A tremendous evolution on the original SDA Surround  
Technology, Polk SurroundBar Technology brings surround  
sound-without the surround speakers into the next century.  
Featured only in the exclusive SurroundBar 360° DVD Theater,  
Polk Audio’s legendary SDA speaker systems revolutionized  
speaker technology in the mid 1980’s and 1990’s and are still  
prized today by audio enthusiast for their huge, totally  
enveloping sound stage far beyond the capability of  
conventional speakers. Original SDA is analog while SDA  
Surround Digital uses the tremendous processing capability  
of digital microchips to process the audio, a far more powerful  
tool then the passive components of original SDA Technology.

A PATENTED TECHNOLOGICAL  
BREAKTHROUGH  
Polk Audio’s psychoacoustic research and technology have  
produced a system capable of delivering a 360°degree surround  
sound experience that stands above the rest. Unlike competing  
products that attempt to eliminate the need for rear channel  
speakers, the SurroundBar 360° DVD Theater is the only multi-  
channel single-speaker surround system that works in any room  
with easy setup, while eliminating the need for a subwoofer.  
The enveloping sound from SDA Surround Digital is so realistic  
in some cases it’s better than using 5 or more speakers!

FEED FORWARD DISTORTION SUPPRESSION TECHNOLOGY  
polk  
technology  
This technology maximizes acoustic output as it reduces audible distortion. Feed Forward is a  
zero latency system that maximizes dynamic output of the subwoofer system, without relying on  
slow responding feedback techniques or broad band dynamic compression, which squeeze the  
life out of the low end. What you hear is quick, precise bass output with minimal audible distor-  
tion, even at ground shaking volume levels.

DYNAMIC BALANCE®

technology  
Advanced laser imaging technology allowed Polk Audio engineers to see the entire vibrating  
surface of a driver and tweeter; they could actually see the resonance develop on the speaker  
cones––resonance that is the root cause loudspeaker distortion (A). Being able to see the  
resonance develop, they determined the “Dynamic Balance” of high-tech materials, geometry  
and constrution that effectively tune out the offending resonance (B). Exclusive Dynamic Balance  
Composite Material Technology delivers sound that’s effortlessly clean and clear, even at lifelike

are required.  
Polk’s patented SDA® Surround Technology means  
you won’t need to install rear speakers. What you  
hear is a completely immersive sound experience,  
as if there are multiple speakers all around you.

definition TV experience. It’s the perfect match  
for flat-panel and shallow screen TVs. And it  
works with any surround sound receiver.  
SDA Surround works equally well with all surround  
sound formats including multi-channel music.

walls to produce the surround effect.

The technology behind the SurroundBar is based  
on Polk’s legendary SDA SRT Systems, which  
one reviewer called “The Ultimate Loudspeaker.”  
SDA Surround Technology makes the speakers  
disappear by cancelling the acoustic position  
location information. That information is then  
replaced by the correct surround sound information  
of the original recording just as if sounds were  
actually coming from all around you. Whether  
it’s music or movies you’re assured of a great  
surround sound experience.
