Polk Audio DSW PRO 500 Pro Reviews

The DSW PRO 500 subwoofer measures more than 15 inches on all sides. By the standards of current fashion, that’s a pretty big enclosure. It houses a single 10-inch driver and slot-shaped port, both of which are down-firing. In the back are full sets of line- and speaker-level stereo inputs and outputs. There’s also an LFE input that bypasses the crossover, if you’d prefer to set that in your A/V receiver. The coolest feature is the credit-card-shaped remote, which includes buttons for power, volume, mute, reset, control of the blue front-panel LED, and a Night mode that reduces the sub’s level. For phase, you don’t get just two settings but four: 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. This gives you a better shot at getting the sub to perform well with the rest of the speakers.
