Know before you buy
No, the R900 is designed to reflect sound off your ceiling. You can simply place them on top of your existing floor-standing speakers or mount them on the wall to achieve an immersive 3D audio experience without cutting into your ceiling.
Yes, you can use the R900 modules with any home theater system that supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, or IMAX Enhanced. However, they are timbre-matched to the Polk Reserve series, so they will sound most cohesive when paired with other speakers from that specific line.
You have both options. The R900 features a versatile design that allows for wall mounting or placement as a 'topper' on compatible floor-standing speakers. There is a switch on the back that automatically adjusts the performance settings based on your chosen placement.
The R900 has a recommended power handling of 45 watts RMS, with a peak of 100 watts. They are designed to work well with most standard home theater receivers capable of driving 4-ohm loads.
The R900 is specifically engineered as a height module with an angled baffle to direct sound toward the ceiling for reflection. Unlike standard bookshelf speakers, they are optimized for overhead sound effects rather than primary front or surround channel duties.
