Help us shape the future of Polk

Hey there,

We are working on a research project that will help steer the future of the Polk brand, and we’d like to get some input from a few Polkies here on the forum.

If you consider yourself an audio enthusiast (as I type that I wonder "why would you be on the forum if you were not?"), and you’re interested in being considered, please take 5 mins to complete a short survey to see if you meet the criteria.

If you are selected from the survey respondents, you'll be invited for a one-hour interview via Zoom between February 27th and March 3rd from 7am – 2pm EST). The interview will be really informal and fun, with the purpose of helping us understand more about your audio preferences and needs.

Beyond having the satisfaction of knowing that you contributed to the future of the brand you love, those who are interviewed will receive some Polk Swag and a voucher for 50% off their next Polk purchase on our website as our way of saying thanks for participating.

Please complete this short survey , to see if you qualify. We'll need to hear from you by Wednesday, February 22nd, so don't delay

Thanks,

Carl jacobson
Director of Brand Marketing
Polk Audio

(Please note this survey is open to US based participants only).

    I didn't meet the criteria. :(

    I concur, though, it's quite a cool notion.

    Me, either. Don't know if it's because I'm old, live in Illinois, or both. Lol

    I didn't either.

    I think they just have a list of jerks from the forum that are already black listed.

    I mean, I would too if I were them.

    Can you blame them, tho'?

    I was really looking forward to those half-priced L600s. For 20 seconds, anyway.

    Too old. I guess our audio experiences aren't important...lol
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    I got through. I only had to lie about my gender and home state.
    Other: he/her, from California.

    I was honest about everything else.
    Didn't even have to say I liked the soundbars or subs.
