PLACEMENT OPTIONS
Polk Audio TCi 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!
Fill a room with sound by installing in-wall
speakers in nearly any wall or ceiling
location [
figure 1]. Polk TCi Series In-Wall
Loudspeakers have a wide dispersion pattern
and aimable tweeters that allow you to focus
their sound.
ADJUSTING THE TWEETER
Aiming the tweeter toward your listening
position improves imaging and detail. When
using TC
front/main home theater speakers
i Series In-Wall Loudspeakers as
[figure 2],
aim the tweeter toward your listening position. For rear/surround speakers installed in
walls or ceilings [figure 3], aim the tweeter
toward the nearest reflecting surface (an
adjacent wall or ceiling) for a more diffuse
sound field (if you so desire; for more
direct sound, aim the tweeters at your
listening position).

Performance enclosures 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 TCi
Speakers. They are typically installed prior to
drywalling in new construction, but can be
retrofitted if desired.
Get more information about performance
enclosures: polkaudio.com/catalog/technology.
Note: TC
i Series In-Wall Loudspeakers are
not magnetically shielded and should not
be placed closer than 1’ (30cm) from a
direct view television or video monitor. Test
your distance BEFORE INSTALLATION by
simply holding the speaker in the place you
plan to install it, and seeing how it affects
any TVs or video monitors nearby. If your
monitor experiences discoloration or distortion, immediately move the speaker a little
farther away.
DIRECTING THE DRIVER (TC60i & TC80i)
The fixed 15° angled driver in the ceiling
speaker allows you to direct the midrange
towards your listening area when used for
front stage (left–center–right). When used as
rear surrounds or 6.1 or 7.1 back speakers,
direct the driver towards the listening area
for a more direct sound field or toward a
wall for a more diffuse soundfield.
AIMING THE TWEETER
TCi models feature a swiveling Dome Tweeter
for better directionality. The “sweet spot” is
within a 30º cone of sound coming from the
aimed speaker. [figure 4]
MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS
The TCi Series features technology that can
tailor the sound for performance in difficult
or unusual placement situtations.
TC265i, TC65i, TC80i & TC60i MODEL
ADJUSTMENTS:
Wall Distance Toggle — In-wall loudspeakers excel when placed more than 2’
(60cm) from side walls [figure 5]. 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.
This can cause in-wall speakers to sound
“boomy.” The Distance Toggle Switch flattens
response and tunes out “boominess” without
sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound.

altavoz posterior o surround, oriente el tweeter hacia la superficie reflectora
más cercana (pared o cielorraso adyacente) para producir un campo de sonido
más difuso.
Exemples d'installations au mur et au plafond. Pour usage arrière-ambio
phonique, dirigez les tweeters vers la surface réfléchissante la plus proche (mur

désirez une image sonore plus diffuse.

Zerstreuung des Schallfelds
in Richtung der nächstliegenden reflektierenden Flächen
positioniert werden (Wand oder Zimmerdecke).
