Enjoy movies, music, and gaming with high-resolution, room-filling cinematic sound and effortless bass. Polk's high-performance, wall mountable ES15 compact bookshelf loudspeaker features a Dynamically Balanced acoustic array, precision crossovers, and Power Port bass enhancing technology. Hi-Res Audio Certified, the Signature Elite ES15 fulfills the Polk promise of great sound for all.
The ES15's Hi-Res Audio Certified, Terylene dome tweeter provides crystalline highs (up to 40 kHz), making them ideal for enjoying high-resolution music from services like Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music HD, and Qobuz, along with the soundtracks of the latest Ultra-HD movies.
Power Port is a Polk-patented design that smoothly transitions the airflow from the speaker's port into the listening area to eliminate turbulence and distortion for louder, deeper, more musical bass and a more open and transparent midrange. When paired with the ES15's 5.25" woofer, that means effortless bass you can feel.
You'll experience a seamless, lifelike soundstage no matter where you're seated, thanks to the Signature Elite ES15's Dynamically Balanced speaker array with phase-optimized precision crossovers.
The ES15 delivers spacious, clear, enveloping, and realistic sound reproduction from nearly any amplifier or receiver – whether 4- or 8-ohm, vintage audiophile, or the latest Dolby Atmos or DTS:X surround sound AVRs.
A strong, rigid, and acoustically inert enclosure built with critically damped Medite MDF and laser-optimized bracing reduces internal standing waves and resonances for less coloration and distortion of your sound.
The ES15's anti-diffraction, magnetic grilles minimize sonic interference and can be easily removed to provide a striking look.
Gold-plated five-way binding posts ensure the most direct, efficient, and lossless connection possible.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. How will it stack up against the expensive Arca Swiss cube. Could it hold my Arca Swiss 4x5 classic which weighs about 6 lbs?? thanks!
A: I bought it to use with my Canon tilt-shift lenses (17mm & 24mm) on a Canon 5D Mark IV. It supported that set-up just fine. However, I did end up returning the Benro and bit the bullet for an Arca Swiss D4 geared head. I did not care for the controls of the Benro. I also had to buy a spacer to lift it up from the platform of my Gitzo tripod because of the controls sometimes contacting the tripod platform. I have no experience with any other geared head (and I haven't received the Arca Swiss D4 yet; supposed to arrive today); therefore, I can't compare the Benro to, for example, the Manfrotto geared heads.Initially upon receiving the Benro, I liked it, but soon found that the pointy knob controls for free movement of the head were not comfortable for me to use. It is not a bad head for the price, that's for sure.
Q: 2. mine finally arrived. i am moving over from a Manfrotto 410 Jr. geared head.to those that have this head now, are the oblong pill spirit levels on the clamp crooked? one of mine is glued in really crooked which kind of defeats the purpose.
A: If there is a defect, we recommend a return or an exchange. Please contact B&H Customer Service to do so: https://bhpho.to/2caRE5L
Q: 3. Does anyone know if this head can be mounted on a Cosmo Mini 500 copy stand perhaps with an adapter; want to scan negs digitally and want to be able to level the camera?
A: While B&H does not carry the Cosmo Mini 500 Copy Stand you list above, it appears from the pictures on the manufacturer's website the screw on the copy stand is a 1/4"-20 male threaded screw. The Benro GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head has a 3/8"-16 female tripod socket on the base of the head, so you would need an adapter such as the Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039, to connect the Benro GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head to the Cosmo Mini 500 Copy Stand.
Q: 4. I am considering this head for use with a Chamonix 4x5 camera. From the available images, it appears that the top knob is higher than the base plate, and might come into contact with the base of the camera. Is this the case or am I just looking at the images incorrectly?
A: The top knob gets very close to the camera plane. In a regular DSLR or mirrorless the camera ends by the plate and there is enough space between the plate and the knob where the camera will not touch the knob. If you are using a very large camera that extends many inches back from the tripod screw, the top knob would get in the way. At a minimum it would be very difficult for you to access the top knob with the large camera on the head,.
Q: 5. How do you tilt the head up & down?
A: Twist the handles counter-clockwise to loosen the head along the axis, then push or pull for movement. Feel free to chat with us over video on our new superstore video live-chat function and we can demonstrate it for you if you're still having trouble!
Q: 6. Would it be possible to "perfectly" balance a 80D with EF 50mm f1.4 to a stage where I can point the camera at any direction, any tilt angle and the camera would stay precisely stationary as pointed?
A: Yes, but keep in mind that the tilt and pan parameters are as follows: -60°/90° Tilt, 360° Pan
Q: 7. I have a Gitzo GT3543XLS Systematic Series 3 Carbon Fiber Tripod which has a wide base to connect tripod heads. Will this one fit such that the knobs are not hitting the base?
A: It may certainly fit and work properly but you would be better served if you got a riser for the head, so the knobs are not so close to the Gitzo base plate. Click the link below to view; https://bhpho.to/3e93meg
Q: 8. plus/minus 110 degrees? Is that 220 degrees of motion, or really just +55, -55 ( etc)??
A: i looked at mine last night -- horizontally 360 degrees and vertically 180 degrees (full range of motion not 1/2) -- not sure where the 110% comes from.Mike
Q: 9. How wide is the head from pan knob to handle lock knob?
A: 6 inches
Q: 10. i just purchased a GH1720QR. Is it compatible with a Gitzo GT2540T tripod?
A: Yes this head will be compatible on the Gitzo GT2540T Tripod.
