tuck into a corner, the PSW111 easily disappears from view. But its big bass output will never let you forget that it's there, delivering all the visceral gut rumble for your favorite action movies as well as tight, accurate bass precision for your music. The PSW111 represents a continuing refinement of the highly regarded PSW Series and a great introduction to visceral home theater bass performance. Its compact design is the perfect complement to Polk RM Series and SurroundBar™ loudspeakers.

PSW111 Features:

  • Measuring 12-1/8"H X 11"W X 13" D, the PSW111's unobtrusive size hides the fact that it pounds out really big bass.
  • It is the perfect complement to Polk RM Series and SurroundBar™ models.
  • 8-inch Dynamic Balance Composite Woofer Driver creates “tight,” musical bass.
  • Downward firing port couples to the room for more bass impact.
  • Powerful motor structure for a higher BL product,(the measure of the motive force applied to the cone) results in louder, deeper and punchier bass than previous Polk woofers in this price category.
  • Klippel Optimized woofer – By using a state-of-the-art Klippel Distortion Analyzer, Polk engineers were able to optimize the woofer’s motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension for the best possible performance even at extreme listening levels.
  • Compression Circuitry limits distortion at earth-shaking volume levels.
  • Built-in High Current Amplifier supplies all the good, clean power you need for the bass volume and and wide dynamic range necessary to recreate a life-like experience in your home.
  • LINE and SPEAKER level inputs on the PSW111 ensure easy hook-up compatibility with virtually any system; There's also an Unfiltered LFE Input for use with low-pass filtered subwoofer output jacks.
  • Amplifier features: Adjustable Low-Pass Crossover, Phase Switch and Subwoofer Volume Control to more easily control your bass output and the sub’s blending characteristics with your front stage speakers.
  • Signal-sensing “smart amp” Auto ON/OFF Circuitry “knows” when to turn itself on and off.
  • Non-resonant MDF construction with internal bracing for deep bass impact with superior detail, accuracy and musicality.

Good sound: only for smaller rooms
Reviewer: mek90703 from Cerritos on Feb 22, 2008

Like all Polk products, this speaker has great sound and looks good. I have a large room where my surround system is (18X25) and I had to crank this thing up to get the levels I wanted. I should have purchased the 12' sub but the wife nixed that because it was too big. Oh well. This is a great sub for small and medium room sizes.

Great sound from a small sub!
Reviewer: Steve B. from Orlando on Jun 17, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I purchased this sub mainly based on the reviews I read here and at other stores with on-line reviews. Polk delivers the goods with tight bass that sounds great whether listening to music or watching your favorite action movie.

This sub replaced my 10'Sony entry level powered sub. I am running a Yamaha RX-V659 receiver, Sony center channel, and some unknown brand of ceiling speakers that came with the house.

Set-up was simple and I immediately put in Batman Returns on DVD. Needless to say I was blownaway by the sub during the action sequences. My room 12 x 16 sounded like I was watching the movie in a much larger home theatre with a much larger sub.

Stunning sound from such a small package!
Reviewer: Mac from SC on Jun 1, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I purchased this little guy to replace an older powered subwoofer that was going bad and I was very skeptical about this one at first. I really didn't think that something this small could sound as good as it does. But boy was I wrong, this thing soundsawesome! It won't shake the house quite like my old 12' would, but I was definitely looking for something smaller so this one is just fine. The best thing about this sub (as well as as all Polk subs) is the clarity and cleanliness of the bass. My old sub was very muddy and sloppy and this is very smooth and precise. For the money, it is by far the best 8' sub you can by. If you are looking for something small to put out lots of bass, then this is the sub for you!
