PLACEMENT OPTIONS

Polk Audio RCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers give you nearly endless placement options. But remember that placement choice for your in-wall speakers bears careful consideration, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall!

Fill a room with sound by installing in-wall speakers in nearly any wall or ceiling location [figure 1]. Polk RCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers have a wide dispersion pattern and aimable tweeters that allow you to focus their sound.

ADJUSTING THE TWEETER

Aiming the tweeter toward your listening position improves imaging and detail. When using RCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers as front/main home theater speakers [figure 2], aim the tweeter toward your listening posi- tion. For rear/surround speakers installed in walls or ceilings [figure 3], aim the tweeter toward the nearest reflecting surface (an adjacent wall or ceiling) for a more diffuse sound field (if you so desire; for more direct sound, aim the tweeters at your listening position).

RC55i, RC65i, RC85i models: Holding the edges of the tweeter carefully between the thumbs and forefingers of both hands, rock the tweeter slightly to aim it [figure 4]. RC60i, RC80i models: Grasping the round tweeter with the tips of the fingers of one hand, pivot the tweeter toward the direction you desire [figure 5]. Do not “turn” the tweeter like a door knob.

Note: RCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers are not magnetically shielded and should not be placed closer than 1’ (30cm) from a television or video monitor. If you experience discoloration or distortion, immediately move the speakers away from your TV.
