Polk Audio LCi-RTS100 Adjusting The Tweeter, Room Environment Controls 3dB Tweeter Toggle

ADJUSTING THE TWEETER

Aiming the tweeter toward your listening position improves imaging and detail. If you are using RTS100 Series as front/main home theater speakers, aim the tweeter toward your listening position. For rear/ surround speakers installed in walls or ceilings, aim the tweeter toward the nearest reflecting surface (an adjacent wall or ceiling) if you desire a more diffuse sound field. For more direct sound, aim

the tweeters at your listening position).

Important Note: LCi Series In-wall Loudspeakers are not magnetically shielded and should not be placed closer than 1’ (30cm) from a direct-view television or video monitor.

Room Environment Controls

3dB Tweeter Toggle

If your listening room is very reflective, with smooth sheetrock walls, hardwood floors, and non-cushioned furniture, the sound will be overly “bright” and unnatu- ral. Engaging the LCi tweeter attenuation feature (by selecting the “cut” setting) compensates for the effect of reflectivity in a hard room. Tweeter attenuation flat- tens room response, without hindering higher frequency response, for warmer, more realistic sound and more accurate imaging.

Wall Distance Toggle

In-wall loudspeakers excel when placed more than 2’ (60cm) from side walls. If position limitations demand that your loudspeakers be installed closer than 2’ (60cm) from side walls, the close proximity of the sur- face can result in a response “bump” between 50 and 200Hz. This can cause in-wall speakers to sound “boomy.” The distance toggle switch flattens response and tunes out “boominess” without sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound. If the speaker is closer than 2’ to a wall, engage the wall distance toggle (“Wall Dist.”) to match the <2’ setting. Recommended speaker distance from side walls

is 2 feet (60cm).
