These versatile surround/satellite speakers are visually pleasing and unobtrusive, especially for on-wall speakers.

But above all, these novel inventions from Polk deliver impressive audio sound and create real home theatre thrills despite their compact size.

The distinguishing feature of these speakers is the variety of mounting options presented – the OWM3 provides seven and the OWM5 offers nine different placement choices. This aspect of the speakers is a result of specially crafted design by Polk Audio.

The OWM5 exhibits a timeless design which is specially curved and includes a removable base and corner wall mount bracket to make it easy to locate on a wall, ceiling or in a corner for optimum performance. Not dissimilar, the OWM3 has a comparable design to allow for different mounting options including angled wall placement, corner wall and shelf mount.

This feature of the OWM series sets it apart from competitors, as the different aiming options allows for clearer, sharper and wider rhythmic sounds, characteristic of larger and more powerful speakers.

Polk has employed moulded cabinets in each of these models which makes the speakers less prone to unit-to-unit variance in both dimensional tolerances and acoustical behaviours, and also helps maximise internal volumes. It is also these moulded composites which allow for such elegant shapes and curves which are virtually impracticable in wood.

Advanced audio technology has also been used in the OWM Series. Both the OWM3 and OWM5 are capable of being part of a 2.1 second zone system or as a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround system and also use capacitive coupling bass technology.

This technology works by creating a gentle impedance dip within the range where conventional sealed-box loudspeakers are subject to severely reduced bass output. This capacitive coupling results in improved acoustic sensitivity and low frequency response.
