Polk In-Wall Sound Tailoring Technology gives your LCi & TCi Series installation the performance edge by compensating for room and placement anom­alies. Use the Tweeter Level Switch to adjust high frequency response for your room acoustics. The Wall Distance Toggle Switch flattens bass response in speakers installed near a corner or adjacent wall. Off-Axis Targeting boosts selected frequencies to improve imaging in off-axis listening positions. See more about In-Wall Sound Tailoring at www.polkaudio.com/catalog/technology/.

The RC6s gives you broad sound coverage in situations where two speakers would be impractical. It features an innovative dual tweeter design and dual voice coil driver in a shallow-fit speaker, perfect for corners, hallways, or even shower stalls.
Dual tweeters deliver left & right channel highs, while a vented, dual voice coil driver automatically “sums” left & right channel mids for stereo imaging. Durable, moisture-resistant materials, aluminum grille and stainless, rust-resistant hardware for safe use in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas, even under outdoor eaves. Round shape and flush design mimics the look of recessed lighting. Dynamic Balance Composite Cone Driver is timbre­matched to other Polk Audio speakers. Polk’s Rotating Cam Mounting System ensures fast and easy installation.

Advanced laser imaging technology allowed Polk Audio engineers to see the entire vibrating surface of a driver and tweeter; they could actually see the resonance develop on the speaker cones—resonance that is the root cause of loudspeaker distortion (A). Being able to see the resonance develop, they determined the “Dynamic Balance” of high-tech materials, geometry and construction that effectively tune out the offending reso­nance (B). Exclusive Dynamic Balance Composite Material Technology delivers sound that’s effortlessly clean and clear, even at lifelike volume.

** About Power Ratings: The Federal Trade Commission has issued new regulations regarding the power ratings of all amplifiers, including self-powered speakers. Polk Audio supports this effort to standardize power testing methods in order to provide consumers with a “level playing field” basis for comparison. Note, however, that the FTC rating is based on the “Continuous Power” output of the amplifier. Music and movies are rarely “continuous” but are mainly composed of short bursts of sound. For this reason we also supply a “Dynamic Power” rating that measures the ability of the amplifier to produce power in short bursts similar to those found in music and movies. In our experience, an amplifier with higher Dynamic Power output will play louder under most conditions regard­less of the continuous power rating.
