    Center Speaker with Unrivalled Power and Clarity

    The R400 offers unrivalled power and clarity from a center channel speaker. The addition of two 6.5" turbine cone woofers and Polk’s unique X-Port technology means it delivers enormous yet balanced sound, ideal for the ultimate home theater system.

    With understated elegance, the R400 and other products in the Reserve series have a minimalist design with universal appeal. The center channel is the most important speaker in any home theater setup. Inheriting Polk’s flagship transducer array, the R400 produces exceptional sound that rivals speakers from other manufacturers that sell for twice the price.

    What "Better" Sounds Like

    It just sounds "better" than other competitive speakers. The Reserve R400 uses Polk’s latest flagship transducer array to deliver clear, crisp, intelligible dialog no matter where you sit.

    As we get older and more experienced, we learn what "better" looks like, feels like, tastes like, and even drives like. Inheriting best-in-class technologies from Polk's flagship Legend series of loudspeakers, the Polk Reserve series reveals what "better" sounds like, delivering flagship music and movie sound. Even though it uses many of the same transducers and technologies as the Legend Series, Reserve won’t break the bank. It offers flagship Polk sound at an approachable price.

    The R400 is Hi-Res Audio and iMax Certified

    Your sound is only as good as your source. With Hi-Res Audio certification, the Polk Reserve R400 delivers clear and detailed high-frequency response. Female vocals are particularly smooth, with exceptional clarity and without coloration. Plus, a minimum support of 40kHz perfectly reproduces the latest Hi-Res Audio files with improved audio extension.

    The iMAX Enhanced certification guarantees an unforgettably huge and dynamic home theater experience when enjoying IMAX Enhanced movies, television shows and music.

    Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter

    The Pinnacle Ring Radiator Tweeter’s distinctive pointed shape guides the dispersion of high frequency sounds around a room. This innovation widens the sweet spot and allows you freedom to enjoy your music and movies wherever you choose to sit.

    Turbine Cone Woofer

    Polk Audio's pioneering turbine cone woofer design delivers a significant increase in cone rigidity without increasing mass. This innovation means the woofer can move with increased accuracy and speed to deliver enhanced sound resolution, enabling you to experience a breathtaking level of detail in your music and movies.

    Patented X-Port Technology

    The Polk X-Port is a set of closed-pipe absorbers that are tuned to the internal frequency of the cabinet. This cancels out traditional resonances and distortions that you may get in the speaker's construction.

    Exceptional Cabinetry

    Reserve’s sleek cabinetry hides a world of audio innovation. Cabinets are carefully cross-braced to best eliminate unwanted interior resonances. Rounded exterior corners help disperse sound broadly around the room with minimal diffraction, creating an open sound stage.

    The Reserve Series

    Modern styling combined with Polk’s premium Pinnacle tweeter and Turbine mid-range driver deliver high-resolution detail and imaging. With Polk Audio's detailed, deep effortless bass, you will enjoy a whole new listening experience. Pure and minimalist, the Polk Reserve Series is engineered and designed with your entertainment in mind.

    Mix and match Reserve speakers to fit most rooms and AV configurations. From compact centers that fit in AV cabinets to wall mountable Left/Center/Right and height modules, Reserve guarantees great sound no matter the configuration.

    Built to Last, Featuring a 5-Year Warranty

    The Reserve series is built to last and features a best-in-class, 5-year limited warranty.

    Having built a reputation as the makers of great sound for more than 45 years, Polk Audio takes pride in superior sound and build quality, which feature many patented and award-winning audio innovations.
