Audiophile sound from speakers you can barely see

Give your home theater the sleek, integrated look and advanced, audiophile-pleasing performance it deserves with a Polk LCi Series LC265i in-wall speaker. This single speaker is an ideal center-channel or rear-center channel speaker (in 6.1-channel systems) designed for easy, clean installation, system integration, and high-performance sound reproduction. Rotating cams make securing the LC265i in the cutout hole easy and mess-free. While the paintable powder-coated aluminum grille and flange let you visually blend the LC265i into your listening area, timber matching to LSi Series ultra high-performance loudspeakers acoustically fits this speaker in seamlessly with the rest of your Polk audio system. Finally, the LC265i's 3-way speaker configuration (woofer, midrange driver, and tweeter) features advanced audio-reproduction technologies that deliver the full gamut of sound to your home theater.

A woofer with back up . . . Polk's PowerPort

Filling out your home audio experience with those low-frequency sounds that you almost feel more than hear, the LC265i's 6.5" woofer driver's design not only features a mineral-polypropylene construction with rubber surround for enhanced damping and accuracy, but is also enhanced by Polk's PowerPort vented enclosure. Vented systems use the sound produced at the rear side of the driver's diaphragm to increase the efficiency of the system at low frequencies by taking advantage of the resonance of ports or vents designed into the enclosure. The air mass in the cylindrical ports resonates in response to the movement of the air behind the diaphragm within the enclosure, similar to the way that the air in a glass bottle resonates when you blow air across its mouth. The LCi Series is the first in-wall speaker series to feature the PowerPort's superior bass response and low distortion.

Stuck in the middle with you — Dynamic Balance®

Bringing you high-efficiency, clear mid-range audio, the LC265i's 6.5" mid-range driver stands tall upon two performance-enhancing design technologies — Dynamic Balance® and aerated-polypropylene cone materials. First, 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. Second, an aerated-polypropylene construction features perfectly balanced thickness, density, and stiffness, allowing the LC265i's mid-range driver to achieve exceptional accuracy.

The tweeter

The incredible accuracy and astonishing detail achieved by the LC265i'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. For optimal control of the tweeter's directivity and for excellent imaging, the LC265i's tweeter is mounted in a 15° swivel socket for custom aiming of the speaker's high-frequency output.

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 LC265i'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 LC265i'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 LC265i speaker you just bought. No, it's more likely that you'll be installing it 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 LC265i 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 LC265i 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 LC265i's potential.
