Polk Audio CSi5 Center Speaker

General constructive features of "big brother" CSi3 are also repeated in the model with index 5. But the speaker system "split" in all respects, including the increased amount of the used technologies. An adjustable leg, which allows you to install the speaker system on uneven surfaces, has appeared on the back panel. In addition to frontal bass-reflex port, another two ports, which are equipped with the branded Power Port diffusor, were added on the back panel. This element, being installed opposite the bass-reflex port, allows avoiding air swirls at the output of the port and thus "save" up to 3 dB, on which the level of sound wave at the output of usual bass-reflex "falls". CSi5 has two pairs of screw terminals that allow bi-wiring (or bi-amping) connection. Mylar capacitors, which give according to the manufacturer detailing and transparency to sound, are used in the high-quality crossovers.

Sound. The main advantages of the model need to include deep, large, elastic, volumetric bass. The speaker system very spectacularly, even growlingly delivers the speech of low male voices - baritone, bass. A rough naturalness of LF special effects impresses: shootings. Roar of truck and other powerful splashes of acoustic energy are not able to disarrange the sound of the speaker system. It is important that at the same time we feel a significant reserve of energy. The model slightly softens thrusts of the upper register and veils the elements of noise arrangements. On the other hand, sometimes it markedly focuses on detail that may lead to auditory fatigue. CSi5 is not for gentle ears.
