Dialogue in the centre with two 5.25" drivers
The single Signature Elite ES30 completes a stereo or home cinema system.
The single Polk Audio Signature Elite ES30 is a dedicated centre-channel speaker. Its 1" Terylene dome tweeter sits between two 5.25" mica-reinforced polypropylene Dynamic Balance drivers. This layout anchors voices and dialogue to the screen in a system with multichannel amplification.
The cabinet is 50.8 cm wide, 19.1 cm high and 26.9 cm deep. Before placing it beneath a television, check all three clearances, shelf capacity and cable space. This passive centre has one set of gold-plated five-way binding posts for the AV receiver's centre output.

A different shape from the ES35
The ES35 is lower, with six 3" drivers and L/C/R use; the ES30 is a taller conventional centre with two 5.25" woofers. Its Power Port accompanies a stated overall response of 55 Hz to 40 kHz. A subwoofer can take the deeper bass through the crossover set in the AV receiver.
With ES15 or ES20 front speakers or Signature Elite towers, the ES30 completes a matching front stage. During installation, keep its front unobstructed rather than placing it too far back in a cabinet or covering its tweeter with the television base.
