Polk Audio Soundbar

Polk Audio is a renowned American manufacturer of audio products, specifically known for their loudspeakers and home audio systems. Founded in 1972 by Matthew Polk, George Klopfer, and Sandy Gross in Baltimore, Maryland, the brand established itself as a staple in high-fidelity sound. Over decades, Polk Audio transitioned from a domestic boutique manufacturer to a global brand under larger corporate umbrellas to scale its reach and technology.

In terms of manufacturing, like many global electronics brands, Polk Audio products are primarily manufactured in China to leverage large-scale production facilities. Some specialized components or high-end series may occasionally involve assembly in other regions, but the consumer soundbar lines are standardly produced in Asian manufacturing hubs.

Today, Polk Audio is owned by Masimo Corporation, an American global medical technology and consumer electronics company. Masimo acquired the brand through its purchase of Sound United in 2022. This ownership places Polk in a portfolio alongside other premium audio legacy brands such as Denon, Marantz, and Bowers & Wilkins, ensuring the brand remains headquartered in the USA while operating as part of a multi-billion dollar technology conglomerate.
