Know before you buy
No, the R900 is designed as an upward-firing module. You simply place them on top of your existing floor-standing or bookshelf speakers, and they bounce sound off your ceiling to create an immersive overhead effect.
Yes, as long as your receiver supports modern object-based audio formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, or IMAX Enhanced, these modules will integrate seamlessly into your setup.
While they are acoustically matched to complement the Polk Reserve series, they can be used with other speakers. However, for the most consistent sound profile and aesthetic, pairing them with the Reserve line is recommended.
These are passive speakers that connect via standard speaker wire to the height or 'presence' channels on your AV receiver. They do not require a separate power source or auxiliary input.
Upward-firing modules perform best with flat, reflective ceilings between 7 and 12 feet high. Vaulted or heavily textured ceilings may diffuse the sound, which can reduce the effectiveness of the height effects.
