LCi-IP speakers are designed for use with analog and digital systems. The speakers perform equally well in either mode, though the digital mode offers greater control functionality. Speaker-level-to-line-level adapters are available for legacy analog systems where speaker wire is already run, allowing connection to RCA input of the speaker.

Recommended Configuration

LCi-IP Performance Optimization WizardSM Program

Polk Audio provides the Performance Optimization WizardSM

on CD-ROM. This program enables you to optimize the perform- ance characteristics of Polk Audio LCi-IP speakers specifically to their location in a given room and to the physical characteristics of that room. You can also download the Performance Optimization Wizard from our website (www.polkaudio.com/downloads/po-wizard.exe ).

Walking Through the Room Optimization Choices

This program can be used for installing and setting up in-wall or in-ceiling LCi-IPspeakers and asks basic configuration and room environment questions (figure1).

Figure 1

Depending on the speaker you’re installing, its location and the room, you may be asked for a series of measurements, including the height of the listening room’s ceiling, distances from walls, ceiling and floor to the speaker(s), as well as vertical and horizontal angles of speakers relative to the listening area. You may also be asked to provide measurements for the height, width, depth and center of the listening area (see the LCi-IP Owner’s Manual for more).
