10 Popular Audio Demos
By Steve Crowe
Polk Audio shares some of their favorite audio demo tracks.

During a recent visit to Polk Audio, the Baltimore, Md.-based manufacturer gave us a sneak peek at some of its upcoming products.

The speakers were great, and some of the audio tracks were fantastic. As you know, playing the correct tracks during audio demos is essential. It can sometimes make or break a client's decision.

We recently shared the favorite audio demos and video demos of some of our CE Pros of the Week. Now, Polk has shared with us some of its favorite demo tracks and why each works so well.



Yello | Fat Cry
The opening to this cut is very recessed and almost muffled with a good bass line then not quite 20 seconds in is like someone pulls a veil away and not only does the music become clear & detailed it also expands in size with bass that just says bet you didn’t know I could go this low. The voices that come in after this are good and catchy but you just want to go back to the beginning to see if you really heard that.

Cantate Domino | Christmas Song
This cut has so much going on and like Fat Cry surprises you with its power and emotion as almost every person I have demoed this for over the last 23 years have experienced everything from a chills to tears.
