Elevate and Enhance Your Sonic Sanctuary

With Polk Audio’s award-winning Reserve series surround systems, the company’s boundary-pushing technology undergirds an array of premium performance and sleek aesthetics that stand to bolster any home theater setup. The Polk Audio Reserve R400 is no exception. This center-channel speaker’s robust cabinetry conceals within it a wealth of aural innovation, with rounded corners and a cross-braced construction to give you not only eye-grabbing style but an elegant solution for optimizing sound dispersion, reducing diffraction, and giving you an immersive, transparent soundstage. Its dual 6.5-inch Turbine Cone woofers flank a center-mounted, 1-inch Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter, yielding exceptionally smooth and detailed sound, faithfully reproducing the finest nuances without coloring your playback. For Sweetwater’s home audio enthusiasts, the Reserve R400’s playback flexibility is one of its most valuable attributes, accommodating Hi-Res Audio, Dolby Atmos, Dolby DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, ensuring your home system is always performing with superior sonic fidelity throughout the spectrum.

State-of-the-art sonic technologies

As the heart of your immersive sound system, the Polk Audio Reserve R400 is teeming with cutting-edge playback technologies. The center of the speaker’s sonic constellation is Polk Audio’s flagship Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter. Polk Audio developed this tweeter with an ultra-pointed profile that’s been meticulously engineered to disperse high-frequency sounds throughout your space, with exacting precision, widening the sweet spot and expanding your options for arranging your space without missing a beat.

Dual Turbine Cone woofers are each endowed with Polk Audio’s innovative cones, designed to amplify rigidity without adding mass. This blueprint results in a woofer that’s exceptionally accurate, able to move at higher speeds, and reproduce the full depth of your audio with prismatic presence. And since the Reserve R400 is built with a fully sealed enclosure, clarity and precision abound throughout the spectrum — no distortion from turbulence or airborne disruptions!

Brace for bass: dual X-Port definition

Considering the expansive 36Hz–50kHz frequency-response range of the Reserve R400, Polk Audio spared no effort in outfitting the center channel speaker with the structural engineering needed to capture the dimensionality of this speaker’s output. Beyond the unrivaled fidelity of the Pinnacle and Turbine technologies, the Reserve R400 boasts another of the company’s groundbreaking stables, with the rear-mounted X-Ports. These closed-pipe resonators feature Eigentone filters, which are explicitly tuned to absorb undesirable resonance frequencies coming from the port and the cabinet. Doing this ensures not only that your sound is transparent, articulate, and detailed, but also magnifies the bass-output presence, without muddying your mix. Across myriad musical genres, visionary cinematic sound, and beyond, the Polk Audio Reserve R400 delivers expressive, vibrant, and crystal-clear sonics that span the spectrum.
