About this item

  • Features a 2.5-inch driver and a 0.5-inch silk dome tweeter for more realistic audio detailing and a sound comparable to any large surround sound system
  • The aperiodic-tuned rear port delivers bass extension and boosts the audio on a shelf or against the wall
  • Designed to align the acoustic centers of the tweeter and mid-bass in the same plane, making it feel like you are in the movie instead of just watching it
  • Create an immersive surround sound system by installing four to eight of these TL1 satellite speakers, a TL1 center channel, and any subwoofer of your choice
  • No matter how you choose to set it up, front speakers, left-right surrounds, or rear surrounds for heightened effect, the speaker easily connects to a receiver


The TL1 satellite speaker pair brings digital surround sound excitement to home entertainment in an ultra-compact design. The silk dome tweeter and mid-range driver coupled with Time Lens technology deliver smooth highs, superior audio detail and pinpoint imaging. Polk's proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance technology tunes out distortion-causing driver and system resonances. It also features an "aperiodic-tuned rear port" that is designed for better bass extension and a pleasing mid-bass boost, with the ability to deliver great sound even in the open or against a wall. The unit’s hi-Gloss "Blackstone" finish matches today's most stylish flat-panel TVs and furniture. Built-in keyhole slots and threaded inserts makes for easy mounting of the speaker.

My other speakers are all BOSE and very nice quality and I have an Onkyo THX reciever. This speaker provides rich depth that is needed to balance out with the other speakers.

I bought a pair to up my home theater from 7.2 to 9.2 and I love them. I am likely to buy another pair to replace my front height channels.

I bought 6 of these and TL SERIES subwoofer and center speaker connected to denon 7.2 receiver for small basement area it sounds good for the price. Without occupying any space on the floor provides similar quality sound with these wall mounted satellite speaker for 150 inch 4K projection on wall . I was able to setup a budget level 7.2 Dolby atmos home theater without compromising the quality

I am using these as rear satellite speakers, and as an upgrade to the speakers I was using. No noise, fits the bill- inconspicuous.

Using 2 of these as rear surround speakers in my 5.1 system in my bedroom. They are simply fantastic... Crossed them over at 120Hz and they are handling everything perfectly,. Movies have really come to life. Especially great sound considering their compact size. Easy to install on wall with the keyhole mount. Quality construction. Movie sound effects are rocking with these. My bedroom is 11' X 15' and they are perform amazingly, paired with paradigm Monitor front, center and subwoofer and a Denon AVR-S540BT AVRHighly recommend these speakers,. Polk has done a great job

Wanted something small like the Bose cubes without an additional base module - or the huge price tag. I've had plenty of Polk audio stuff before, so knew I was getting a good set of speakers.They work perfectly as upper-front speakers in my 7.1 system.

I replaced my older Polk Audio satellite speakers with these, and the center speakers and the difference was amazing. It was really good before, now its stellar. These would not be good without a sub woofer, which i got the 10" sub to replace my old 8" sub.I highly recommend these, for the price, and sound quality, you cant beat it, but again for surround sound system, haven't tried them with just music yet, but I'm sure they are fine.

I ordered two of these to replace my old surround speakers wish weren't sounding good anymore. Things is that they came in different packages and one of them was definitely a return seemed someone drilled a small hole in the lower end of the return speaker I hava no idea why so unfortunately I'll be returning it also. They look great but don't know about the sound yet don't want to set them up until I get the replacement one hopefully a new one this time. Will update my review after but they do look nice and I'm sure they do a good job as my surrounds. Hey guys I'm happy to say that I got my replacement very quick. I finally got to set this up and the sound that comes out of this are incredible prefect highs and the midrange is awesome near in mind that I use this for surround only but if your planning to use them as front speaker you will defenetly need a sub for they produce no lows at all. I'm very happy with my purchase and will definitely recommend this good looking speakers

Got a pair from Amazon Warehouse for less than $100. Listed as slightly scratched, they came in pristine condition, if you ignore a couple fingerprints where they had been inspected. These are nice, efficient 2 ways. Polk lists them at 89db. They make great satellite/surrounds and have a broad dynamic range to them, considering the woofer size. I was able to kick down the crossover frequency of my surround channels from 240hz to 120hz and the TL1s sounded very clear. While they are fine for video surround playback, where I thought they really shined was in 5.1 audio playback. I have an extensive and eclectic music collection, and these ate up everything I threw at them...Jazz, Blues, Rock, R&B, Punk, Synth-Pop, Trance, Trip-hop, Dubstep, Classical. Upgrade those crappy old single speaker satellites that came with your 5.1 or 7.1 system with a pair of these. Your ears will be glad you did.

Compact Audio Surprise!I purchased two Polk Audio TL 1 speakers in an attempt to add true 5.1 Surround Sound for a Yamaha YHT-S401 sound bar. While I was pretty happy with the YHT-S401's "virtual" 7.1 capabilities, adding the TL 1's as satellite surround sound left/right speakers for true 5.1 sound to this sound bar system really created a superior sound stage experience.Good to know:-Excellent value-.5" Silk dome tweeter , 2.5" midrange driver and injection-molded diaphragm results in surprising well blended sound-Very good high frequency capabilities; less capable with low frequencies but was designed to be pared with a separate subwoofer-High quality, solid construction made of molded high-density resin-Beautiful piano-black resin = lots of fingerprints-Best for small to mid-sized rooms-I carefully compared the TL1s to the more expensive (larger speaker, tweeter & driver ) Polk Satellite TL2's in the same series and while the TL 2's sounded great too, I didn't hear any improvements in my setup and room size over the less expensive ( smaller speaker, tweeter, driver) TL1s.-For the best 5.1 surround sound experience try placing these or any other satellite ( surround Left/Right) speakers at ear level and to the left and right of where you normally sit--not behind you.Note for Yamaha YHT-S401 owners, when I first connected these speakers to the YHT-S401's receiver ( SR/SL) the volume from these speakers was very low. However, once I adjusted the Left/Center/Right speakers on the sound bar to -1 for Left/Right sound bar speakers and 0 for the center sound bar speaker the TL 1 performed as expected even loud ( I have the TL 1 set to +3/+4 ). Also don't forget to change the sound bar from 3Ch to 5 Ch when using the TL 1 satellite speakers.
