## Description

Product Description Big Speaker Sound Without The Big Speaker Whether you're looking for your first home theater sub/sat system or want to upgrade to more performance, you're in for a big surprise in a small, compact package from Polk Audio. The predecessor to Blackstone TL, our RM series, was always about "Big Speaker Sound Without The Big Speaker." Blackstone TL represents a significant leap forward, delivering an astonishing home theater performance never before heard in compact loudspeakers. Manufacturer's Description Your center channel speaker is the one that delivers the lion's share of audio info to you, sitting on the couch, immersed in the illusion of truly cinematic surround-sound. Not only do you demand clear dialogue, but also a timbre-matched anchor for the action onscreen. The TL1 Center Channel Speaker, available as part of the TL150 5-pack and TL1600 6-piece system, or separately is the workhorse of the TL1 Series. Dual drivers, matched to the satellite speakers in the system, give you a compact focal point for your home theater excitement.Clear details from Silk Dome Tweeters - Classic Polk Audio performance, producing pinpoint imaging and smoother highs that are never fatiguing.Smooth response at lifelike volume with Long-Throw Mid-Bass Drivers - A super-small driver with all the usual small-driver anomalies tuned out by our patented Dynamic Balance Technology. Astonishingly smooth, flat frequency response, superior transparency and detail, and the surprising ability to play really, really loud for such a small speaker.Extended bass impact with an Aperiodic-tuned Rear-Firing Bass Port - Combines the extension of a ported enclosure with the smoother low-end of an acoustic suspension enclosure, controlling port air flow for the kind of big bass response, and perfect speaker-subwoofer blending, you'd never expect from a loudspeaker you can hold in the palm of your hand.Easy System Building - Add a Subwoofer to round out your BlackstoneTL1 system with the explosive low-frequency effects you need to get the most from today's digital media. You can also add individually-available, perfectly timbre-matched BlackstoneTL speakers to expand your system into the realms of 6.1, 7.1 and beyond!Time Lens technology aligns the acoustic centers of the tweeter and mid-bass driver on the same spatial plane for superior imaging, while an acoustic lens incorporated in the grille smoothes the tweeter's frequency response. This alignment and grille lens technology creates imaging realism and frequency balance unheard of in small, high performance satellite speakers.Curved enclosure design - employs non-parallel surfaces that not only lead to a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure, but they also result in less audible coloration from internal surface resonances. We've literally designed-out the usual limitations of small-enclosures. It's a new category of compact loudspeaker: the kind that sounds amazing. (And looks great doing it).If you could tune out the bad sounds before they even happen, you'd do it, wouldn't you? Polk Audio's patented Dynamic Balance process allows us to design our drivers specifically for flatter frequency response, revealing the sharpest details and a more lifelike transparency, with absolutely no strain even at high volume. It's a bold, rich, warm and lifelike sound.Hi Gloss “Blackstone” Finish - A durable, deep automotive-strength finish that matches today's most stylish flat-panel TVs and the decor they live in: yours.Multiple Mounting Options - Compact means go-anywhere for Blackstone TL: on shelves, on the wall, on stands. Built-in Keyhole Slots and threaded inserts (that fit virtually any brackets) give you multiple mounting options.

Review: Sound is great. - I have a surround sound system but my center was ancient and muffled. Hard to hear voices. Not any more. Bit of a reflection off the top of the unit so I put black Japanese fabric tape on it. Covered the brand name on the speaker cover too. Sound is very very clear. Had to recalibrate the other speakers but I'm really happy with my Polk 🔊😀
Review: Five Stars - Pretty good I needed a physically small speaker and this fitted the bill

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the height, and depth of the unit for sizing/install under a 6 inch depth mantle?**
A: Product Dimensions:  3.5 deep x 15 long x 4 inches height

**Q: Does the the grill cover come off.**
A: I actually bought this for my dad, so I don't have it in front of me to be absolutely sure. However, I'm fairly confident I took the grill off while setting up his system, just to take a look at the speakers. Wish I could be more conclusive, hope this helps some.

**Q: Sound only comes from tweet, did I get a bad one?**
A: make sure your speaker wire is correct from the amp to the speaker,  red to red  black to black, assure your center channel works with another speaker in the test mode of the amplifer.   IF all still results in only tweeter sound then I would say you got a bad one.  mine works great...

**Q: Coming from a Polk subwoofer which is being fed from a powered mixer , what outputs do I use from it to connect this  ?**
A: This is for a 5.1 surround system. The AMP will have a center speaker ports which will connect to this center speaker. Outputs from subwoofer should be connected to the main speaker if your AMP does not have other ports. If it has other ports, then connect it there. Output from a powered mixer is not meant for Hifi equipment, but for  pro audio equipment as the impendence may not match. If it matches then you can daisy chain them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***N on 18 November 2025*

I've been replacing speakers in my ancient 5.1 system from 2002. This was the final piece of the puzzle and it's doing the job nicely. With surround speakers, it's difficult to say exactly what they're capable of since they're only in use part of the time and not performing a full range of sound, but there's clarity on dialogue and vocals and a warm, natural sound. I chose this model because the width fits right into my TV stand. It's a low-profile design. Without the cover on, it's a bit boring as I have some Klipsch speakers in my setup now, with their pretty copper cones, but even though a center speaker, it's not a center of attention looks-wise. Great price too.
