The Polk Audio Hampden powered speakers deliver a near-field listening experience that will leave you amazed at the breadth and detail of the sound. When you plug the Hampdens USB connector into your computer, magic happens. The connection lets the Hampden bypass your computers marginal digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and process the digital information through its own built-in high-performance DAC. And that means your music will sound more fully detailed and life like. High-performance sound Polk has carefully crafted the Hampden speakers to deliver superior sound. The teak-veneered MDF enclosures virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations. The speakers sit angled to position the sound field properly when youre seated at your desk. The speaker cable uses 4-pin Euro-style connectors to ensure tight, secure connections for minimal signal loss. Four drivers, four amps Midrange and bass frequencies are handled by a pair of 4-1/2 composite polypropylene cone woofers, while a pair of 1 silk/polymer soft-dome tweeters produce smooth highs. Each driver is powered by its own dedicated amplifier channel: the system uses 30 watts x 2 for the mids and 10 watts x 2 for the tweeters. Sound is clean, detailed, and impactful. High-quality Bluetooth audio Want to enjoy music from your smartphone or table? Just pair your device to the Hampden and stream wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Powered Computer Speakers The Polk Hampden is a pair of powered computer speakers designed for near-field desktop listening. The Hampden offers USB connectivity to your computer, built-in Bluetooth for your smartphone or tablet, and an aux input for a variety of analog devices. These powered speakers features a two-way driver design with 80-watts of amplification for great sound. Bass-Reflex Two-Way System Each powered loudspeaker uses a 1 soft-dome silk/polymer tweeter and a robust 4.5 mid-woofer with a stiff, lightweight composite polypropylene cone. The tweeter and woofer are housed in a bass-reflex teak veneer enclosure with a downward-firing port for greater efficiency and bigger bass response. This combination of drivers and enclosure creates a rich, warm sound. Bi-Amplification Each driver and tweeter is driven by its own dedicated amplifier for greater dynamic range and clarity. Individually amplifying the drivers and tweeters adds an effortless character to the Hampdens performance that translates into a greater sense of realism. And by eliminating passive crossover components, Polk reduces the distortion, phase shift, and other undesirable by-products inherent in such systems. The amplifiers in each speaker deliver 10-watts to the tweeter and 30-watts to the mid-bass driver. Digital Signal Processing The Hampdens powerful Digital Signal Processor (DSP) smoothes frequency response and creates greater bass extension. Your music and movies will simply feel more alive. Angled MDF Enclosure Most desktop loudspeakers aim their sound directly at the listeners chest, putting you in an off-axis position and compromising tonal balance. The Hampdens laid back angle aide directivity, sending all the sound to your ears. The crafted teak veneer and MDF enclosures look great on a desktop or in an entertainment console. USB DAC The Polk Hampdens USB (type-B) input bypasses the lower quality digital-to-analog converter built into most computers. A higher quality DAC in the Polk Hampden optimizes this critical function for the best audio possible. The built-in DAC supports a wide variety of audio file formats. Built-in Bluetooth The Polk Hampden features built-in Bluetooth (v.2.1+EDR) with aptX technology. The units built-in Bluetooth lets you stream stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Blackberry, or computer/laptop to the Hampden powered speakers.
