Typically that specification will be expressed as a range of power such as 20-200 Watts (per channel) . It is important to understand what those numbers mean when choosing a receiver or amplifier for your Polk Audio loudspeakers. The lower number indicates the lowest continuous rated power that will yield acceptable performance in a typical listening environment. The higher number indicates the highest per channel power that should be used with your Polk Audio speakers. That number should not be confused with a “Power Handling”specification and it does not imply that the speaker will safely handle that full amount of power on

FAQs

What are the key safety precautions before operating the speaker?

Read and retain the safety and operating instructions, heed all warnings, and follow all operating and use instructions. Avoid unapproved attachments and prevent object or liquid entry through openings.

How should the recommended amplification range be interpreted?

The lower number is the lowest continuous rated power for acceptable performance, and the higher number is the highest per-channel power recommended. It is not the same as power handling and does not mean the speaker will safely handle that full power long term.

What should be done if audible distortion occurs?

Turn the volume down to avoid risking damage. Distortion indicates harmful operation beyond what the amplifier can produce cleanly, which can cause speaker damage regardless of power rating.
