Design Goals
For many people, setting up a high performance component audio home theater
system presents several major obstacles. These include running and hiding wires
round the listening room, the cosmetic impact from 2 to 4 discrete speaker enclo-
a
sures placed in the room and ensuring their correct placement. While there are
several wireless products currently available, they’re either wireless amplifiers
that still use hard-wired speakers, or they’re individual powered speakers. Neither
of these products solve the issue of added clutter or difficulty of placement.
®
The Polk
F/X Wireless Surround addresses all of these issues with a simple and
elegant single in-room wireless speaker system that can easily be placed on the
floor, table or shelf behind the listening area. Through Polk Audio’s proprietary
Controlled Dispersion Array
™
(CDA) technology, the FX Wireless Surround creates
a convincing 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel surround sound stage. In addition Polk
Digital Logic
™
technology allows for three discrete placement options without
sacrificing performance.
While the vast majority of today’s surround sound receivers are equipped with
discrete line level 5.1 or 7.1 outputs, there are legacy products that are not so
configured. Polk’s F/X Wireless Surround transmitter incorporates both line
level and speaker levels surround and surround inputs.
SYSTEM HOOK-UP & CALIBRATION
Transmitter:
Place the transmitter in the proper proximity to the receiver or preamp based on
cable length (there are two 5' RCA cables supplied). We do not recommend placing
the transmitter directly on top of the receiver or DVD player. Connect the power
supply and plug into a convenient outlet. The LED will glow RED until a connection
with the speaker has been established. Connect either 5.1 or 7.1 line level surround outputs from the receiver or preamp to the corresponding inputs on the
transmitter box.
Included Accessories
• Two pairs of 5' long male to male RCA cables

Transmitter Inputs
1. Audio Inputs—Line level and speaker level.
This is where you connect your transmitter to
your receiver or processor. You may make either
speaker level or line level connections, but
never make both connections at the same time.
2. Power Connection—The transmitter power
supply is connected here.
3. Power LED—Shines blue to indicate
the transmitter is active and connected
successfully to the loudspeaker. Shines red
to indicate the transmitter and loudspeaker
have failed to establish a wireless connection.
4. Scan—Push this button to re-establish the
communication link between the transmitter
and loudspeaker.
