The rectangular two-way Polk Audio VS 255с-LS model, part of the popular Vanishing series, is an excellent choice for enhancing the center channel of a high-class home theater system.
This model blends seamlessly in tone with the top-of-the-line LSiM speakers, making it a great alternative to a bulky center channel speaker and ultimately saving space in your listening area. Thanks to the acoustically transparent ultra-thin Sheer-Grille, this speaker becomes practically invisible, especially when painted to match the room's décor.
The Polk Audio VS 255с-LS speaker features a tweeter with a ring radiator, equipped with a phase-aligning bullet to produce a natural sound with plenty of detail. The tweeter is integrated into a special swivel module, allowing it to be directed towards the listening area.
This feature is useful when the center channel speaker needs to be installed slightly above or below the viewer's head level. Handling midrange and bass frequencies are a pair of 5.25-inch midwoofers with diffusers made from a special expanded polypropylene material, known for its lightweight nature and increased stiffness.
The speaker is equipped with a narrow-band filter designed to work with the tweeter, activated by a button on the front panel. This filter helps eliminate overly bright and ringing sound caused by reflections of high-frequency waves from the room's walls.
By adjusting the tweeter volume within a narrow frequency range, the filter effectively eliminates this parasitic effect and ensures a more natural, accurate, and detailed high-frequency reproduction. Rooms with poor sound absorption, lacking carpets, curtains, soft furniture, etc., are particularly prone to causing sound reflections.
According to Polk Audio, the VS 255с-LS center channel speaker delivers crystal-clear dialogue and impressive dynamics for cinematic effects. The speaker is easy to install in a wall cutout thanks to the efficient Rotating Cam spring mounting system and Perfect Fit templates. A proprietary mounting bracket is available as an option.
