LSiM702f/x Surround Loudspeaker Placement

Wall Distance Switch (located on baffle underneath the grille)

If position limitations demand that your LSiM702f/x loudspeak- ers be mounted closer than 2' (60cm) from side walls or ceiling, the proximity of the surface can result in a response “bump” between 50 and 200Hz. This can cause the loudspeakers to sound “boomy.” The “Wall Distance” switch flattens response and eliminates “boominess” without sacrificing deep bass response for more lifelike sound. Set the switch accordingly, <2' (60 cm) or >2' (60 cm).

Wall Mounting LSiM702f/x

Prior to installation, hold the speaker in the chosen location,

6 to 8 feet off the floor, to make sure it safely clears obstacles such as ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames.

Using the keyhole slots in the bracket template (included), mark the installation location of the two keyhole slots with a pencil. Orient the template so that the small ends of the keyhole slots are facing “up.”

1.If you are certain that there is a stud behind the wall surface, drive a screw (not included) capable of supporting the loudspeaker’s weight through the wall and into the stud.

2.If there is no stud behind the wall at the chosen location, install a wall anchor (not included) capable of supporting the loudspeaker’s weight into the wall by following the wall-anchor-manufacturer’s instructions.

3.For masonry walls, use a masonry drill bit and #10 masonry anchor and screw (not included).

4.Tighten screws into stud or wall anchors, leaving screw heads protruding 1/4" (6mm).

5.Make all wire attachments now.

6.Line up the keyhole slots on the back of the speakers so that the screw heads pass through the large center hole of the slots.

7.Let the speaker slide straight down, allowing the screw head to slip behind the smaller end of the keyhole slot.

8.Tug gently on the speaker to make certain that the screws and bracket are properly aligned and that the wall anchors are secure.

9.If the bracket is not held snug against the wall by the screw heads, remove the speaker from the wall, drive the screws in a little further and then remount the speaker.

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.
