A solid, stealthy center channel
Complete the sleek, modern, streamlined look you began giving your home theater with your purchase of a flat panel HDTV. An in-ceiling speaker like Polk's LC60i allows you to experience impacting audio without altering the aesthetic of your listening area. The LC60i serves as an ideal, stealth-mounted center-channel speaker for your home theater, designed for easy, clean installation, system integration, and high-performance sound reproduction. Rotating cams make securing the LC60i in the cutout hole easy and mess-free. While the paintable powder-coated aluminum grille and flange lets you visually blend the LC60i into your listening area, timbre matching to the LSi Series ultra high-performance loudspeakers acoustically fits this speaker in seamlessly with the rest of your Polk audio system. Finally, the LC60i's 2-way speaker configuration (midrange driver and tweeter) features advanced audio-reproduction technologies that deliver the full gamut of sound to your home theater.
Stuck in the middle with you — Dynamic Balance®
Look to Polk's Dynamic Balance® technology for clear mid-range audio from the LC60i's 6.5" mid/woofer driver. Using laser-imaging, Dynamic Balance technology has allowed the folks at Polk to create the right combinations of materials, driver geometry, and construction techniques to produce flat frequency response, sharp detail, transparency, and dynamic wide-range audio reproduction.
The tweeter
The incredible accuracy and astonishing detail achieved by the LC60i's 1.0" tweeter has but one source — a ring-radiator tweeter design. Every element of the ring-radiator tweeter's design is aimed at revealing all the nuances in your favorite songs and soundtracks. The Ring Radiator Diaphragm delivers flat response, precise detail, and overall accuracy thanks to an ultra-light woven diaphragm that reduces resonance by leaving very little material unsupported. A high-frequency waveguide prevents phase cancellations for smooth frequency response and wide dispersion, while a low-frequency waveguide promotes laminar airflow between chambers in the dual-chamber cavity, thus reducing air turbulence. Flattening the impedance curve, lowering distortion, and extending high-frequency response is a copper "Faraday Cap" on the pole piece. Additionally foam and Dacron cavity-fill materials absorbs the diaphragm's back-wave radiation for flatter frequency response.
Beyond the drivers
A speaker is a unit . . . a perfect blend of a variety of components that operate in unison to deliver an impacting audio experience. While much time is devoted to discussing driver technology, a speaker's cabinet design is of equal importance, as poorly designed enclosures can resonate with the drivers, creating unwanted interference and distortion. The LC60i's glass-filled composite baffle provides a dense, acoustically inert platform for the speaker's high-end components, protecting the drivers and enhancing their performance by reducing resonance. Also, Composite Driver Baskets® keep the LC60i's drivers' moving parts in rigid alignment, thereby also damping performance-robbing resonance.
Take control
Chances are that you aren't building a room or house to match the LC60i speaker you just bought. No, it's more likely that you'll be installing them in your current home's listening area. So, if you aren't custom-building your house to match the speakers, you ought to be able to customize your speakers to your listening area, right? Absolutely. The LC60i features both a tweeter-level switch, letting you tailor the highs to your room's acoustics, and a wall-distance toggle switch that flattens frequency response when installation requires that the speaker be placed near a corner or adjacent wall.
The finishing touches
Go one step further in your quest to reach the pinnacle of home audio. A high-performance outdoor speaker like your new Polk Audio LC60i can only help your home audio system reach its full potential if it is receiving a quality, high-integrity audio signal. Audio cables — chosen specifically for the needs of your system — deliver the ability to maximize your Polk LC60i's potential.
