Floorstanding & Bookshelf Loudspeakers

To enjoy the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an equilateral triangle is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position.

Angle the speakers toward the middle as necessary in order to support a more solid center image. And experiment with the distance between your speakers and both the back and side walls. You’ll experience some bass boost with the speakers located close to walls.

The LSiM Series bookshelf loudspeakers were designed to provide excellent performance on a bookshelf or placed on a floor stand. For best results place LSiM bookshelf loudspeakers so the tweeter height is within 6" (15cm) of seated ear height. When using speaker stands, select sturdy stands 30" - 36" (76.2 - 91.4cm) high.

If you are using your LSiM Series bookshelf loudspeakers as rear channels in a home theater system, they should be placed on the rear or side walls, slightly above (and, on the side walls behind) the listening position. Angle them toward the listening area if possible.

Center Channel Loudspeaker

With today’s modern flat panel TVs, the most popular placement, and our recommendation for your center channel speaker, is beneath your TV screen. You may also place your center channel above your TV should you choose. LSiM center channel loudspeakers are very heavy, and we do not recommend wall mounting them, unless placed on a sturdy shelf.

Note: If you have an older model television, you could experience a color shift or image distortion in your TV’s screen. If that is the case, move the speaker away from your TV.

F/X Surround Loudspeakers

The LSiM Series surround loudspeakers must be wall- mounted, either on side walls or rear walls; they have built-in wall mounting keyhole slots. Mount the loud- speakers 6-8 feet off the floor. If you’re setting up a 7.1 system, mount the Surround Back Left and Surround Back Right loudspeakers at the same height as the Surround Left and Surround Right loudspeakers.

Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers (LSiM702f/x = approx 28.9 lbs/

13.1kg ea). Be aware of any electrical wiring or plumbing that may be behind your walls.

Note: The LSiM702f/x Surround Loudspeaker should be oriented so that its Dynamic Sonic Engine (3 1/4" mid-range and 1" Ring Radiator tweeter) points toward your listening area. Therefore, the F/X surround loudspeaker that would serve as the right surround on a sidewall will become

the left surround on a rear wall.

LSiM specifications

Polk Audio has long been synonymous with quality sound reproduction, and the LSiM series stands as a testament to this reputation. Known for their innovative engineering and exceptional sound quality, the LSiM speakers are designed to cater to audiophiles and casual listeners alike, delivering a rich and dynamic audio experience.

One of the main features of the LSiM series is its use of advanced materials and technologies, which include the use of Dynamic Balance drivers. This unique driver technology enables the speakers to minimize distortion while maximizing transparency and sound detail. The LSiM speakers are equipped with a 1-inch ring radiator tweeter and a specially designed 5.25-inch midrange driver. This combination ensures that high frequencies are crisp and clear, while midrange sounds are natural and warm, providing a well-balanced audio performance across genres.

Another standout characteristic of the LSiM series is its construction quality. The cabinets are meticulously engineered using high-quality materials that help reduce resonance and ensure durability. The curved design not only contributes to aesthetics but also aids in the dispersion of sound, resulting in a wider sweet spot for listeners. Each speaker comes with a rear-firing bass port that enhances low-frequency response, allowing for deeper bass without compromising clarity.

Polk Audio has also integrated its patented Power Port technology in the LSiM speakers. This technology effectively extends the low-end frequency response while eliminating turbulence and distortion caused by traditional port designs. The result is an impressive bass output that remains tight and controlled, perfect for both music and home theater applications.

The LSiM series offers versatility in terms of speaker configuration. Available in various models, including floor-standing, bookshelf, and center channel options, these speakers can be mixed and matched to create a custom sound system that fits any space. Their aesthetic appeal is further enhanced by a modern and elegant finish, making them a stylish addition to any room.

In conclusion, the Polk Audio LSiM series combines advanced technologies with superior craftsmanship to deliver an unparalleled listening experience. Whether for a high-end home theater setup or everyday music enjoyment, the LSiM speakers promise to provide an immersive soundstage and exceptional audio fidelity, making them a remarkable choice for anyone seeking quality sound in their home.
