World’s First Active High Performance IP Addressable Loudspeakers
Polk Audio LCi-IP Ultra High Performance In-Wall/ In-Ceiling Loudspeakers are the world’s first active Internet Protocol-ready Loudspeakers. They were created for IP networked systems (such as the ground-breaking NetStreams
amplifiers eliminate remote amplifiers connected via hundreds of feet of performance-robbing speaker wires. The built-in Digital
Signal Processor (DSP) and supplied Room Correction Software (the Performance Optimization Wizard
to be optimized for maximum performance in any room. While the LCi-IP Series provides the greatest functionality when used
within an IP-based system, these speakers are also compatible with any analog distributed audio system.

Wire Recommendations
Network Line
Shielded Cat5e or Cat6 cable with RJ-45 connectors. Wiring termination convention should be the same at both ends of the cable.
COMM Line
Shielded Cat5e or Cat6 cable with RJ-45 connectors. Wiring termination convention should be the same at both ends of the cable.
Analog Line
Low capacitance multi-stranded RCA shielded cable, or
speaker wire with speaker-level-to-line-level transformer
(such as the PAC SNI-35).
USB Connection
USB 1.1, 5-wire, USB to mini-USB cable.
Power Lines
These recommendations are for all connections from the
power supply to each speaker. 14/4 is recommended for
all applications. If this is not possible, refer to this chart:

LCi-IP Performance Optimization WizardSMProgram
Polk Audio provides the Performance Optimization Wizard
on CD-ROM. This program enables you to optimize the performance characteristics of Polk Audio LCi-IP speakers specifically to
their location in a given room and to the physical characteristics
of that room. You can also download the Performance
Optimization Wizard from our website
(www.polkaudio.com/downloads/po-wizard.exe ).
Walking Through the Room Optimization Choices
• This program can be used for installing and setting up in-wall or
in-ceiling LCi-IP speakers and asks basic configuration and room
environment questions (figure1).

Network In
LCi-IP speakers are designed for use with analog and digital systems.
The speakers perform equally well in either mode, though the digital
mode offers greater control functionality. Speaker-level-to-line-level
adapters are available for legacy analog systems where speaker wire
is already run, allowing connection to RCA input of the speaker.

Depending on the speaker you’re installing, its location and the
room, you may be asked for a series of measurements, including the
height of the listening room’s ceiling, distances from walls, ceiling
and floor to the speaker(s), as well as vertical and horizontal angles
of speakers relative to the listening area. You may also be asked to
provide measurements for the height, width, depth and center of the
listening area (see the LCi-IP Owner’s Manual for more).
