SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Polk Audio LCFX Surround Loudspeakers give you nearly endless placement options. But remember that where you place your surround speakers requires some careful thought, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall or ceiling.
Left/Right Orientation: LCFX Surround Speakers have a left/right orientation, and each speaker is clearly marked on its baffle for installation on either the right or left. Right and left are defined from your listening area as you face your system’s center channel.
Directing the Driver (LC80FX)
The fixed 15° angled driver in the LC80FX allows you to direct the midrange towards your listening area when used for front stage
IMAGING
Solid/Diffuse Switch (LC65FX/LC80FX)
LCFX Surround Loudspeakers offer switchable “Solid” and “Diffuse” imaging patterns to create the surround effect you desire.
A “Diffuse” image is defined as one which creates a “cloud” of sound; think of the effect as ambient sounds which fill the environment all around you.
A “Solid” image is one which creates a more pin- point sound; sound is more directional and localized. Ultimately you are the best judge of what kind of surround imaging you prefer.
The schematic drawing of the room represents an ideal placement for all speakers in either a 6.1 or 7.1 speaker system.
