Their dream was to make speakers with the performance of the world's best speakers, but at reasonable prices. Today, Polk Audio is still headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, and is one of the world's largest manufacturers of loudspeakers for home, office and car. Polk's research has yielded over 20 patents for advances in loudspeaker performance and value. [. . . ] You should hear a "ssshhhhh" noise from one speaker when this is on.

REMOTE CONTROL GUIDED TOUR
The remote control is divided into three major sections. The top section contains the controls used most often, such as ON/OFF, MUTE, SUBWOOFER volume and system VOLUME controls. The middle section has the source buttons, where you select the source component you want to hear and see. Most folks will use them once to set up the system and never touch them again. [. . . ] Do not use harsh detergents and cleaning fluids, they can permanently damage the finish. "It doesn't know the words. "
This is what passes for humor in the audio business. In some installations you may hear a humming noise from the subwoofer. That is, the electrical grounds of the components in your system are not at the same electrical potential. [. . . ]
