HTS 12 Subwoofer

It features a long-throw Dynamic Balance 12” driver, patented Power Port® technology and a state-of-the-art 400W Class D amplifier. Easily to access controls for volume, low pass filter, and phase correction. Connect via LFE (unfiltered / low pass disabled) or stereo line level RCA inputs.
Deep Bass for Home Theater and Music
Whether you’re installing a new set of surround or ATMOS Speakers, adding a second subwoofer for the ultimate home theater experience, or just need more core-pounding impact from your favorite music, the Polk HTS 12 delivers the powerful bass you crave with its long-throw 12” driver, patented Power Port® technology and 400W Class D amplifier.
Patented Power Port® Technology
The Power Port® floor-firing design smoothly transitions air flow from the Speaker into your listening area for deep, extended bass impact while minimizing turbulence, distortion, and port noise. At the port tuning frequency, Power Port® equipped subwoofers have 3dB less port noise than similarly configured subwoofers without Power Port®.
American Modern Styling
Curved edges offer a sensual yet powerful look that fits with any home decor—available in a stunning black washed walnut or classic brown walnut finish.
Complete Control
Built-in controls for variable volume, low pass filter and phase (0/180°) for optimum bass levels. Set power toggle to Auto on/off or DC control (12V trigger) for fast and easy on/off power switching in the sub and other home theater equipment—all easily accessible on the back panel.
Universal Compatibility
Connect via LFE (unfiltered / low pass disabled) or stereo line level RCA inputs—complements any home theater system (cables not included).
Quality Crafted Cabinet Design
Strong, rigid and acoustically inert enclosure reduces unwanted internal standing waves for less audible coloration. And non-resonant Meddite MDF construction, with extra bracing and minimum thick baffles, ensures a more lifelike sound.
Deep powerful bass without hum, the ability to switch the phase 0-180, appearance.
There are no obvious minuses.
I supplemented the ONKYO RN 855 system with this subwoofer + Polk Audio S15 columns, room 21 square meters. m. experimented with the location of the Saba (by the way, there was no hum, so the Power Port system works), settled at the location in the corner. The bass is fast, clear, soft, depending on the phonogram. I do not agree with the previous review - it shows itself perfectly in the cinema, it turns on both on the trigger and automatically (there is a switch). In music, he shows himself perfectly with calm genres (he added velvety to the smuggling in the new album Diana Krall.) Something fast and aggressive (progressive, matcra) I usually listen without a sub, otherwise the brain can not stand it, but it is for an amateur. Thanks to the remote control for a good discount!

Low frequencies from 22 Hz. Great power. Stylish appearance.
There is no forced inclusion of the subwoofer, only by trigger. Because of what the subclass is regularly "falling off".
The subwoofer is more musical. It gives out powerful and saturated bass without a hum. For music, this is a plus. But for cinema it is not adapted. He feels poorly harsh sounds. For example, a sonorous pistol shot is heard as a soft "boom". In the previous series with a conventional phase inverter, the sounds looked much more natural, sharp and ringing. The natural front of the explosive wave was transmitted. The same subwoofer muffles all sharp sounds, softens them.
