Polk Audio

Polk Audio - premium American sound since 1972. It was a time of change: changing appearances, changing attitudes toward the world, and a revolution in music. In that era, live concerts filled entire stadiums, captivating a new generation with their powerful sound. The founders of Polk Audio set out to bring the live concert experience into the home. Since then, for decades, the company has continued to design audio systems and equipment that bring sound to life — whether it's movies, television, or music — so customers can enjoy high-quality audio anytime, anywhere.

The company was founded by a group of friends from Johns Hopkins University who were passionate about music and sound. Matt Polk and his team of enthusiastic, rock-and-roll-loving "mad scientists" left an indelible mark on audio history. What began as a garage project in an old Victorian house in Baltimore, Maryland, evolved into a true classic — one that has never strayed from its original mission: finding innovative solutions for high-quality sound reproduction and building reliable speaker systems that connect generations.

To succeed in this industry, the company had to learn to adapt to constant change, combining clear-headed engineering with heartfelt passion. This unique approach has allowed Polk Audio to develop countless new speaker products that delight customers not only in the United States, but around the world. You can be certain that in their research, development, and creation of new audio products, Polk engineers uphold the principles of authentic American Hi-Fi. This is more than just a job. It's an honor to create speakers that fulfill their ultimate purpose: exceptional sound for everyone.
