Your component home theater speaker system is less than two inches away
A room full of speakers is no longer the price you have to pay for a great home theater system. At a mere 1-1/2" deep, Polk Audio's SurroundBar 500 CHT delivers crisp, room-filling sound in a fraction of the space required by traditional seven or five-speaker systems.

Excellence by design
Polk Audio invented a completely new driver to enable the 500 CHT's ultra-slim profile: a 3-1/4" low-distortion, ASP™(Asymmetrically Sculpted Sculpted Profile™) aluminum dome mid-woofer with neodymium magnets and voice coils that are loaded for bear. Nine ASP woofers team with three of Polk's ring radiator tweeters to deliver a big soundstage that will envelop you with goodness, whether you're firing up your favorite Blu-ray movie or relaxing to some sweet tunes. And the 500 CHT uses patented Polk SDA® and Digital Logic™ technologies to deliver wraparound audio without the need for rear speakers.

Flexibility at the flip of a switch
The 500 CHT features a handy mode switch that lets you customize the speaker to suit your room, your home theater receiver, and your preferences. Set it to either 5- or 7-channel mode to match the capability of your receiver, and it will reproduce all the surround sound channels in your movie soundtracks. Or engage the "LCR" (left, center, right) mode and use the SurroundBar for only your front three speakers, if you want to add separate surround speakers for even more authentic home theater sound.

Installation doesn't get much easier than this
You can wall-mount the 500 CHT right below your TV. Or use the supplied adjustable feet to place this video-shielded speaker on your equipment stand. Connect the separate SDA crossover module to your home theater receiver with your own speaker wire (not included)) then use the supplied 15-foot, color coded speaker cable to connect to the sound bar. No more confusion about which wire goes where.
