PLACEMENT OPTIONS ADJUSTING THE TWEETER Polk Audio LCj 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 or ceiling! Aiming the tweeter toward your listening position improves imaging and detail. When using LCj Series In-Wall Loudspeakers as front/main home theater speakers [figure 2], aim the tweeter toward your listening position.
PERFORMANCE ENCLOSURES DIRECTING THE DRIVER (LCi60 & LCi 80) Are available for all models. These are engineered enclosures that mount in the wall or ceiling to maximize the bass and midrange performance of your LCj Speakers. They are typically installed prior to drywalling in new construction, but can be retrofitted if desired. The fixed 15° angled driver in the ceiling speaker allows you to direct the midrange towards your listening area when used for front stage (l~ft-center-right).
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS The LCi Series features technology that can tailor the sound for performance in difficult or unusual placement situtations. LC265i, LC65i, LC80i & LC60i MODEL ADJUSTMENTS: Wall Distance Toggle - In-wall loudspeakers excel when placed'more than 2' (60cm) from side walls. If position limitations demand that in-wall loudspeakers be installed closer than 2'(60cm) from side walls, the proximity of the surface can result in a response "bump" between 50 and 200Hz.
LC801 & LC601 MODEL ADJUSTMENTS: Area Targeting - Round LCi models feature a swiveling Ring Radiator 'I\veeter speaker for better directionality. The "sweet spot" is within a 30° cone of sound coming from the aimed speaker. The round model LCi Loudspeakers feature an innovative Area Targeting Switch. Engaging this function "expands" the area of high frequency response, improving off-axis imaging and filling the room with well-balanced, high performance sound.
PAINTING YOUR Lei 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 Lei speakers, see page 10). PREPARING TO PAINT: 1. Separate the parts of the speaker.
PAINTING THE FRAME: 1. Apply paint to exposed (unmasked parts). Use two or more thin coats. Spray painting is recommended [figure 8]. 2. When the paint is completely dry, remove the masking material. PAINTING THE GRILLE: 1. The grille of the LCj Series speaker features an even, protective paint. This paint is an ideal primer. 2. Grilles must be spray painted. Do not use a brush and paint. Thick, brushed paint may clog the grille holes. 3.
INSTALLATION YOU WILL NEED: Out of the box and into the wall, that's how easy it is to install Polk Lei Series In-Wall Loudspeakers. • Pencil for marking the location of installation If you intend to do the installation yourself we recommend that you possess some skill in the proper use of hand and power tools. You should have a thorough understanding of local building and fire codes and a familiarity with the area behind the wall or ceiling into which you plan to install your speakers.
FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS: • 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). • Make sure the locations you select do not conceal studs, electrical wiring or plumbing. Prior to installation, hold the speaker in your chosen location to make sure it safely clears obstacles such as studs, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames.
• 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. Make sure that the rotating wall clamps are flipped inwards so that your speaker fits into your cutout without nicking your wall.
SAFETY FIRST When installing your LCj Series In-Wall Loudspeakers, be aware of the weight of your particular model (see specification page for the weight of your model) and the sturdiness of the material into which you are installing the speaker. Also be aware of any concealed studs. electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or ceiling into which you are installing the speakers. If you are not sure of a safe way to install these speakers, consult a professional installer, your authorized Polk Audio dealer.
