Polk Audio Blackstone TL1 Satellite Speaker (Single, Black) | PowerPort Technology, Hi-Gloss Finish | Compact Sound | Pair with TL Series for Complete Home Entertainment | Surround Sound Speaker
Inhouse product
- Time Lens— Tweeter and mid‑bass centers share one plane for superior imaging, as the acoustic lens in the grille smoothes the tweeter's frequency response. TL Series creates imaging and frequency balance in a small, high‑performance satellite speaker
- TL1 satellite aperiodic-tuned rear port blends with a subwoofer by controlling airflow, combining acoustic suspension bass extension with ported enclosure mid-bass boost for better extension without distortion.
- The home audio speakers have a curved enclosure design that employs non-parallel surfaces that not only lead to a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure, but they also result in less audible coloration from internal surface resonances.
- The stereo speakers feature a 1/2 silk dome tweeter for crisp, clear imaging and smooth response.
- The Polk Audio speakers feature a 2-1/2 long-throw driver with Dynamic Balance driver technology-Polk's patented transducer design process tunes materials to produce a flat frequency response, with sharp detail and transparency.

08-03-2026My other speakers are all BOSE and very nice quality and I have an Onkyo THX reciever. This speaker provides rich depth that is needed to balance out with the other speakers.

08-03-2026I ordered two speakers. One speaker was great. The other one was defective. The seller sent replacement but took a week to get which is OK if you’re not in a hurry.

08-03-2026Needed little back speakers for my AV system, this fit the bill. These little guys are solidly made and setup for easy connection to a stand and the wires. And, they sound great. Perfect.

08-03-2026Wanted something small like the Bose cubes without an additional base module - or the huge price tag. I've had plenty of Polk audio stuff before, so knew I was getting a good set of speakers.They work perfectly as upper-front speakers in my 7.1 system.

08-03-2026I bought 2 of these small sat. speakers and was very happy with clarity from a small speaker. After one year the crossover died on one of the speakers making it unusable. I contacted Bose and their reps were knowledgeable ,but even though there is a 5 year warranty, they would only send new parts to replace the problem. It is fairly easy to take the speaker apart, but so far they have only sent two cones one of which was damaged and the wrong part for this model. What broke was the cross over and still waiting to see if they can make this right for me, so far it has taken 2 months

08-03-2026Compact Audio Surprise!I purchased two Polk Audio TL 1 speakers in an attempt to add true 5.1 Surround Sound for a Yamaha YHT-S401 sound bar. While I was pretty happy with the YHT-S401's "virtual" 7.1 capabilities, adding the TL 1's as satellite surround sound left/right speakers for true 5.1 sound to this sound bar system really created a superior sound stage experience.Good to know:-Excellent value-.5" Silk dome tweeter , 2.5" midrange driver and injection-molded diaphragm results in surprising well blended sound-Very good high frequency capabilities; less capable with low frequencies but was designed to be pared with a separate subwoofer-High quality, solid construction made of molded high-density resin-Beautiful piano-black resin = lots of fingerprints-Best for small to mid-sized rooms-I carefully compared the TL1s to the more expensive (larger speaker, tweeter & driver ) Polk Satellite TL2's in the same series and while the TL 2's sounded great too, I didn't hear any improvements in my setup and room size over the less expensive ( smaller speaker, tweeter, driver) TL1s.-For the best 5.1 surround sound experience try placing these or any other satellite ( surround Left/Right) speakers at ear level and to the left and right of where you normally sit--not behind you.Note for Yamaha YHT-S401 owners, when I first connected these speakers to the YHT-S401's receiver ( SR/SL) the volume from these speakers was very low. However, once I adjusted the Left/Center/Right speakers on the sound bar to -1 for Left/Right sound bar speakers and 0 for the center sound bar speaker the TL 1 performed as expected even loud ( I have the TL 1 set to +3/+4 ). Also don't forget to change the sound bar from 3Ch to 5 Ch when using the TL 1 satellite speakers.

08-03-2026I replaced my older Polk Audio satellite speakers with these, and the center speakers and the difference was amazing. It was really good before, now its stellar. These would not be good without a sub woofer, which i got the 10" sub to replace my old 8" sub.I highly recommend these, for the price, and sound quality, you cant beat it, but again for surround sound system, haven't tried them with just music yet, but I'm sure they are fine.
