Mix and match TCi Loudspeakers with Polk Audio RTi
Series speakers to create a voice-matched system that deliv­ers multi-channel realism without the space requirements
of traditional speaker systems. TCi speakers are tuned to the
“Infinite Baffle” of in-wall space, for surprising bass exten­sion from an in-wall speaker. Easily accessible front panel
controls tailor your sound for any installation location.

Polymer Composite Cones for wide response & aimable
1" tweeters for detailed highs and excellent imaging.
Power Port Bass Venting extends bass definition;
Infinite Baffle Tuning uses the virtual enclosure of in­wall space for superior performance (TC265i & TC65i).
Boundary Switch flattens response in reflective
installation locations; Tweeter Level Switch
tailors highs to your room acoustics.
Durable, moisture-resistant materials, aluminum
grilles and stainless, rust-resistant hardware
for safe use in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas,
even under outdoor eaves.

Series: Total Control, Total Custom Sound

Polk Audio loudspeakers shatter the boundaries of bass response with patented Power Port bass venting technology. Conventional ports have limitations:
air turbulence at the mouth of the port can cause “port noise” and bass output losses of up to 3dB. (A loss of 3dB means that half of your amplifier power
is being wasted on turbulence instead of bass!) The distinctive design of the Polk Audio Power Port gradually slows air exiting the port, vastly reducing
turbulence, port noise and energy loss. The result is bass that reaches out, grabs you by the lapels and shakes you up. See more about Power Port at
www.polkaudio.com/catalog/technology/.

Custom engineered Polk Audio Performance Enclosures offer the best possible sound quality with pre-construction and major renovation installations
of Polk In-Wall Loudspeakers, especially LCi & TCi Series In-Wall & In-Ceiling models. They are “perfect-volume” cabinets that provide Polk LCi & TCi
speakers with the ideal volume and internal damping material for optimum bass performance. Constructed of rigid MDF and extensively braced to
ensure that all of the speaker's energy works to produce tight, clean, low distortion bass, Polk Performance Enclosures guarantee the most consistent,
dynamic, full-spectrum sound, with superior bass extension and superior room-to-room sound isolation. See more about Polk Performance Enclosures
at www.polkaudio.com/catalog/technology/.

Use round TCi speakers anywhere you need high perform­ance sound but don’t have the room or the desire for even
the smallest of freestanding loudspeakers. TCi speakers are
perfect for use in locations demanding extreme durability
because they feature moisture resistant materials. The
15° Driver Offset (TC80i & TC60i) means more uniform
coverage and better imaging; easily accessible user con­trols let you tailor the sound to your specific installation.

Durable, moisture resistant materials—safe for use
in kitchens or baths, even under roof eaves for stealthy
outdoor audio applications.
Dynamic Balance Polymer Composite Cone for smooth
response and aimable Silk Dome Tweeter for clear,
detailed highs; 15° Driver Offset for better imaging
(TC80i & TC60i).
Paintable, powder-coated Aluminum Grille.
Boundary Switch flattens response in reflective
installation locations; Tweeter Level Switch tailors
highs to your room acoustics.
Timbre-matched to the whole Polk Audio
RTi Series of high performance loudspeakers,
round TCi models make perfect “invisible”
surround speakers.

** 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.
