Overview
Polk Audio made this RM satellite as a compact speaker for front or surround duty in its RM Series systems. A small midrange and tweeter in a high gloss composite enclosure mount on the included flexible wall brackets or stand on a shelf next to a flat panel TV.
Small size and wall brackets let it disappear beside a TV or high on a wall for surround. Bass below the midrange is left to a subwoofer, and it is sold singly, so a full set means several purchases.
Who it's for
Home theater rooms built on small satellites plus a subwoofer, especially existing Polk RM setups. Listeners who want bass from the speakers themselves should look at bookshelf or tower speakers.
Pros and cons
- Compact enclosure for walls or shelves
- Wall brackets included
- Magnetic shielding near screens
- Long parts and labor warranty
- Needs a subwoofer for bass
- Sold as a single speaker
- Sensitivity figure not listed
Performance notes
The small midrange and tweeter cover voices and effects, while the response stops well above deep bass, so a subwoofer handles everything below. Aiming the speaker at the seating area at roughly ear height helps dialogue and surround cues land where you listen.

Frequently asked questions
How do I adjust the Polk Audio RM7 on its wall bracket?
The listing says it comes with flexible wall brackets but does not describe the adjustment range. Aim the speaker toward the seating area and recheck the bracket hold after moving it.
Does the Polk RM7 need an amplifier?
The listing gives an 8 ohm impedance and a 100 watt maximum and no built-in amplifier, so plan to run it from a receiver or amplifier.

No. It is listed as not water resistant.
