A low centre speaker with L/C/R flexibility
The single Signature Elite ES35 completes a stereo or home cinema system.
The single Polk Audio Signature Elite ES35 addresses limited vertical clearance beneath a screen. At 10.4 cm high, it places six 3" mica-reinforced polypropylene Dynamic Balance drivers around a 1" Terylene dome tweeter. Its 62 cm width, however, requires a sufficiently long shelf or wall area.
It is not restricted to the centre channel: it can also work as a left or right speaker, horizontally or vertically. A keyhole slot enables wall mounting. Connection and amplification remain those of a passive speaker, with one set of gold-plated five-way terminals per channel.

For installations with limited height
The ES30 uses two 5.25" woofers in a taller, deeper cabinet; the ES35 prioritises a slim profile and L/C/R flexibility. Its stated overall response of 68 Hz-40 kHz makes a subwoofer useful for the deepest range where one is fitted, with bass management set through the AV receiver.
Building three identical front channels requires three separately purchased units. In a system already using ES50, ES55 or ES60, a single ES35 can serve as the centre. Check width, vertical clearance and the cable route before installation; the low profile does not reduce the width required.
