- Does the Polk 70-RT need an amplifier?
- Yes. It is a passive speaker with no amplifier, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so it must be wired to an AV receiver or multi-zone amplifier.
- How is it different from a standard open-back in-wall speaker?
- The bandpass enclosure and two ports control the woofer's output inside a sealed box, so bass stays consistent no matter what is behind the wall.
- Can I use it for surround channels?
- Yes. It works well as a surround or rear-channel speaker, and the sealed back suits walls shared with other rooms.
- Does it come with a grille?
- It ships with a white grille that can be painted to match the wall.
- Can I stream music to it directly?
- No. It has no Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AirPlay or Spotify Connect; streaming comes from the receiver or source connected to it.
