PLACEMENT OPTIONS ADJUSTING THE TWEETER 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! 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 position.
PAINTING YOUR RCi SERIES IN-WALL LOUDSPEAKERS You will need: • Paint of your choice (to make the job easier, we recommend spray painting the grille) • A paperclip or corkscrew (for removing the paintable grille, corkscrew can also be used to open the wine when you relax with your newly painted RCi speakers)) • Masking tape • Paint mask (to cover unpaintable parts, supplied!) PREPARING TO PAINT: PAINTING THE FRAME: 1. Separate the parts of the speaker.
INSTALLATION YOU WILL NEED: FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS: Out of the box and into the wall, that’s how easy it is to install Polk RCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers. • Pencil for marking the location of installation • Make sure the material into which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers (see specification page for the weight of your model).
SAFETY FIRST • To install the speaker, first carefully remove the grille using a straightened paperclip or other pointed metal tool. Insert the point into one of the grille perforations near a corner and lift the grille free. Never use a knife or screwdriver to pry between the grille and the speaker frame. This will damage your speaker. • Loosen the rotating wall clamps by unscrewing them.
