11.Only use attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer.
12.Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15.WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.
16.To completely disconnect this equipment from the mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the receptacle.
17.The main plug of the power supply cord shall
remain readily operable.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Polk Audio LCi-IP ultra high performance loudspeakers are among the world's first active IP in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers. They were created for IP-net- worked systems but are also compatible with analog systems. A network decoder card (sold separately), built- in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and the Performance Optimization Wizard enables every LCi-IP speaker to be set up for maximum performance in any room environ-
ment. What’s more, LCi-IP speakers already come with an award-winning reputation, because they use the same driver technologies as Polk Audio's award winning high-end LSi Series.
The built-in DSP controls the electronic crossover, frequency equalization, bass enhancement and room optimization. Performance Optimization Wizard software, which integrators can use via a USB port and a PC, or on the internet through a network such as NetStreams™, optimizes each speaker for its location and room environ- ment. Depending on the speaker and its location, and the configuration of the room and its acoustics, you may
be asked to take a series of measurements, which you would then input into the Performance Optimization Wizard.
ACTIVE IP LOUDSPEAKER FEATURES
•With an open architecture network decoder card such as the StreamNet™ card and an Ethernet cable, integration with any system capable of streaming packet-switched audio in WAV or MP-3 format and TCP-IP control is possible.
•Pure digital signal all the way to the power amplifier outputs, with no losses and superb fidelity.
•Speakers automatically announce themselves to an open architective network via a network decoder card.
Self Amplified
•Amplifier at speaker minimizes losses associated with long runs of cable and passive crossover parts, creating higher fidelity.
•Efficient, cool running digital amplifiers.
•Bi-amplified (LC265i-IP is tri-amplified) with electronic crossover minimizes power loss and phase shift
for better sound.
•High Power for incredible dynamic range.
•Powered by 48V DC local power supply (sold separately).
Built-In DSP
•DSP allows unprecedented room optimization EQ for sound quality that can exceed free-standing speakers.
Peformance Optimization Wizard
•Use the Performance Optimization Wizard software with a PC connected via a mini USB port located on the front baffle of each speaker, or through the internet when the speakers are used in an IP network via a network decoder card. The software’s user interface makes the speaker position and room acoustics optimization virtually foolproof.
LCi-IP Speaker Technology:
•Foamed Polypropylene Dynamic Balance™ Cones (LC265i-IP): stiff and yet surprisingly lightweight-20% lighter than conventional polypropylene and 35% lighter than aluminum cones for spectacular midrange clarity, punchy bass and high efficiency.
•Casket Basket®: composite driver baskets keep moving parts in rigid alignment and damps performance-robbing resonance.
•The LC265i was the first in-wall speaker to feature the patented Power Port™ bass venting system for superior bass response with low distortion.
•Available Performance Enclosures deliver consistent room-to-room performance, improves bass and sound transmission.
•Round model (LC80i-IP) features 15° Driver Offset for better midrange clarity and imaging anywhere
in the room.
• Ring Radiator tweeters (the same tweeters used in the LSi Series) for smooth, extended highs with incredible accuracy and astonishing detail.
